Rob scallon got me into this tuning, then trying to learn never meant. Harmonics sound so good. Any math rock band suggestions? I’ve only dabbled in the genre from Midwest bands.
Late af and kind of a pointless comment but I just found this video and noticed the riff sounds really similar to one of our demos ua-cam.com/video/wC_OR4fPQAM/v-deo.htmlsi=XOvG_6FW5RNLYyfp If you want a “full version” Just a demo so not very well made but it’s whatever
I use a tuning that consists of alternating minor and major 3rds, which makes a F#-11 chord. (F#-A-C#-E-G#-B). Learning chords and scales is very easy, and it opens up a lot of possibilities with natural harmonics. I have a dedicated guitar setup just for this.
The song that got me into this tuning was The Bones of Baby Dolls by Acid Bath. That song and majority of the songs off of Songs for the Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age. Good shit fr 👍
Yea a guy who has a serious hard on for hendrix (ain't dissing hendrix he was an absolutely phenomenal guitar player) ain't gonna have a clue of lower tunings. Try down another octave, then it's getting close 🤣
DADFCE is gonna give you lots of "extended chords" if you use the regular major/minor shapes we're used to in standard. One of my favorite alt tunings is due to Yvette Young, of the band Covet, which is FACGBE, or open Fmaj9. The top 3 strings become triads, obviously, and then the 3 strings naturally lend themselves to extension notes.
New Standard Tuning, aka Guitar Craft tuning. It simulates all-fifths and was developed by prog rock legend Robert Fripp, guitarist of King Crimson and also did the guitar parts for Heroes by David Bowie, among many, many more things.
SONIC YOUTH taught me EVERYTHING I kno about alternate tunings. Octaves and unison strings! I'll def have to scope that 1st one out in this video though!
I use to have my electrics tuned so different most people hated playing mine because they didn’t know how to play with said tuning, but some of the riffs I could play and sounds I could put out was just jaw dropping. Kinda why I love guitar because there’s so much you can do that’s so unique.
so much respect for dropping a Gretsch down to B. I had an electromatic with a bigsby that I tuned down to B. had to use some pretty heavy strings to keep it stable
A similar modal tuning, I actually really like BEBEBE. Nick Drake used that tuning a lot. It feels very limiting at first, but it’s super fun to just riff on the first two strings as you would in standard and combine the open strings for a bigger sound.
DADFCE is pretty close to the tuning used by Opeth on "Harlequin Forest" -- but second string is tuned down to A rather than up to C, though. This is mostly for the power chord in the first riff which is played open on the 2nd and 3rd string, swiping back up to come at the bottom strings. It adds a neat little bit of texture.
I remember I stumbled upon DADFCE one day randomly while trying to tune to DADGAD and I fell in love with it I don’t mess with it too often but it’s real pretty
Some other good alt tunings include but are not limited to: open g, dadgad, open f, open d, open e, drop c#, and many more. If you play stones riffs or acoustic zeppelin riffs like I do, you’ll encounter these on a lot of their songs
Tried tuning to baritone standard, ended up breaking my hello kitty squire
Sorry that must suck
HOW
the strings? or the guitar. because i don’t know how the fuck that can break a guitat
You broke the guitar by losing tension of the strings? Man, how...
How is spaghetti tension strings breaking a guitar?
F A C G C E is one of my favorites of all time. classic math rock tuning
C# G# C# F A# D# is another great one, drop C# with a 1/2 step flat 3rd string
dont forget DAEAC#E
WAS JUST ABOUT TO DROP THIS ONE LOL

“Baritone standard is one of the lowest-possible tunings on a guitar”
Me: *laughs in 9-string*
Even on a 6 string you can gow lower without ridiculous gauge strings
that baritone he is using can go to some double C#1 or even some Ab0

@@geetarplayer3611double drop D is just 1 octave lower or so, if a bass is 1 octave lower than a guitar 4 octaves would be unhearable basically
bongripper doing f standard on a 6 string
DADGAD is one of my personal favorites.
And then hit a big open chord fretting 2nd fret on G string (A Note).
Tons of octave vibes in that one.
I play around in that tuning because of Pink Floyd’s poles apart song. To me it sounds like wind chimes and you can get some beautiful sounds
isn't that open g
Celtic tuning. Outstanding.
@@easyethanol6611 no
Dadgad is the opeth tuning isnt it?
I think that riff in baritone standard needs to be a full song 😢🖤

The "dad face" tuning gives u an Open Dm9 in an uncommon voicing for guitar , that sounds awesome btw

CGCFCE is my go to alternate tuning for acoustic stuff. It's absolutely stunning, and Nick Drake used it a lot
Got one Guitar that I keep in that tuning all the time, it‘s just the best
nick drake is so underrated he had such a unique play style
I use cgcfgc. It's fun
I recently came across C# standard, and I'm obsessed. I love hearing regular chords performed in a low register like that.
God bless
Best tuning for everything. New wave to death metal
The song that got me into this tuning was The Bones of Baby Dolls by Acid Bath. That song and majority of the songs off of Songs for the Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age. Good shit fr 👍
Drop C# is my favorite tuning, C# standard is a good one though!
Sabbath and Bolt Thrower play in c#
Opeth used a similar tuning to "DADFCE"
They used "DADFAE" on Ghost Reveries and it sounds HAUNTING
"B standard is one of the lowest tunings possible" 💀💀💀

@@GFGRRD What gauge are your strings?
B tuning is used a lot in melodic death metal (Amon Amarth, At the gates etc.)
He doesn't know that exists LOL
Carcass and Cryptopsy
Hypocrisy too. But i guess the kid in the video never heard of anything other than rock. He seems kinda pretentious doesn’t he?
@@coomerdark6524glad there are other people that feel the same way about this guy.
@@ardatukenmez2890 Hendrix and SRV are cool and all but he acts like they're the only guitarists that exists sometimes LOL.
D Standard (Whole Step Down) is my favorite. Works well even on my shorter scale guitar and sounds great even on lights!
It's what I play I too. I also like c# standard on my bass sounds warm and full
Currently like to play my guitar in (D-A-E-A-C#-E) tuning, lot of midwest emo play in this tuning
my favorite tuning of all time, half step down from this is great too
Have you tried EAeG#Be used in the summer ends
Will Paquin needs more love man
Open C is such a great tuning that Devin Townsend primarily uses
That baritone song you played was incrediblr
I have my main 4-string bass tuned to B Standard, it's the swiss knife of bass tunings, it can literally do anything
Dude just get a 5 string. It does the exact same thing plus one more
Cant do 90% of metal so i wouldn't say "can do literally anything" maybe "literally anything created before 1970"
The band dystopia tuned the 6dtrimg guitars and 4steing bass down to a stanrdard 😂
Mike Mushok from Staind uses a baritone and his own tuning it’s actually one of the if not heaviest tunings there is it’s G# D# A# C# F# A#
Guy forgot that half of every metal bands plays in Drop A or lower
CGCEGD also goes really well. I found the tuning through periphery’s song scarlet.

C# standard is also underrated
THANK YOU, THATS MY GO-TO TUNING AND I NEVER HEAR PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IT
It works for me as well, especially for bass guitar.
I like it in my bass sounds warm and full
I just got a new stratocaster yesterday
Congrats brother
all these tunings are UNREAL 😱 thank you sm for sharing!
Can’t believe I found an official UA-cam comment with so few likes. 🤔
@@ItsXosh they comment a lot more than they used to it seems and under pretty obscure videos

DROP B AND A GOATS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤟🤟🤟
I like CGCGBE tuning an Alex G classic and every time I hear it I am teleported back to high school
I don’t often hear B standard talked about like this. I just love it for metal
Dadface sounds like a Built to Spill track
Open G is one of my go-tos but a buddy of mine introduced me to a style called Orkney or Sawmill tuning (C#G#D#G#CD#) very twinkly, very Midwest emo
consider dropping that c to an a#
D Standard and A Standard have been my primary tunings for a few years now and I love it
Eb standard and baritone standard are the greatest two guitar tunings ever
Clean vs dirty tone test
this guy has no idea how to make a dirty tone
Lowest possible tunings? Dude Andrew Baina plays in drop E on the regular 🤣
*Lowest possible tuning if you aren't into metal.
Also I'm pretty sure this guy does stuff like this to get comments, so, ya know.
@@plantain.1739 why does genre have to do with it? Most of the beautiful sounding clean sections I've written as of late have been in A standard
UA-cam made me review your comment lol. 5 stars!
he said "one of the lowest"....
@@SoggyBacco on a normal guitar, we're not talking about 7 strings
Midwest emo with Baritone standard, unironically really good
"such a strange sequence of notes"
literally just a dm9
No way this dude just said “Baritone Standard” 💀
Now get an 8 string and play double drop d
Dude has 29.75" baritone, that thing will go that low and lower, eric from loathe has one and takes it down to double drop c#
I play in A standard on my 27" baritone. You can go much lower drop C# 🤣
“Lowest possible tunings on guitar”
Meshuggah: “hold my beer”
Never heard of baritone standard but as soon as you played through the open tuning, I thought “Huh… that sounds like Leadbelly.”

Who’s that
Hadn’t heard of these two. Eager to try. Thanks for posting!

unbearable rich kid smirk, yuuck
I really love that open tuning

Sounds magical
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS!!!
I keep one of my guitars in C standard since I'm a bit of a Queens of the Stone Age fan, it's quite fun

baritone sounds sooo good tho
Thanks for bringing value
DADGAD is one I like to fuck around with from time to time.
FACGCE, a classic
That last riff was Dope 'af
That jam you were playing in baritone standard was so good
DADFCE sounds really interesting. I’ve tried DADGAD after learning that is used on Barton Hollow (The Civil Wars) - another baritone setup!
Open tunings I like a lot, fun for playing around with a slide. Open E is one of my favorites, makes me feel like I'm talking to angels.
Two of my favorite alt tunings
BEADF#B is one of my favorites tunes for guitars
More of these!
bro i love this guy 🙌🏾
Open c minor low is a sick tuning too (CGCD#Gc)
I raise you the tuning the Goo Goo Dolls used for Iris. BDDDDD
Drop c and drop c# are my two personal favorites
love to hear everlong on baritone tuning
that DADFCE riff is amazing, could fit in alot of math rock.
that first riff needs to be a midwest emo song
I’m not well versed in chord instruments but this man is pulling me to the dark side
so much respect for dropping a Gretsch down to B. I had an electromatic with a bigsby that I tuned down to B. had to use some pretty heavy strings to keep it stable
DADFAE. Is a lovely tuning to play with too. Opeth use it a lot for that minor add 9 vibe.
Tell me you've only learned guitar through lessons without telling me you've only learnt guitar through lessons
Used DADADD a lot in High School. Just fun and easy to improvise tunes over

THANK YOU MIKEY NOW I KNOW HOW TO WRITE AMAZING SONGS THANK YOU 🙏 🎉
I mainly use Drop C# for most songs I write, but lately, I've been in Drop D, Eb, and D as well. I also love CGDGBD (I think that's it) and DAEFCE
That dadface riff was insanely good
You should do more of these!
It's a coincidence that I see this because yesterday I tuned my guitar to baritone standard for the first time for a type o negative song
He’s so animated when he talk lol with the eyebrows and the hand movement lol
Baritone tuning sounds like something that would come out of an alter bridge album
Some other good alt tunings include but are not limited to: open g, dadgad, open f, open d, open e, drop c#, and many more. If you play stones riffs or acoustic zeppelin riffs like I do, you’ll encounter these on a lot of their songs
I love open tunings like open e and g
i liked the video for the Hendrix T and poster. I feel ya 👊
Double Drop D 8 strings be like “ am I nothing to you”
Bruh, do my favorite E E E E B E please. Don't sleep on Steven stills.❤
so looking forward to trying these!
