what's your guitar tuned to?
 
I never really cared about tunings before.. so, I've basically been tuning to "whatever sounds cool" for the past few years.. lately, though, I've decided to experiment with other kinds of tunings and I've devised my favorite tuning to play in.. it's tuned half Drop-D tuning (because it's so stupidly fun to play!) and half of what Lee is tuned to in songs like Bull in the Heather, so it's..

Standard.

I sometimes like a dropped D tuning (I use several) or open G.

Lately I've been playing a lot in standard.
If I like to play noisey stuff I just twist the tunings around.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 06.21.2007 02:57 PM

I posted this in another thread:
My latest find is D-A-D-F#-C#-E(L TO H)

Usually standard, but sometimes I like a bit of:

D-A-A-A-A-E

Cardinal Rob 06.21.2007 03:24 PM

Usually standard or tuned down a half step all the way (Smashing Pumpkins tuning), and the Teisco is usually in a SY tuning

StevOK 06.21.2007 03:37 PM

I'm in standard now, I used to play in standard C (two whole steps down).
I'm trying to figure a way to play "Do You Believe In Rapture?" without having to restring my guitar.

el duderino 06.21.2007 05:30 PM

B F B E G# C B

Basically a seven string tuned like a six string in drop D, but the highest string one step below the second highest

Everyneurotic 06.21.2007 05:58 PM

standard
bffd#ac (i'm not crazy about this one)
c#ecefd

or the monosodic tuning:

ead(fucked up)(fucked up)(fucked up); basically it's standard tuning with the top three strings tuned randomly

ondskan 06.21.2007 05:58 PM

Strat: Mostly standard, sometimes CGDGCD
Les Paul '76: C F# A# D# G C
Tele: D A D G B E

neptuneg 06.21.2007 06:20 PM

CCEBGD

Norma J 06.21.2007 06:46 PM

Standard.

I've messed with alot of tunings over the years but these days I prefer to use standard tuning. It's more challenging.
