i'm waiting for more people to chime in.  there is little point going with craig's tuning if every one is going to hate it!



heres a vote against it. I've got 12s on a Les Paul. Its sloppy and doesnt feel good. If we must use this at least let us transpose it up if we want.

Before chucking craig's tuning, how about folks try my variation... it's the same notes, just rearranged a bit.  And it's a piece of cake to set up.

Yeah, it's not gonna the greatest on a les paul. I forgot about shorter scale lengths. boo.

Why don't we allow transposing? We'll still be confined to specific intervals, so the exercise won't really loose any substance or validity or whatever.

But hey, if most people don't like it, that's cool with me. It was just a suggestion. I enjoy pretty much anything that's not standard tuning, so this whole deal is a treat for me.

So what's the tuning going to be?

stop being a bunch of cry babies.  we already agreed that if you can't hang, you can dial it up a step.  that will get you D on your low E string.

don't you guys listen to kyuss?

that's A




One night I was at a Kyuss gig at the Whiskey and they were tuning by ear (stage volume, natch!) and it was pretty funny 'cause they got to the lowest string and they weren't anywhere near in tune but as soon as it was within a whole step, they launched into the first song.

Those of us who use .013's will probably have an easier time with the prescribed tuning.

D# A# G# D# G C

that's low E to high e


(Sorry I'm late, been out of town)

Here we go again.  Are you sure that isn't high to low?  
(and I mean in pitch, not in relation to the floor)

(I had a friend who calls the high (pitch) E,  the Low E, because it's closest to the floor (thus low) and it took FOREVER for us to  figure out why we couldn't communicate)

Using the D# A# G# D# G C tuning assuming D# is lowest pitch string, the strings that are normally D & G strings will be stretched super tight (6 or more 1/2 steps).

Reversing that layout would put the D & G strings within one 1/2 step of standard tuning.

Please clarify once again.

Hi all. I guess J has chosen the tuning? cool with me. I plan on setting up a giter' just for this purpose. I'll get my 79 Hamer out!! It sounds pretty cool. It needs some love but it's playable..

Sorry I'm sorta late.. I'm still in. Should be fun.

I wasn't gonna ask, but I'm glad you did. Smile

I believe I proposed the altered tuning that J chose... but he had it backwards from how I'm using it.

From low pitch to high pitch, C G D# G# A# D#

E drops down two steps to C
A drops down one step to G
D goes up a half step to D#
G goes up a half step to G#
B goes down a half step to A#
E goes down a half step to D#

You think the drums'll be in 4/4?

Anything's cool with me, but just wondering.

Now you've got me wondering.

Is the fattest string the D# or the C ?  Not to beat this dead horse anymore, but that's a lot of stretching from D to G#. Very Happy

This makes sense.  
Tried the tuning out.  
Not my favorite, but I can make it work.
Let's get some drums!

From my read on the rules, you can edit the drums all you want, so if you want them in 4, or 7, or 13, you can make them that way no matter what they are originally.
