Protest are NOW using Eb for their 'Fortress' stuff, but almost everything on 'Kezia' was Drop-Db and I have no clue about 'A Calculated Use of Sound'

Edit : Sorry if that came off as pretentious, I just remember looking up as much as I could when I got REALLY into them a while back

Murmel · 05-23-2010, 06:31 PM

What the?

Nightwish are so not Drop C... They can't be. Now I don't know any Nightwish songs but everytime I jam to them, the lowest they go is D.

13point9 · 05-23-2010, 06:40 PM

SYL is open C Maj so with the low G its G, C, G, C, G, C, E

Devin now uses open B for the Devin Townsend Project so presume his 7 starts on F?

Joose · 05-23-2010, 10:49 PM

The little project I'm doing with Eric Ellis is gonna be like a djenty Deftones/Soilwork type thing.

We'll be using:

Viper 407 in Drop G
SC607b in Standard
SC607b in EAEADGB
SC608b in DADADGBE

It's gonna be fun.

sh4z · 05-25-2010, 01:22 AM

I did not know that dragonforce use 8 strings.. that is news to me. apparently it is only for one song.

shattered · 05-25-2010, 05:28 AM

A standard 7 string:
Hypocrisy only in studio on Catch 22 V 2.0.08 (not the full album I think) and Osculum Obscenum

Larcher · 05-31-2010, 08:11 PM

Between the Buried and Me uses standard C# 6 strings

Yeah, there's no way. Every Nightwish song I've looked up has been in standard.

This also isn't true. Some of the songs off "Once" are in Drop C, such as "Wish I Had An Angel" and "Dead Gardens" - they're few and far between but they are there. Most of it is Standard tuning though.

MFB · 06-03-2010, 12:56 AM

Sonic Youth - GEDBAG (high to low) & GGDDGG

Really ....ed up tuning I've never heard of anyone else using but god damn if it doesnt work for them.

Stevecon · 06-04-2010, 09:03 PM

I've been messing around with BDADGBE all day. So much fun trying to write djenty/deftonesy stuff with it.

Opeth666 · 06-06-2010, 01:36 PM

what tuning does Through The Eyes Of The Dead use?

Johnboy_Ice · 06-14-2010, 08:39 AM

some bands I listen to that I didn't see on there:
Parkway Drive (Aussie Metal Core) - Dropped B
Protest the Hero (mathcore) - Eb standard, a few songs (e.g. divine suicide of K, heretics and killers) are in Dropped C#
Asking Alexandria (UK Metalcore/Techno) - Dropped D

So is that G below seven string B?

Turns out that was actually a bullshit tuning I found, althought they may have used it but it wasn't from what I was thinking (Teen Age Riot).

Some of the tunings they've used

E-B-G-D-G-E (actual Teen Age Riot tuning)
D-E-G-D-E-G (Tunic)
G-G-D-D-G-G (usually the rhythm guitarist uses this)
B-E-F#-F#-F#-F# (Kool Thing)

As you can see, really ....ed up shit and people have reported them bringing up to 50 guitars to shows!

AlucardXIX · 06-17-2010, 01:05 AM

I've been working out "Dehumanization" by Whitechapel and it has to be in EAEADGBE on 8 string if you want to play it correctly. Plus watching their studio video, they play the low breakdown's tritone chords as you would in drop A. I could be wrong, but it makes a lot of sense to play it that way.

cypher858 · 06-29-2010, 10:03 PM

really under appreciated band i think
Within the Ruins:
Drop Ab / G#
G# D# G# C# F A#

7thdimension · 07-01-2010, 12:27 PM

i agree, within the ruins are talented as shit, and write some catchy ass ....ing riffs. with all that crazy syncopation, its like august burns red on crack speed and 5 hour energy shots.

josh pelican · 07-10-2010, 08:15 PM

I am lead to believe Septicflesh's "Communion" is the same tuning as the other albums.

walleye · 07-10-2010, 11:56 PM

when has metallica ever used a 7 string?
