favorite tuning

[Lietuvis]

I mainly use standard tuning, but every now and then I like to tune down a full step. I rarely experiment with other tunings...

I usually use standard tuning, but sometimes put a capo on frets 2-5 to come up with songs with interesting open chords.
Drop D is pretty good. An old favourite of mine that I am slowly phasing out. I prefer drop Db

 

[xXBraveMurderDay]

My Guitar is set to

B E A D F# B

I don't like using it that much, so I usually tune up one step to C , or sometimes to D.

I'm thinking of changing the setup to D, but I can't do it myself. I'm scared I'll fuck up the truss rod...

 

[CF87]

Standard.

 

[SacredReich]

Standard/dropped d. Or when i'm forced to play Nile or AA, B dropped to A. Or just A. I hate it though.

get thinner strings...or just look up truss rod directions on google. its pretty easy. i was worried the first time i did it too...but it turned out to be suprisingly easy. i was then able to impress my friends when i could do it to their guitars.

usually D, because thats what symphony X plays in.

 

[shanky]

i keep it in standard or 1/2 step down.

if i want heavier sounds i'd use a 7 string. (if only i had one >.<)

 

[TheSilentMirror]

Open D Minor (D A D F A D)

 

[Braighs]

Open D Minor (D A D F A D)

I was using that before DADGAD. In fact, when I fist got my guitar, I knew nothing, so I just tuned it to DADFAD and strummed away.

I heard Opeth uses this, is this true?

 

[N-MAYH]

^ they use it on ghost revs...
i like to use standard or drop d... their fun to use and mess around with.. ive been playing for 7 years lol... ths bout it.. opeth uses a whole different slew of tunings, but mainly standard, drop d, and more recently dadfad

I've been using DADFAD a shitload for the past few months (even before GR came out, heh). It's yummy.
