Re: What do you tune to?

ah, i mean, i like that veeeeery old slayer stuff, but to be honest i think the live versions are way better. AND they are tuned to Eb *lol*

which song (show no mercy) do you like most? for me it's either evil has no boundaries or die by the sword......hell, the war at the warfield version rocks so damn hard....cant stop headbanging

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">My favorites are Black Magic and Cryonics. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I still haven't gotten the Warfield dvd yet, but I'll eventually pick it up.

Four guitars in drop C and one in normal E tuning.

Re: What do you tune to?

I suppose I do spin my low E down to D and grab my slide fairly regularly.
I love playing slide!

C - just like ace , also same reasons why i don't use drop tunings [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: What do you tune to?

99% of the time Standard E. Once in a while dropped D.

I hate alternate tunings. I'm set in my ways. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: What do you tune to?

Man, I've been tuned to D for so many years I forget. Long before NuMetal. Love the low chug it has.

I started playing in D by tuning my low E string around till I hit a frequency that I liked and sounded right to me when chugging the low E. It was D, so there I stayed.

I have an SG tuned to standard, I never actually play it.

Re: What do you tune to?

Standard or Drop D.

Re: What do you tune to?

Currently...Both guitars in C
But occasionally I'll tune the LP back up to dropped D

Re: What do you tune to?

My two 7-strings are both tuned to 1/2 step down, and my Soloist is usually tuned to 1.5 steps down (C# tuning).

Back in the day I used to experiment a little more with alternate tunings, and I came up with the idea of creating tunings that spelled out words. The first, and only one, that I used was my 'daddy tuning': DADDEE. I wrote and recorded the rhythm guitar parts for one song using that tuning, while the leads were recorded in standard tuning. The song actually turned out really well. DADDEE was very cool, because you could create a very Rush-sounding series of opening ringing-string chords that were huge with two E-strings ringing out simultaneously. With the daddy tuning, you could also create interesting closely clustered chords like you'd hear a keyboardist play.

And yes, I was completely sober when I came up with that idea. I think. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
