      I noticed that in the six string videos for drop tunings you use .012 to .056 strings. For drop C, Drop B, Drop A# etc. I also notice that in this video your thickest string on the seven string is a .064 which seems like a light gauge for a tuning like drop G. I'm wanting to get my six string set up primarily for Drop B and drop A#. I'm thinking the gauge strings I'm going to use are extra heavy gauge strings (.013 to .060) because I feel like that range of strings would still give me plenty of tension and plenty of tone in those low tunings. Do you have any advice?

      They tuned it on 6 strings with the bottom two strings as octaves. So they'd leave the top 5 in D standard and drop the low D down to G. So it'd be GGCFAD

    Crystal Lake's "Drop G" tuning is actually different and a bit weird. The highest six strings on their 7-strings are tuned to A# standard with the lowest string tuned to G, with some songs having the low string tuned to F, which makes it F standard. Their main tuning is pretty much the equivalent of tuning the low string up a whole step in standard tuning.
    They also go even lower but they're mostly pitch-shifted effects.

I'm not affiliated with the band or anything, but if you see this comment, I hope check them out because I can't stop playing them!
    It's hard to place them, but I'd say FFO (for fans of): Bury The Evidence, A Scent Like Wolves, If I Were You, and The Parallel. Hope that helps anyone! Keep up the great work Nick, always loving the videos!
