Favorite Tunings
I was just restringing my guitar, and I was wondering what tunings you guys have a special attachment to, like ones that you usually leave your guitar in. I have my Gibson tuned to C# right now, that's probably my complete favorite tuning, and I just restrung my other guitar to B flat, Morbid Angel style for when I feel like jammin out some death metal sounding stuff.
So just let me know what the tunings you guys like the best are, and tell me why.

I like D very much.
This is a custom tunning (the numbes are showing how much does it needs to be up/downtoned)
E -4
A -4
D -3
G -5
H -4
E -4
It has got a sounding like you are playing on a very downtoned 7-strings without the E.

Actually, with logic, H would be the A, since H comes after G in the alphabet, and A comes after G in the musical alphabet. 
So is it B or A? |

Alright, the scale of musical alphabet is normally
'CDFEGAH'
If it has got one (or more) bass modifiers in it, the H is changes into B. Just like C changes into 'C sharp'.
'CsharpDFEGAB'

Yeah, here the major scale is basicly the same, but there's a H instead of the B.

So how'd you come across that tuning anyway? Does a certain band use it?

Nope... Once my giutar did came out of tune in the way of that tuning. I did precise it, because it was a bit off-key, and it sounded so cool, I kept that tuning, and now Black Section's giutarists uses it.

Low tunings remind me of Tony Iommi, considering he was about the first person to use them, and he actually did that due to losing the tips of two of his fingers...

Yeah, most of the nu-metal bands tunes just down to 'be heavy'. It is undignified.

I hate seeing 12-14 years old boys wearing red baseball caps, baggy jeans and wu-tang clan shirts. It's pissing me off.

First off, Dude, we didn't go far off topic.
Irrevocably, Katham, means that something is done and cannot be undone, or taken back,a nd such...know what I meant now?

I didn't want to be rude to Katham, when he asked what irrevocably means, but I have a feeling these most recent posts will be gone by tomorrow...

favorite tuning(s)
My favorite tunings I guess would have to be
Eb (for Slayer, Cannibal Corpse)
closed D (Death, Sepultura, Hate Eternal)
C# (Gorguts)
B (At The Gates)
Bb (Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse)
and that's it I guess.

Anyway back to the subject how some of you said low tuning is stupid. It might sound stupid if you just play the same two chords over and over and over again like Korn does. If you want to here how a seven string is played right then I would recomend listening to some Hypocrisy. I don't think that anybody can say that Peter Tagtgren isn't a bad ass mother fucker. And if your worried about floppy strings then i'd recomend getting a seven sting with some flatwound 14's slaped on it.
Anyway I don't own a seven string . My fovorite tunins are:
EB: for Slayer and Deicde
D : for Obituary, Six Feet Under and Death
C, C# ,B and A: for Hypocrisy

2001-09-03, 18:37

C# & Closed D for Pantera

I only tuned to Eb...mainly cause i have a floyd rose, and one of my locking nuts is loose, i don't tune down low, cause i have a hard time with it. If i have fixed bridge, i'd go to B and C# and whatever tunnings i'd have to to play some Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Death, Carcass and so forth....

Jesus, the mother fuckers from Morbid Angel tune that shit low, don't they?
Are the strings falling off of the fretboard?
I am pure standard babay! Of course I don't play metal music though

That's monstrously low! It's almost impossible to play shit that low. Early Staind, Mike Mushok tuned down to B I believe. Heavy shit!

I like tuning to Eb not only because it's tuning Slayer, Alice in Chains, and Van Halen play in, but it just feels better. I can get a broader vibrato and I can get whole-tone bends more easily.
There's an Alice in Chains song that uses an open D (I think) tuning. It's from their self-titled album, but I can't remember the name of it. Pretty cool tune though.
Oh, and on tuning to Gb for Sandblasted Skin, isn't that just Pantera's normal D tuning with the low D string dropped down to Gb?

thats because idiots think tuning to a Bb is low,because they use fucking 9's to tune down.
You have to understand the gauges and which tunings to use.I use 11-56 gauge to tune to a Gb and they already have a lot of tension on them,it doesnt fuck up my floyd rose either,i just had to take a spring out.
and no,its not a closed d,what the fuck,its just straight steps down to Gb why would he just use one string to a whoel song,its not even a dropped d,its so low.so that doesnt make sense.

I do understand gauges, i use 11-56 cause i find 9-42 is too thin and goes out of tune too fast.....and it's harder to down tune.....plus u can't go low with 9-42......but anyways, i don't think i'll ever need to go to Gb, i was just asking.

My Clapton Strat is tuned in E for shred style songs or some Testament, Iron Maiden, Sonata Arctica, or some blues shit which I rarely play. My Warlock is tuned down a step for Death or the more brutal Testament or Children of Bodom. My Jackson is tuned to Eb for Stratovarius, Iced Earth, and most other bands I jam to.
I can't pick a favorite tuning.

So just let me know what the tunings you guys like the best are, and tell me why.

depends what style you play, for doom metal I use, C#or D
For viking metal, I use E
For the rest, E or D#

i usually just play two guitars, i keep one down a hole step ( D,G,C,F,A,D) and i play this most of the time when recording my own music and with my band. I keep my other guitar standard if i feel like playing some classic shit or somethin.
