what a tuning! it's mastodon's tuning just 1 step up (they tune down).

you can play mastodon classics (Iron Tusk, MOTFA etc.)

and you can piss around writing cool riffs

i suggest trying it, and add full distortion for best results!

i used to do a weird tuning on my sg

drop the E to a D, then drop the (now) D and A another whole step.. so that makes for umm.. CGDGBe

sick tuning to fool around with, riff vise.

wow thats really cool! i use an SG for weird tunings too, great guitar :)

with CGDGBe, if you play a doublestop on the 4th and 5th strings, it makes a powerchord :)

awesome :twisted:

Some Soundgarden is in drop B I think ... and Gasoline by Audioslave. It is indeed a mean tuning, and now you have reminded me of it I must go immediately and try it with my new Warpigs :guitar4:

Gasoline by Audioslave.

Awesome Song.

Morello doing what he does best :D

Tom Morello uses that tuning occaisionaly. I posted a crawler clip in that tuning a long time ago.

You can also do Seven Nation Army in that tuning and send your bass player home.

Yeah, it's used on a few Soundgarden songs off Badmotorfinger: Rusty Cage and Holy Water 8)

Audioslave used Drop-B on "The Worm" too and Silverchair used it on "One Way Mule". Class song.

You can also further drop it to a Drop-A like the Foo Fighters song "Stacked Actors". :D

EAEGBE...A great tuning for Barre Chords, puts a new spin on them

Another few cool tunings:

like the drop B one from BLOODMOUTAIN's original post but you also drop the A to G so it ends up: BGDGBE, which is the tuning for Tool's Parabola.

Speaking of Silverchair, ever tried Emotion Sickness Mr. Ed (I think its) something like: Db-Ab-Db-Ab-Db-Db

Straight Drop A you can get Muse's Citizen Erased: AADGBE (Yes I know it's originally on a 7 string but you can get away with it like that)

and finally I used to use a really simple open chord tuning: DADADD

BloodMountain · « **Reply #12 on:** February 06, 2007, 09:36:18 PM »

^ those are great!

just invented my own, which is awesome!

B F# E G B E

you can have all sorts of fun!!!! sounds very sludge/grind metal like.

Yeah, it's a right cracker... they have another one for Without You that's something weird too. Actually, that's just DADADD which is the same as Goo Goo Dolls use for "Name".
