F#DGCFAD trashy shredding with additude

Seedawakener · 02-18-2007, 09:27 AM

Hellraiser: A-standard
007 blackjack: B-standard

I dont really like changing to weird tunings because Im so used to the tuning I use and that would fuck my mind up.

7-String: G#C#F#BEG#C# (below B standard)
6-String: ADGCEA (above E standard, using Garry Goodman's .005 for the high A)

I've done A LOT of tunings, probably easily more than 20. I even wrote and recorded a song in F#BEBEG#C# (I used the EBE strings to do a nice section alternating between sus2 and minor chords).

Jackson Kelly 6: C# F# B E G# C#
ESP M207: G# C# F# B E G# C#

With my band (and six strings), D standard, Drop B, or Eb Standard.
This band isnt Genocide btw. In Genocide we use either Eb, Bb or Drop A
We are switching over to sevens soon (savin for the gear) to standardize our tuning to my all time favorite (and what my seven is in) Bb standard.
My Jackson DXMG i keep in Eb standard.
My seven string acoustic i vary from open G (D at the bottom) for slide stuff and B flat. I occasionally retune the low string to something random for specific songs (only on the acoustic, its a pain to do that thumb-chording for me as i have tiny hands)

UV: B standard

I use a few different tunings for my 6's, which i hardly play...My 7's all the same tuning.

All 7's tuned too ADGCFAD
6's: DGCFAD, D#G#C#F#A#D#, C#G#C#F#A#D#, CGCFAD, ADGFAD (I know, its odd, but it makes tremelo chords easier to form and yeh...don't ask lol)

Buzz762 · 02-19-2007, 04:18 AM

Mostly: ADADGAD
