Alt Tunings & Fun Chord Time

[BitchPudding]

I CAST REVIVE.

Really liking this tuning on bass. A variation of cello tuning: E-G-D-A.

[spacelordmother]

Still really enjoying having my frankenstang (24") tuned CGCGAC. There's a bunch of really great, gazey chords in there!

[SecretMachine]

Tune down your B-string to A. Keep everything else in standard.
LOVELLLLLY.

[xrleroyx]

F-A-G-D-A-D
Affectionately known as FAG DAD. It's gross and you'll love it.

Also NST (C-G-D-A-E-G)

[strat87]

I haven't gotten too crazy with tunings. I stay in Eb for the most part, but go to double drop Db for some stuff. I've also messed around with DADABE for some Pavement stuff but thats about it

[WeHuntKings]

Tune down your B-string to A. Keep everything else in standard.
LOVELLLLLY.

My band has done this a few times. You can get some really great textures out of that tuning.

[Ghost Hip]

Tune down your B-string to A. Keep everything else in standard.
LOVELLLLLY.

Dude, I remember playing with this tuning because of Muzzle by the pumpkins. I wrote like four songs in one day it was the best.

[MrNovember]

I just tuned to Aen Standard for the first time.....so damned good!
I'm running it through RM-1N > Secret Destroyer > Mini > Fuck > Ghost Echo
MASSIVE!
I've already written like 4 songs that I think are actually just Ronald Raygun songs

[BoatRich]

Can someone give me good droney tunings I can still play heavy shit in? I'm starting a project that is heavily influenced by post rock and drone, but also hardcore, so I want to be able to riff but still create massive textures and such. I'm not having a ton of luck in standard/half step down which i normally play in.

I'm pretty sure most people are going to recommend starting with Aen Standard - DADAAE
It sounds like:

(I actually have no idea if Aen is actually tuned to Aen standard here but I assume he is)

[WeHuntKings]

Also, DADGAD is very good at this too. But you probably already knew that.

How this is accomplished:

Go ahead
ASK ME IF I GIVE A FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

[MrNovember]

Achtane, I absolutely love your guitars. Seriously though, what gauge is that string? It looks massive

[Chankgeez]

It looks massive

[Achtane]

I think it's .132, it used to be on the bowed part of my bassVI. They're all Chromes taken randomly from other guitars.
