Couple of quick questions. :)

Hey James, what tuning is the Disincarnate record in? Bb? B? C? It's driving me nuts.

Also, are you planning any more lessons with chopsfromhell.com? I'd be first in line for a instruction book or cd rom from you.

Thanks in advance.

that album was recorded using C# same thing as Db. no drop tuning or anything.. just every string tuned down one and a half steps from standard pitch.

from low to high: C# F# B E G# C#

i'll do some instructional stuff again in the future.. tied down at the moment.. but keep looking. one day, one day

Cool, thanks. I had a feeling it was low, but someone tried to tell me it was in Bb few years ago, and I just couldn't believe it.

Yup, I know you're real busy atm with recording gigs, "Within The Mind", and whatever's going on with the Disincarnate stuff. Just figured I'd ask, since I need all the help I can get.

Hey James, I'm a long time fan that just discovered this site.

I was just curious do you use heavier strings when tuned to C# or do you still use 10-46 for that tuning?

Thanks man

in the past i've used a custom set of 10-48 for the C# tuning.. but i can't remember all the guages in between unfortunately. hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply!!! Yeah, I like the sound of tuning down to D or C# but I'm having a hard time with 10's. I guess I have to heavy of a right hand. I think will try some 11-52's to see if that helps or else I guess I need to lighten up my attack. It might be this 2.0mm pick chuggin' things out of tune
