N007D

Post by willow13 »

As some would have seen I was dithering over getting a 7 string last week .... so after getting a $150 fine for driving in a bus lane (fuck you Phil Toss) I said fuck it I need a treat. It came strung with some fat as hell strings so they came off and it put 9-42 on with the a 52 B string

Tried playing with the low B tuning standard tuning and as I thought would be the case I didn't like it (I hate tuned down guitars...yes I know you are thinking why get a 7 string then :rofl: ) so I tuned it up to (if it were a standard 6 string) F# so the thickest string was tuned to C#..which was better but strings were to stiff like that so I decided to tune to E and have a high 7th string (so and high A instead of a low B).

Now that worked great but man it messes with the old brain when hitting what use to be a D chord :rofl: ... so I gave up on that and now it is tuned D E A D G B E because I have a few songs that are in Drop D so it kind of works for that.

Not sure I will be keeping this long term but it is a little bit fun

so here it is

Now that's clever; I could use that.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

its not my tuning and if it works for you but.......
so theres a tone between the top and second string? isnt the point of drop tunings to play 1 finger chugachuga?how does one do that without some miracle muting in the middle? :)
I'm similarly confused with 7's- tuned one i had with a semi-tone on the treble strings as we did a lot of dissonance. BEADGBB#
