      @shubniggurath6464 13 днів тому +21

      @@shubniggurath6464 drop C is where my love for guitar began, most of the bands I listen(ed) to play in this tuning. Drop A is the drop C of 7 string because most of the bands I enjoy that play 7 strings use drop A. So that’s where my heart is and what I prefer to play and write in for 7 string.

    Jinjer - various songs, but I guess if I have to pick one, then Pisces
    same for Mastodon, but I'll pick Mother Puncher
    Coheed and Cambria - Gravity's Union (although technically it was recorded on an 8 string, it's easily done in Drop A bc A is the lowest note used.)
    Also, I didn't ever feel like tuning my 7 string down on all strings, so I would play KoRn songs that were in A standard in Drop A. I have a feeling many people did that.

    My favourite drop A riff will probably be reincarnate by Motionless in White, partly because it was the first riff I ever knowingly heard in that tuning. Technically it's more the drop d of 7 string as your tuning the lowest string down a whole step from standard tuning and nothing else; whereas there is extra step whole with drop c.
