Tuning Preference?

Re: Tuning Preference?

I voted standard, but last night I tuned to Eb to I could play Little Wing to my girlfriend, I'd forgotten how much I liked the sound of a Strat in Eb.

I've been enjoying D standard (DGCfad) lately. When I get my refinish project together I'll probably tune it to C though. It will most likely be my go to doom guitar.

Re: Tuning Preference?

I like drop D using a .049 to .051 for the low D then .032,.024,.016,.011,.009 in D'Addario's or Ernie Ball's on my electrics.

Re: Tuning Preference?

I can't remember the last time I played in standard. DGCFAD at the highest, and I don't even play metal. I just can't sing that well:gurmpy:

Re: Tuning Preference?

I played in Eb for a few years and then switched back to A440 because the band I was in at the time used a lot of keyboards which Eb made more difficult. I've thought about tuning back down, but don't really see the point other than to learn a song or two.

I'll also use Drop-D or Drop-C# for a song or two, but I don't really like going lower.
