Try this tuning, it’s worth the 5 minutes it takes to re-tune.
DADGDG
It’s fun, you can do some seriously cool things with it. It’s a combination of Drop D and Open G.
Looks like a good one. A step away from DADGAD which is a common tuning for Celtic music.
Done right, it should only take less than a minute to retune the one you suggested! You already have a “D”, so you play the D and what WAS the low E at the same time, retune the low E listening for “beats” to tell you once you’ve got the right note.
Repeat for the high D (what WAS the B). Same trick for the G. You already have a “G” so you use that one to retune what WAS the high E.
Mere moments.

check out Fripp’s standard tuning. It’s awesome.
New standard tuning (NST) is an alternative tuning for the guitar that approximates all-fifths tuning. The guitar's strings are assigned the notes C2-G2-D3-A3-E4-G4 (from lowest to highest); the five lowest open strings are each tuned to an interval of a perfect fifth {(C,G),(G,D),(D,A),(A,E)}; the two highest strings are a minor third apart (E,G).
All-fifths tuning is typically used for mandolins, cellos, violas, and violins. On a guitar, tuning the strings in fifths would mean the first stri...
I tune to B for Carcass songs…Bill Steer is fun to watch live.
I also tuned to Drop A once…Too much…lol
The lowest I’ve gone is Drop C. I cant go any lower otherwise the buzzing annoys me.
SO, went to a music store, And Played a Jackson Rhoads V to test it out…It played so beautifully…It’s shape and tone were great for a thrashy black metal style playing…SO awesome! and it was only $300…Darn…

Someone was selling a genuine Jackson Rhoads V for $300? I probably would have bought it on the spot if I had been there.
I know, the other was for 350, they were having a clearance blow out sale…I was enjoying playing it so much. Sounded smexy as could be.
i found this vid and thought it was pretty cool so yeah.
Songsterr.com offers what ultimate-guitar.com calls a “pro tab”, where you see the tabs as the song plays through, for free.
Cool, I like playing with backing tracks.
Learning some slam / Brutal Death metal songs…Takes a bit…lol
I have a epiphone special flametop edition it only came out for a short time i also have a raven amp, a rg38 and digitech whammy pedal
When I’m trying to write a song, I think that everything just doesn’t sound right, but everyone else is like, “OMG, that’s amazing!”.
I’m working on songs from Two Door Cinema Club.
