thanks for your recent help guys 
but i got another question:
i watched 3 different instructional dvds and the 3 have the guitars 1 step down, but even though that, they keep telling the notes of the fretboard are like if the guitar was in standard E (normal tuning). Its normal to consider this in general guitarrists? It does make things easier though..
for example he says "this is an E note", and if the guitar was in standard E it was in fact an E note, but as the guitar is 1 step down it isnt an E, but a D theorically. So they keep saying its an E even though sounds D? its this normal?
thanks

Guitar theory is often just stuck with standard tuning in mind. There's no reason to be nitpicky about it really, it's the intervals and relation/theory between those notes that is important, not the ACTUAL notes in space and time. However, you can view it either way. I generally say the actual notes because it makes sense to me, but plenty of people do it the way you described.
It is actually. My band has a bit of trouble, the guitars are downtuned a tone but the keys and violinist aren't.
They tell me a note and I have to think twice to figure it out, the same goes when I tell them a note I'm usually a tone low for them.

There is a reason why we have to talk using standard tuning notes instead of the actual step down notes:

nah i was just making a joke about bassists and their lack of theory skills.
In return I guess I should rip on us guitarists too:
How do you make a guitarist turn down his volume?
Put sheet music in front of him.

I bet some of the Loomis fans out here never heard about the japanese bonus track from Zero Order Phase called Omega's Influence.

I definitely like Fender jazz basses. My friend has one; its beautiful and sounds great. Would those pickups work well for metal? I should have also mentioned that I'm looking for a 5-string bass, preferably with active pickups (not a deciding factor though).
I just might consider those, the prices are hard to beat!

That's funny, however bassists usually refer to notes in terms of frets.
"Hey man, is that one riff on the 7th or 5th fret, I can't tell."
*facepalm*

I can see why that track was left off the album, it doesn't really sound like the others in context. Still a good song, kind of Marty Friedman influenced.
THIS.
Guitarists really need to start saying notes and scales by ear, it drives me insane when they do it based off of the fretboard.

What drives me nuts is how all guitarist can't agree on how to say a tunning.
I call it drop C and some other guitarist wants to argue with me saying I should call it drop D tunned down 1 whole step.
Or I call it D standard and they say, no it should be E standard down a whole step.
WTF over?

I know almost no theory and I always refer to frets and never to notes since it makes no sense, u mad cobot?
Yes...I hate you!
That chick getting hit in the face still cracks me up everytime.
Is it the fact that she gets knocked out or the face the guys makes afterwards that makes me laugh? Who knows...I just wish I could get it tattoo'd on me in video like that.

I remember him trolling me relentlessly when I first started posting here 'regularly'. He then disappeared soon after - same with Vikk.
