Standard. I know its different, but you can play the biggest variety of stuff on it. You just adjust your position on the board. I have been experimenting with play "one finger power chords" in standard tuning. It is easy, fast, and has a nice evil undertone to it. If you were to hit a standard three string power chord muting the low string it would be the sam thing, so this method gives you a lower set to work with. I call it "Drunge" [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

2 guitars standard tuning, 2 to E flat.
One of each has a D-tunas so I can Drop D in e of E flat.
I don't play death metal so I don't need to tune down
although I 'd love to pick up a Petrucci model 7 string so
I can play some of the stuff on "Train of thought" and some Sevendust once in a while. [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: Fellow Metalheads, How Do You Tune?

Standard and Eb, both with Drop D tuning as well. Sometimes I like to go lower than that but usually not for my own stuff.

Re: Fellow Metalheads, How Do You Tune?

D drop C (CGCFAD)

We don't play death metal, but this tuning just works for us.

Re: Fellow Metalheads, How Do You Tune?

You're supposed to tune?

Re: Fellow Metalheads, How Do You Tune?

I use 3 tunings really. B Standard, E and Eb all on 10-46 DR strings. I'll use 10-52 for B though

Re: Fellow Metalheads, How Do You Tune?

My model 6 is standard. I have one Wolfie in E (drop D w/dtuna) and the other in Eb (drop Db w/dtuna). My 7-string is 1 step down (A,D,G,C,F,A,D), plus it's non-trem so I can quickly change the 6th string to C to get a drop C tuning on the top 6 strings (C,G,C,F,A,D). This covers just about any song I want to play along with. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Fellow Metalheads, How Do You Tune?

DK1 is E (9-42). SG Standard is half step down (10-46). DC127 is one step down (10-46). Next time I change strings, it will be 9-42s. I like the feel.
