I'm starting to use Open-C for a heavier sound.

Low C all the way up to your normal top E? it's all about the range...

aye im a rabid fan of devin townsend and thats his standard tuning so i 1st used it to learn a few songs off terria,eaily in my top 5 records.
its heavy but tonally rich.i keep one of my stunt guitars in it permanent now.

And open tunings rock with a slide ;)

Never heard of Devin Townsend, i'll add him to my 'seek' list.

Nothing's more metal that standard.

Or Drop-D if you want chugchug

I find DADGAD pretty damn awesome.

I had an affair with New Standard Tuning for a long time, and it is very very cool.

I've got different guitars tuned to E, D and C standard (six string guitars), and my 7 goes between B and A... until i get another so i can have one in each :) I rarely use drop tunings- only when i'm playing a song by a band that uses it.

A 440

Open D

Drop D

And every so often double drop D

And Lou Reed's ( D D D D D D) oh yeah!

My Nailbombed Warlock is tuned to drop C# at the moment. I wrote all my songs in drop D, which was fine, until I realised I didn't take endurance into account. We did a few practices of all my D songs and I found that I was struggling to hit the high notes after a while, so now all my songs have been transposed to drop C#. It's only half a step down for the whole tuning but it takes the edge off and I can sing all the high's really comfortably now. Plus it sounds AWESOME! Hehe.

standard E, Open C and standard E with an extra low B (7 string).

[MDV]

Lets see now...

I have 3 guitars in drop B. This is my main tuning. C-Pig, Pig and Monster Miracle Man are in the bridges of these guitars (and cold sweat, 2xIT, 2xUT). They. Fucking. Slay.

The other guitarist in my band likes Drop C, so we play in both and I have 2 guitars in it now (with painkillers and crawlers).

Then theres standard E, drop A, drop A on a seven string, my acoustics in standard D for some reason, and my bass in in drop B.

Why dont you get a 7 string Ibanez?
