Help please!!


Hey all,

I usually tend to write my own stuff but lately ive been buildin' up the riff vocab a bit. I'm looking to find some riffs in D-G-C-F-A-D tuning (whole step down). I know Symphony X have a lota great riffs in that tuning (Set the World On Fire, Sea of Lies, etc...).

I was wondering if you folks can suggest some other riffs for me to throw in the ole' memory bank, stuff in that specific tuning. Any advice is greatly appreciated

I'm Broken isn't Drop D but it's flatter than DGCFAD, about halfway between C# and D.

Hmm...it's possible you guys are right. However every single tab I have calls for drop D for that particular riff. But without getting into a theory discussion...any other suggestions ?
