Well here it is the first time i've ever tuned below drop C.

This is a test to see if id like the kinda stuff i can do with a 7 string.

Unfortunately i did this with 9s as it was a very spur of the moment thing and my guitar thats for lower tunings has a trem

Also the clicking noise in the intro is because of the strings being too floppy and hitting the frets.

Oh well its just a test

Yup when my replacement tremelno parts come i can start working on this kinda stuff with my baritone so it wont be as bad.

I refuse to put thicker strings on my standard tuned guitar

Sounds decent. I think 90% of my objections would be solved with an appropriate string gauge.

Aye hopefully ill have the other parts for the tremelno friday so i can do it on the RGD that is currently in C# standard with 11s and the tension is about right so its not too far to go to get where it needs to be

The newish DDT strings from DR are my new favs for drop tuning. I like the set with the 60 on the low string for drop C, but in B they still have a good stiffness to them. I liked your clip Tony. I really dig the orchestral supports. Kinda reminded me of a less Scandinavian sounding Insomnium.

I was actually going to pick up a set of the DDT;s but i'll probably just go with some Tite Fits as i play more in standardish tunings than i do dropped ones.

And thankyou for the feedback JacksonRR. It's still very rough around the edges but i plan on working on this a lot with my other guitarist to see where it goes
