Limp Bizkit are in C# standard.

Tune to B standard and play Blinded by Fear by At the Gates.

all the good metal bands usually use drop c, standard tuning, or b standard with a seven string

13 years of grief and stronger than death by BLS are in drop B.

[kidthatplaysguitar91]

[The_Mop]

Pfft. That's nothing.


Should hear Meshuggah's tuning from Stengah.

F# standard with the bottom string on E.

And that's an octave BELOW E :)

[GibsonPlayer]

[kidthatplaysguitar91]

They dont even need a bassist hah

[publicastration]

Nevermore...... but you'd need a 7 string.

[mike-o]

good enough by van halen is in drop A, which is about a billion times more badass than drop b

[Gumble Bee]

Mastodon uses drop B occasionally, most notably, "March of the Fire Ants" and "Iron Tusk."

[yoyohomieg5432]

No more tears - Black Label Society I think is in B, not 100% though
no, its either drop d or drop d flat, its in one of my guitar mags, im too lazy to find out tho

[Miek]

Actually, Iron Tusk is a step down on all the strings except for the lowest string, which is tuned to A

[Rolie Polie Oli Hebert]

Same with March Of The Fire Ants..

[Miek]

And if you aren't already in Drop B, tune to C# standard instead and learn All Bodies \m/

I didn't know about that one so I didn't mention it.

[Rolie Polie Oli Hebert]

rofl

gl with that

tab plz

[XxRoycexX]

Meshuggah play 8 string guitars and then tune down even more, thats pretty damn low :thumb: there song war or anything off catch33 sound like the strings are going to fall off the neck. wicked band though.

[Ibanez Slayer]

18 Visions uses Drop-B, as does Sepultura.
sepultura doesn't used drop b on refuse resist.

[Ibanez Slayer]

Haha yes, do what this man says, although yes, you probably will have a hard time finding a good tab, but I think I've seen one before, can't remember where though.

[The Black Fist]

Wow this dude comes in asking for songs in drop-B and you guys have given him just about everything but that

also No More Tears was by Ozzy not BLS, but when BLS play it live they make it friggin' badass

[ckynadian]

Rage's cover of Maggie's Farm :thumb:

[purple_hazer]

cathedral tune to e standard sometimes


e StAnDaRd a WhOlE OcTaVe DoWn!!!

[Amp'd]

i Guess you could transpose some of the 7 string Dream Theater songs.

7>6>Drop B

[nightwalker]

i know 30/30/150 by stone sour is but you said no slipknot and that sort of classes as slipknot. but still good.

[repcak]

Amon Amarth
Behemoth

[211dave112]

i may be being really naive, but what really is th epoint in tuning down so low, the guitar and bass in standard tuning fit together perfectly. like when you start tuning down what role is the bass playing- most of it's inaudible cos its so low.

[repcak]

because most death metal singer sing... äh... growls very deep...

imagine someone growling "grrrooooaawwrr" and the guitar is in e-standard
imagine someone growling "grrrooooaawwrr" and the guitar is in b-standard

what will sound better?

btw. it sound more "evil" and "dark" when the guitar is tuned low

Yeah, but with deep, it's better to tune your guitar up. If you listen to some Smiths songs, you'll see how it's applied.

[Prince Charming]

Amon Amarth
Behemoth
Behemoth plays in C#

[Squirrel]

Only on the latest release.

But apart from that they don't use 'drop' tunings.

[Esp Griffyn]

I think some Soilwork tracks are in Drop B

They use B standard on 6 string, they might as well just get 7 strings.

[repcak]

does this guy mean now:

B E A D F# B
or
B F# B E G# C# ?

[Miek]

B E A D F# B
or
B F# B E G# C# ?
Why in the world would you tune like that?

[Esp Griffyn]

I was reffering to BEADF#B

[Miek]

Maybe because technically that's what Drop B actually is :thumb:
ah, k.

[Squirrel]

Why in the world would you tune like that?

It's Drop D: Down one and a half steps.

Just like 'Drop D', but lower on all strings.

[Miek]

i looked too quick tbh

[Squirrel]

Fair deal.

[GibsonSGPlayer]

before i forget - slipknot

[GibsonPlayer]

before i forget - slipknot


can anyone share any that aint slipknot or limp bizkit

:rolleyes:

[GibsonSGPlayer]

:rolleyes:
:p missed that

[Jharaski]

Kataklysm use Drop D down 1.5 steps, which I assume you meant by drop B. I don't know, though, I could only find a couple tabs by them. Check out in Shadows and Dust. It's a pretty cool song and pretty easy.

[M33Schecter]

99% of chevelle songs

[OMGJosh]

Drop B = BEADGbe

[bleeding_fingers]

That's B standard buddy.

[Rolie Polie Oli Hebert]

Maybe because technically that's what Drop B actually is :thumb:

Maybe because technically Drop B is BADGBE.

[Frequently Tripping]

Prison Sex, Parabol and Parabola by Tool are in drop B.

Tom Morello likes to play in drop A a lot, think Calm Like a Bomb.

[HNLzero]

Hmm string gauges into the 90's

[Frequently Tripping]

There's a set of Zakk Wylde strings that are like 79's, makes me sick.

[Royd Rage]

Parabol and Parabola by Tool are in drop B.



yeah the e string is dropped to b but the a string is also dropped to e.

[lak89]

unless you have a 7 string, try This Dying Soul by Dream Theater

[Jharaski]

unless you have a 7 string, try This Dying Soul by Dream Theater
You're crazy. Never try a 7 string song on a down/drop tuned 6 string, especially Dream Theater. It makes things funky on the upper strings.
