[soren a]

what is your favourite tuning Personally Mine is gotta be d standard

 

[idssdi]

For me it is drop d or E standard

 

[Jen Hapke]

I love Drop D.
Has anyone here experimented with open tunings???

 

[idssdi]

I have when I wanted to learn bron y aur stomp(didn’t learn it in the end) and slide guitar(also didnt really happen) maybe i should get an afoordable western guitar somewhere and play some delta blues and try to learn bron y-aur stomp

 

[Matt Wildman]

I like it tuned down half a step. But I use drop D and standard tuning just as much. If some of you guys like Celtic folk music yiu should try DADGAD that’s a fun tuning as well

 

[idssdi]

Dadgad reminds me of Led Zeppelin

 

[Elton Breaux]

Drop d is my favorite but drop c is a very close 2nd because of bullet for my valentine

 

[Sven Barnitzki]

Drop D and C-Standard on 6-String
B Standard on 7-String

D standard. On a 24 fret guitar you dont really need those last two notes IMO, and I personally love the full chord over a finger, however, I also do drop C strictly for the bassy breakdowns. I’ve always played D standard tho, made it easy to learn motley crue. I learned more crue over Avenged as obviously it was easier to learn and I played to the carnival of sins DVD, so it was always a riot. But ideally D standard allowed for some crue and Avenged without retuning.
I like half step down too ala alice in chains but after a while I just learned to play all my stuff on one tuning so I picked the lowest. And Capo for half step down if needed.

Drop D, since it’s the most essential metal tuning. Also a fan of C#, and I find the standard tuning to be very interesting. Bands like Sylosis prove that you can be heavy af even with a standard tuning.

 

[Josh Wright]

E standard, drop d, or c standard. I played around with c standard when attempting to play some alestorm.

 

[Dhuvy Mathan]

Drop D for sure

 

[Richard O'connor]

i like half step down personally. i also like to use alternate tunings to help creativity. i like to use DADADD – DADGAD or any number of open tunings.

 

[Noah Berends]

Drop D and Drop B.

 

[Dominik Róg]

Drop D most of the time… But I also use E standard and Drop C# quite often

 

[Lauren Morales]

I like half step down and drop D tuning the best.

 

[Laís Muniz]

Drop D / Drop C#

 

[Israel Stefanello]

I start to play in Drop D and liked but i sometimes like to paly in E

 

[Austin Goodsell]

It depends on my mood, I have 2 electric guitars and 2 (cheap) acoustics. I have my acoustics tuned to standard E, one has steel strings, and the other is my nylon. On my electrics, I have a Yamaha Pacifica W/ tremelo tuned to standard E but sometimes drop D, and my Jackson Rhodes style Flying V, that I usually have it tuned at drop c for heavier sound and “lighter” feel. I will sometimes change up my tuning on my flying v but plan on keeping it the same for now because of the Floyd Rose Tremelo

 

[TheMighty Jambi]

D Standard of course.
