Too all guitarists!

[dmetalhead101]

I was just wondering your favorite tuning..
right now mine is C standard cuz im learing and tabbing out some Black Dahlia Murder stuff.

 

[ParsonsMatt]

D Standard, Drop C. Depends on the guitar.

 

[BlackMetalWhiteGuy]

Between four and five years ago I used dropped C a lot, but ever since then I've used mostly D standard. I occasionally tune lower, but I still use standard tunings almost exclusively, because they're easier to play in, unless you only use power chords.

 

[WolfFenrir]

Low B all the way.

 

[panzerfaust666]

well I have a lot of guitars. They all vary:
7 string #1-e( with low b)
#2-D STandard-(with low a)
6 strings.Drop d
Drop-c
e Standard
d Standard.

and then more standard guitars.

I love all tunings,E standard especially

 

[Hoosier]

1/2 step down standard, or Eb. i started out playing GNR, AC/DC, Van Halen, Lynyrd Skynyrd. all those bands play in Eb so ive always just stuck with it

 

[Pђoenix]

Don't particularly have a favourite tuning. Although, I'm not a big fan of dropped tunnings.

 

[razoredge]

I've always used standard tuning, no particular reason other than having a floyd rose and being in cover bands where others also had floyd roses and everybody just showed up and checked their tuning on the same tuner and played. Just never seemed to be a reason to tune differently, especially when picking out songs all the time. I want to drop down to D sometime, see how it goes.

 

[Vimana]

Standard, although sometime I'm thinking of trying Egyptian lute tuning.

 

[zacmenta]

Standard just about all the time. Will ocassionally tune down a step, or fuck around in Open D tuning, but I mainly use standard tuning.

 

[Vimana]

I use my whammy pedal to go down a step, I'm too lazy to tune it.

 

[razoredge]

I use my whammy pedal to go down a step, I'm too lazy to tune it.

ah man this pedal for my SGX drops in 1/2 step intervals clear to an octave which vibrates the speakers like a SOB. I havent applied it yet, its kinda trippy but if you screw up and stop out of key... its bad

 

[Xana]

C/C# most of the time. i love defeated sanity/suffocation sh*t.

 

[Element_man]

Usually E standard, but I also play in Drop D tuning often. I play all styles of music, but I've got one guitar and I'm too lazy to tunes the whole thing down, so swtiching between E standard and Drop D works well enough for me. I usually just jam out my own tunes anyways.

 

[cholo11]

D standard. I'd use other tunings if it wasn't a pain in the ass t change them with a FR. I'm thinking of Db (If it's called like that, I'm not the theory type.) because some songs I'm learning are in this tuning.

Db is a major key, so it's more likely that you'll be calling it C#, which applies to minor and phrygian keys.

 

[waif]

D standard is the shit. I love it. I use that and E standard pretty much exclusively.

 

[genocide roach]

i like E. but D standard is ok
~gR~

 

[Tonka Time]

probably C#

 

[waif]

Below D, everything seems kinda muddy and unpleasant.
