harrison 1 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 all the time or just when youre #### around? that would be a bitch to play normal chords in , no? its a pretty common one for me lately, i came up with it to play -----5------ -----5------ -----5------ -----3------ -----x------ -----4------ that fingering and its movable up and down the neck, power chords on the a string are still normal. but forget about open chords Quote Link to post Share on other sites

feedbackismyfriend 37 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I use standard tuning because it's the most versatile tuning and it's what I'm used. I'll use Drop D if I absolutely can't play a song in standard tuning, however whenever it's possible I'll transpose Drop D songs to Standard (to my ears strings with more tension on them sound better so I try and avoid dropping the tuning). I once played a song in Drop C, I remember being frustrated at trying to jam without retuning after I finished the song and being totally lost . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nirvana23freak 1 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 i dont think its the most versatile at all. drop d is versatile. you can get two lower notes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mustang-Pete 3 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I use standard and drop D mostly, and I often have my acoustic tuned to DADGAD, just cause it's awesome. I find DADGAD is better for writing on than standard for some reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tragictravisty 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 standard is definitely the most versatile common tuning. barre chords are easier in standard than drop D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nero 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Two slide tunings I use: D A D f# a d (like drop D but kicks a** with slide) E A C# e a c# (emulates a 12-string in some respects, especially if you pluck octaves) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tragictravisty 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 that first ones open D maj, and the second ones open E maj Quote Link to post Share on other sites
