tuning????

[lambofgod]

also, i tune my seven droped d tuning like a normal six and with the lowest string tuned to a bar chord ontop of that, can anyone tell me the acutal tuning and dose en one else tune like this

i dont quite understand you, but i will try to answer it anyway

the 7 string equivalent of drop D is drop A

This is because standard 7 string tuning is:

B
E
A
D
G
B
e

so, to get a drop D one finger powerchord type setup on a sevenstring, drop the low B down a whole step to A. so its like this:

A
E
A
D
G
B
e

if you tune it like that ^^^, you can play stuff like this:

0-1-2-3
0-1-2-3

instead of

2-3-4-5
0-1-2-3

i hope that helps

no man but thanx for trying ill try to explain better, like say you too the top string off you seven and tuned your guitar to dadgbe, then put the top string back on and tuned it harmonicly to a barchord like 2 finger, i tune like this becuase i love lamb of god and playing there music, my own is much the same style but then when i want to go more brutle i can

So you tune (low to high) G-D-A-D-G-B-e, so you have a 1-finger power chord on the 7th & 6th and the 6th & 5th strings? That's pretty neat to be able to slide around power chords like that. Schecter used to make a 5-string guitar, the "celloblaster," with kind of a baritone-y tonal range where all the strings were tuned perfect 5ths apart instead of 4ths so you could do the same kind of thing on all the strings.

no i have to finger power chord on 7th and six, and one finger power chord on 6th and 5th
