What tuning do you prefer to use most often?

[Outlander]

E standard- A 440
used to have the strat to Eb for SRV stuff but its standard now too

[Mario8672]

I'm a new E standard convert.

[mulder1966]

Eb, drop D in Eb. I think 1/2 step down sounds better, and most singers I have worked with over the years like it. The wierd thing is that I have played in Eb for 25 years, but when I change strings, I always tune it to 440 by ear.

[scaristei]

On four guitars that I keep in standard E tuning (3 are using 9' and one uses 10's) all the rest (7other guitars) are tuned to D (a whole step down - and those use 12 - 54's) I found that the heavier strings combined with the lower tuning gives a very "wide - deep and rich" tone!

[paulbag]

drop D

[Brick]

E most thats ony my main guitar, then Bb on my 7 string and C on my other guitar. I think its pretty well rounded but i play in E the most

[RobRR]

E always. I keep one or two en Eb just incase I wanna play along to something thats Eb.

[fetty]

E or Drop-D, maybe i can go for Eb when I get a new guitar, but i don't like to change the tuning all the time

[Ace]

Mostly C standard
Sometimes A standard
occasionally:
FFA#D#GC(low F, tuning down, not up, so the adjacent strings are an octave apart)
EADGBE
DGDGA#D(try that one)
DGDGBD
DADGAD

I try to avoid "drop" tunings(ie. Drop D, Drop C etc...)

[donvandam]

Tunings I use most often in order.

1. E Standard
2. D Standard
3. Open F (F-A-C-F-C-F, But I've been using F-A-C-G-C-F lately)
4. Drop D
5. Open E (Tuned to Open C, Capo on fourth fret)

[Deneb]

Eb, but this band I'm playing in now, is a lot of standard, and DADGBE.

[Phantom Hawk]

90% of the time I stick with E. The rest of the time its C#

[mhalsey]

All of my guitars are standard tuning although I'm considering dropping one of them to Eb just for shits n' giggles to see how I like it.

[Ben_D]

Mostly Eb...sometimes Dropped-C# and D. It's easier to change tunings as I have KV Pro with Fixed Kahler and Ran Custom with Schaller StopTail bridge.

[wilkinsi]

you prefer to play an open tuning? Is that slide, fingerstyle, what style of music?

I don't play conventionally, meaning I can't play properly like everyone else cuz I'm too selfish to pay £20+ per hour/lesson. Look at my signature, go figure. I don't use my 3rd finger and can't even do proper finger stretch exercises. I'm influenced by Emperor (Black Metal).
