ivan40 wrote on Tue, 14 February 2006 10:33 | ||
Well, that's CRAZY~!! It would interesting though. It's an E flat Major with an A flat on the Bass. It's almost the biggest voicing you can play on a guitar as far as spreading the tones out. Cool |

It makes no difference to me what the tuning is as long as It wont break my Git er"" |

We have a Metal band in this week that tunes to drop C. Whenever I pick up one of their guitars it just feels wrong to me. Sounds pretty heavy though. |

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 |

7 string kits are great for this stuff without having to adjust yer geetar... and you know you're gonna need that extra high E at some point edit: how did i miss the mooninites until now?? |
starscream2010 wrote on Wed, 22 February 2006 14:46 |
I'm down... I just want to make sure that I'm tuning the thing the 'right way'... so should the last 4 strings (D,G,B & e) be tuned down as opposed to up? |

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. |

floodstage wrote on Sun, 26 February 2006 17:12 |
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. |

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# -Garret |

Tried the tuning out. Not my favorite, but I can make it work. Let's get some drums! Let's rock! |
garretg wrote on Sun, 26 February 2006 20:20 | ||
Yah, I'm not used to completely nutty tunings like this one (usually I just play standard or simple drop tunings), so I'm playing by ear even more than usual. But I found this tuning does some nifty things for simple shapes, and the drones are useful. The C on the bottom is cool, makes everything I play (on acoustic) sound like the band Morphine for some reason. Dark and bluesy. |

keep checking here. aside from me being lazy, PSW is sorting out some bandwidth issues and has pulled down my FTP server for a bit. it's reported to be back online shortly. stand by, i'll get it done very soon. |
max cooper wrote on Sat, 25 February 2006 15:05 | ||
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. |

Okay, I'm a music therory moron. I've tried many times to learn it but lets be honest therory is not a lot of fun. I also don't get to use it so I lose what I have learned pretty quick. So then, with this tuning or any other alternate tunings what do you usually do with the bass? Do you keep it standard since most don't use bass chords in their songs? Also any suggestions on ways to find workable fingering for chords and such in these types of tunings? Is it basically just finding the notes that make up a given chord and then seeing if the fingering will work? Am I just really overthinking some of this? |

s fvck and low & heavy and in tune as well, so I think everyone sorted out the tuning issue... It took me a long time to find non-wound Gstrings (26) for my 13s...had to buy 'em in bulk from juststrings.com which was out of stock for months...never found them in a normal set of strings, where do you guys get 'em? |

I'm running OSX with ProTools v.6.4.1 software. It works well for me. When the project ends, I will disclose more about the player and the project these tracks were recorded for. I hope to post the original song these are from as well. |

Well, I think there's a camp of engineers that really likes the ultra roomy sound, throw a sm58 up in the corner of the room and hey, that's the sound. I worked with a drummer who was hysterical, indeed he wanted the drum mix to be 90% the hallway mic. And I wanted to throw out that track, cause it was just a mash of confused reverberations. I love the sound of a really dry, unnatural, close miked kit... 70s pop, steely dan, etc... course I also love motown drum sounds and phil spector, so ack maybe I do't know what I really like. heh. -G |

If I were to release my tune as is (with these drum tracks), what would I think appropriate? Honestly, I'd probably figure out who the drummer is, and I'd offer a credit (drumming on track #7 by john doe) and a retroactive studio session fee. |

i'd say that technically, viking gained permission from the artist (who he and i both know) for this whole thing to happen. if you were to release the track ona commercial release, i'm not sure anything would happen as you had permission to use the tracks. would you be a super big A-hole for doing such a thing........YES. i think it comes down to how you choose to treat people. |
