AnotherBrick: Anyone Play in Open C?

AnotherBrick 03.29.11	so ya, if you guys know any songs lemme know
ButcheredChildren 03.29.11	LOL open C, yah I am in F# we are worlds away
bloc 03.29.11	Only guy I know who does that is Devin Townsend. It seems to be good for getting big thick sounding chords but that's about it imo.
ButcheredChildren 03.29.11	isn't open C just C-Standard?
bloc 03.29.11	It's CGCGCE or something like that Personally, I'm loving D#
GhettoIndieshit 03.29.11	A/G# for me
ButcheredChildren 03.29.11	I think SOAD tuned to that once for a song on Toxicity, not entirely sure though that's a really obscure tuning, I don't see why you wouldn't just tune your guitar to B and play the notes a few frets over.
OutOfMyself 03.29.11	i play medium on guitar hero 2
AnotherBrick 03.29.11	I definitely need to mess around with different tunings. besides standard/drop d/drop c and now this, i really havent messed around with them.
37er00 03.29.11	2 is out??fuck yeah
acorncheese 03.29.11	Elliott Smith - Independence Day
ButcheredChildren 03.29.11	I just gave up bothering to tune my guitar lower so I bought an 8 string. I lock all the strings once I've got it tuned to F#BEADGBE. I can play anything I want and all I have to do is change the strings once ever month.
Trebor. 03.29.11	Drop A# kicks ass Check out American Football. They use a lot of weird tunings
bloc 03.29.11	Pshh, drop-D and C are for amateurs ;)
Ovrot 03.29.11	Drop A
LegendofPittman 03.29.11	Standard all the way for me. I rarely experiment with tunings, even though I would like to.
ButcheredChildren 03.29.11	A standard is pretty fun to play in and a lot of bands use it.
Trebor. 03.29.11	Drop FAGFAG is the best
bloc 03.29.11	Same, I stick with one tuning only because of my damn floating bridge...
beefshoes 03.29.11	I tune my 7 string in GCGCGCE for a lot of the recordings I do but I prefer Open B tuning.
ButcheredChildren 03.29.11	G is so unnecessary, if you're going to tune that low you might as well get an 8-string
bloc 03.29.11	Perhaps, but why shell out 1000+ bucks for an 8 string when you can pay 10 bucks for some super heavy gauge strings, no?
AnotherBrick 03.29.11	i'm definitely a fan of this tuning. quite fun. AND FUCK YOU BLOC. DROP D AND C IS FOR PROS
Gnocchi 03.29.11	Standard B.
Winsomniac 03.29.11	Because metal as fuck on a budget just sounds less edgy.
Trebor. 03.29.11	I so lazy I put my guitar in Drop D and tune the music up to D
ButcheredChildren 03.29.11	"Perhaps, but why shell out 1000+ bucks for an 8 string when you can pay 10 bucks for some super heavy gauge strings, no?" uhm.... http://www.rondomusic.com/8StringGuitars.html 8-strings there as low as $500 and you can buy packs of strings specifically for 8-string guitars on the same site. It's where I bought my Agile from.
Gnocchi 03.29.11	7 strings too?
bloc 03.29.11	I know I know, but I'm just saying there are other ways.
ButcheredChildren 03.29.11	rondo sells 7-strings, 8-strings and 9-strings as well as 12-strings this is my guitar: http://www.rondomusic.com/interceptorpro825ebblackflm.html
Trebor. 03.29.11	Damn that is fat as hell
Gnocchi 03.29.11	i just figured with 9 different guitars i don't have enough difference in tone.
ThyCrossAwaits 03.29.11	nope, but listening to that song now
bloc 03.29.11	Looks delicious
ButcheredChildren 03.29.11	I have alright tone on my guitar, it sound slightly murky because that's what sound mahogany wood produces. The sustain is nice through I use the EMG's that came with the guitar and get about 10 seconds before the note fades off
scissorlocked 03.29.11	needs moar strings
ButcheredChildren 03.29.11	idk if you guys have ever used multi-scale guitars http://www.rondomusic.com/MultiScaleGuitars.html if you are a prog kind of person they are amazing for arpeggio sweeping and all that good stuff
Gnocchi 03.29.11	i usually focus on a dirty choppy sound that suits my rhythm work. high gain, almost no middle works well with my triplet gallop work.
Trebor. 03.29.11	I've never seen guitars like that before
twlight 03.29.11	august burns red plays all their stuff in c im pretty sure. i play a lot of guitar and drop C is definitely good for metal but not much else
Gnocchi 03.29.11	some blues sounds better in c standard.
beefshoes 03.29.11	ABR uses Drop C, not Open C. And yes, the low G is definitely necessary. lol
WhiteNoise 03.29.11	I've flirted with the tuning but only to play hippy music on my accoustic. Fun tuning for sure and your can get some dramatic sounding noises happening.
twlight 03.29.11	yeah i read it wrong i thought you said drop C not open C never played in open C before....
