Death metal guys. Tuning?

[thetroy]

He said D Minor is the saddest of keys. That used to be true before equal temperment tuning

[NextInLine]

Did I say that they were? I was addressing the fact that there's less clarity and articulation the lower you go, which Jacksons Shred referred to as stupid and relentless. I described the characteristics that might make him see it that way, but didn't say myself that they were either stupid or relentless.

Sorry, my bad. I was answering your posts assuming you were him

[SlasZ]

I play in B, same tuning as my 7-string.

[Downfall]

I think it depends on the setup of your guitar and tone that determines out the sound of dropped tunings, If I remember rightly King Crimson hated standard tuning and decided that D standard was more conventional.

[MartyEvans]

My Jackson is in D standard but my Welsey V is in C standard, just in case I feel like playing some Arch Enemy

[horns666]

All my geetars are in D, and have been for years. Except my 7 string..that's standard..but the low B is good 'nuff.

[shadowcat]

B standard here, on 25.5" scale 6-string Jacksons strung with 13-56 D'Addarios. The other guitarist plays a 7-string.

I was going to say the same thing, you learn something new every day :ROTF:
All I know is your singer has to be Nordic with dark hair and sing from the bowels of his lungs! Oh yeah, your band name must start with DE too. At least thats what Strongbad says

The guitars should all be black and crafted under the light of the full moon from the tree of a hanged man...or is it a hung man? "Well-hung?" Something or other....

One of your band members is supposed to be dead, too. Or killed somebody...preferably both.

[SlasZ]

I think you guy's are confusing black & deathmetal here

lungs have bowels? that could explain my shitty breath....

[Drizzt]

I don't play death metal, but, since I normally tune in D, my Carvin DC727 is tuned in D also, with the low B one full step down to A: isn't muddy at all. It depends A LOT how you play/the amp settings.

[AfterForever]

If I play deathmetal is has got to be C#, like Dying Fetus among others.
