12.21.12 | I stick to E standard because im boring. |
bloc
12.21.12 | The one I use most is of course E standard out of laziness. But I am a fan of open G and C standard. |
sideburndude
12.21.12 | Ostrich tuning (All strings the same) can be great |
Minus.
12.21.12 | C sharp and B tuning is my fav. I'm about to get an 8 string in a couple of weeks |
PistolPete
12.21.12 | whatever Chevelle or Isis play in is what I like (as low and heavy as humanly possible) |
Sapient.
12.21.12 | sideburn i actually just tried that the other day (all E's) for the song mind riot by Soundgarden. it was intense |
Minus.
12.21.12 | Chevelle is in B |
Sapient.
12.21.12 | minus i am so fucking jealous, a lot of people think 8 strings are just for chugging djenty stuff, but
you can make some sick chords on one
yeah Chevelle is Drop B |
eternium
12.21.12 | Isis mostly plays in drop B. |
Minus.
12.21.12 | Yeah, I used to think an 8 string was completely unnecessary until I played one. I cant wait to get it
man. I use a Boss loop station when I play guitar. Once I have a few layers of guitar parts looping, I
hop on my drums and jam the fuck out. I spend hours in my man cave. |
Aids
12.21.12 | open d is pretty fun, so is d modal tuning
I'm not great with guitar tunings though. Y'all niggas need to talk to Jash, that guy uses the most fucked up tunings but he writes the coolest guitar lines with them. |
guitarnater
12.21.12 | 1 is best. |
figure337
12.21.12 | I write a majority of songs in D standard but I do enjoy writing and playing in drop A and C. |
Inveigh
12.21.12 | 7 string drop A
at least that's what I used to do, don't play guitar much anymore tbh. kind sad, considering I played every day for about 9 years straight at one point. |
KjSwantko
12.21.12 | Type O Negative plays more E Standard than anything else; I don't know why you said B standard (lol) on this list? |
guitarnater
12.21.12 | I refuse to play if my strings are not tuned so low as to collect dust off of the floor. |
guitarnater
12.21.12 | You can't be brootal without dusty strings. |
KjSwantko
12.21.12 | But anyway, I mainly just stick to to E and Drop D. |
wacknizzle
12.21.12 | Drop C and standard C nowdays, drop b for sludge. Bands like Botch and The Dillinger Escape Plan were awesome at making standard tunings sound heavy as fuck, Botch only played in drop d. |
lyzakthellama
12.21.12 | E standard, drop D or C standard |
demigod!
12.21.12 | loooove me some open C |
Trebor.
12.21.12 | Eb for Weezer, they have so many fun songs
I'm lazy as fuck so I just play in standard usually |
Trebor.
12.21.12 | In Flames play Drop A# on their newest 3 albums |
demigod!
12.21.12 | it's such an annoysnce to tune down a half step, I never bother unless I'm jamming to the cd |
MeatSalad
12.21.12 | E, D and C standard as well as one half-step down from E standard. Pretty much all the tunings nick drake used are my favorites |
aqualungcancer
12.21.12 | Drop B and whatever Daughters uses, as well as Annotations Of An Autopsy. |
demigod!
12.21.12 | I know Nile uses drop A, damn heavy |
owen
12.21.12 | Drop C to play Converge songs, drop D to play gallows, Every Time I Die and he is legend etc.
And standard tuning ofc |
MO
12.21.12 | I think my band plays in a low G...so that one |
TrstN01
12.21.12 | Korn tuning on my 7 string, drop D on my cheap Gibson, and drop C or B on my Strat, and standard on my ESP. |
Aids
12.21.12 | does anyone else here ever use D Modal tuning? I can't remember exactly what it is atm but it's something like DADDAD |
demigod!
12.21.12 | No buy I would like to try it. might give it a go tomorrow, I love playing around with alt tunings |
DrMaximus
12.21.12 | I like slappin the bass in G# Standard. |
XingKing
12.21.12 | It depends. On my solo material I mostly play in D standard and drop C. In my band it's E standard and drop D. |
insomniac15
12.21.12 | My band and I play in D tuning usually and rarely in E. However, I really enjoy playing in open C at home. |
liledman
12.21.12 | C# A# C F# A# D |
BlueMoonRising
12.21.12 | standard e most of the time (I am lazy but it sounds the best I think-can be heavy and has the best clarity) but if not I opt for drop d. |
JohnnyoftheWell
12.21.12 | 7 string is my fave, means I can fuck around with low notes and still hit the highs, but since that's kinda cheating I'll go for Eb standard |
Relinquished
12.21.12 | I like Drop B and B standard and the variations in the higher strings I come up with |

06.17.13 | "does anyone else here ever use D Modal tuning? I can't remember exactly what it is atm but it's something like DADDAD"
I think it's DADAAD cos that's what i've been using. |
XingKing
06.17.13 | I play in E Standard most often followed by D standard if I want a little heavier sound. I pretty much never go lower than that. I used to play in C Standard back in the day but I stopped playing so low once I grew out of my metal phase |
insomniac15
06.17.13 | I play in D standard, but I like Open C a lot. It's heavy and you can churn lighter stuff too. I've been messing around with the Crosby tuning (like on Guinnevere) - EBDGAD. You can get some crazy stuff with it. |
SitarHero
06.17.13 | I've been experimenting with Karnivool's hybrid Drop B/Standard tuning, but it just doesn't feel comfortable. |

Happy father's day |
Butkuiss
06.17.13 | I use Drop D on my guitar, standard or D standard on bass and Open D on my lap steel. I've wanted to start playing in Drop B but I just couldn't be fucked. It gets too muddy going lower on my guitar and I'd need thicker bass strings too. |
NeoSpaz
06.17.13 | Eb is my shit, though I use a custom tuning to write music. D G C G C E |
ButteryBiscuitBass
06.17.13 | Reuben drop C# is nice, System rinse that also. |
tommygun
06.17.13 | stndrd |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.17.13 | I've moved into Eb/drop Db |
thumbcrusher
06.17.13 | i really can't decide, keep moving between drop d, c#, c, open c, and d standard |
Ricochet
06.17.13 | Drop D and Stamdard |
treeqt.
06.17.13 | I played an A A C E C E tuning for a while which is completely fucking retarded.
I really enjoy playing open tunings because I'm fucking awful at actually properly playing a guitar so I'm currently jamming that open Dm.
