No, you aren't being stupid. It's just that a lot of people in Finland use H instead of B, it's an old system that was originally used in Germany at the dawn of time. So instead of it being A A#/Bb B C etc. it's A A#/B H C etc.
The dinosaurs still alive insist on using this crazy system so it's what we have to use when we study music theory in Finland.

Stam1na just accepted my friend request on myspace! *swoon*

Not a huge korn fan, but I'm pretty sure everything after ADIDAS was tuned to A standard.

Isn't Bleed the Fifth in A standard as well?

[halsinden]

right, that being the case though, and deeply cool for everyone explaining that it does happen…

A-D-A-D-G-H-E

what the hell is that in normal, non-faddy “ooh look at us, we invented beer and confusion” teutonic ridiculousness?

and, being the dunce that i am, is it a dropped tuning (as in being able to play a power chord with 1 straight finger) then normal with all the rest? so basically it’s not what i was saying; that i have a guitar tuned in D standard with an additional A as a lower string?

I think Mushroomhead plays in A.

thats basically drop-D tuning (D-A-D-G-B-E) but with the B tuned down to A, intresting idea for a tuning ive never actually seen it used before, so basically you can do the single finger powere chords on the 6th string but normal power chords on the others..

gotcha. i can see the niftiness of it to a degree but i generally dislike dropped tunings as i only just got my head around managing the theory for normal tunings.

i’m now in a conundrum. i badly want to play along to stam1na, i haven’t felt this enthralled by a band in quite some time. right now i only have 1 7 string, although the custom from roter may be done soon. in general, i’ll be playing in A then D standard and i don’t want to keep having to set the damn guitar up for each act i write with.

hmm

[Mr. S]

i guess you could always find a cheap fixed bridge 7 until your custom is done? but alas i guess that is extra expenditure that might not be possible...
