What’s is YOUR standard tuning?

[311splawndude]

Drop C is drop D down a whole step.

Yep. We are saying the same thing.

Your D goes to C,
Your A goes to G,
Your D goes to C,
etc

I tune every string to drop B#

 

[Floyd Eye]

Think I'll do like Chris Ballew and just take my SG, put a 2 string bass nut on it and call it a day.

Jerk are you able to figure out how to post your threads in the right sub forum or do we need to make you a sticky-tutorial?

@Monkey Man better get back to your computer you got work to do.

Moved from OTC to main RT sub-forum.

I already gave him a tutorial last week Brother 3.

What ever my Snark clip on tuner tells me

 

[TheGreatGreen]

The chuggingest most metal tuning there is. EEEEEE

Honestly it just depends on the month / year it could be any one of these:
E standard
Eb Standard
Drop D
C Standard

 

[RaceU4her]

I have multiple guitars with everything from standard/dropD down to A, I’ve been playing standard the most but I’ve not played low in a while, time to go back down

 

[WizardAmpIphoneClip]

5 guitars:
E Standard
EB
D Standard
C sharp Standard
B Standard (7 string)

 

[Nashville Riff Co]

E…..
Eb…
D..

Anything lower than that and my ears can’t hear it

 

[Redneckstomp]

Drop C

 

[ners]

Tele = Drop C# - My primary tuning to mix classic rock with hardcore and spaghetti western.

LTD = Standard - General rock I guess, sort of anything that needs humbuckers really.

Jackson = Drop C - Chuggy metal stuff, the Floyd Rose has systematically gone flat across every string so it's technically somewhere between B# and C.

Fender Acoustic = Open C# - Use it for slide, really was using open d but then decided to match my tele tuning better for writing.

Fender Bass = Ehh I fuck with it to match the guitars above

 

[fek]

E standard for the past 5 or so years. I use a Drop pedal to go down to Eb. Now that I think about it, probably will set one guitar to Eb again because the Drop pedal is great, but a guitar in actual Eb does react a bit different.

 

[Hiwatts-n-Gibsons]

E, Eb, D, C#, C, and A. I have one and in a couple cases two guitars set up for each. I run from 10-48 through 15-70 string sets on them dependent on tuning.

I'm fineish with C or C# too, anything lower with a standard scale length just sounds like you're swimming in pitchy mud and everything sounds out of tune

tbh though most alternate and super low tunings are either a crutch for lack of heavy riffs or a lack of creativity

They can work for certain genres certainly, but Jesus just get a 7 string or a mandolin and stop molesting the guitars

Dude I recently bought an 8 string to try and make sense of what the children are listening to these days…..

It was like listening to the aftermath of discounted taco Tuesday

They’re offloading that beef on the cheap for a reason

 

[rottingcorpse]

Not sure. I just start with the A and bang two strings together until they all fall in line. Have not used a tuner in years. Not kidding.

 

[Jack Luminous]

D standard for everything and sometimes drop C if needed.

 

[DISTORT6]

Right now I'm in Eb and Drop Db.
My last two projects were in D Standard and E Standard, so I split the two.

 

[Detroit1973]

D Standard.
