Who said Drop D was boring?

[LewisMembery]

Hard hitting but melodic sounding mix, tracked this earlier to test out some new equipment. Tracked in drop D on a telecaster.

Who says drop D isn't low enough!?

Patch plz. Also I love drop D, I write in it all the time for my alt-rock band. Holy crap though that melody. Here's something I did with similar gear for what it's worth (superior, Pod HD500, Deluxe Strat): http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/recording-studio/272102-trying-mix-some-new-styles.html

I'm an advocate for higher tunings! The song in my sig was recorded at drop D# (albiet an octave down from standard guitar tuning because I used a 6 string bass for everything)

 

[MikeDojcsak]

Sounds excellent dude! I'm a standard/drop d guy myself. Keeping it simple and straightforward.

I personally love drop d, I use it all the time on my 6. Nice tune man, I'd love to hear a full song out of it; awesome tone too!

 

[Eclipse]

I dig it!

 

[Skrapmetal]

Very cool. I find myself floating around higher tunings than the majority of this board, I think.

 

[4Eyes]

great track, really like it!

but it really depends on lot of things. when you record this kind of instrumental songs, you can use standard (higher tunings) and it will benefit from clarity and tightness without lots of effort. but once you engage vocalist, it depends on how high and in tune he can sing/scream. also in standard/drop D tunings they need to sing really high, that it reminds me kind of 80's hair/glam metal singing (I'm not really fan of that kind of vocals) and in that case singer must be really GREAT - Protest the hero is good example, they play in standard Eb in most of their stuff, they are heavy and have great vocals. but other than that, you'll need to go lower to get really heavy vocal that doesn't sound funny.

Exactly man, i've messed with all sorts of tunings but keeping it simple works!
