guitar tunings
 
hi everybody, i am new in guitar tunings
everybody talks about dropped d tuning, cause nirvana played many songs in that tuning

so i tune my guitar to
D-A-d-g-h-e
is this correct ?
the second d is the same than the first or ?
looks like i can take D-A-d in one fret to get the barree powerchord?
thanks

You are correct on all of this.....except for the "h".

deflinus 12.05.2010 04:23 PM

play some open tunings. they're great

look up tunings on wikipedia and they'll give you a list

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 12.05.2010 04:31 PM

I've been particularly fond of C A# D# A C C, a tuning I invented two or three years ago.

I also really love open F. C F C F A F. It's used on Led Zeppelin's Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, and it's just a wonderful open tuning. It's nice for slide, and I like to play "Answering Machine" by the Replacements on it. (the best tab out there for which is in open A, but I find it works in the lower key of open F very well too)

The H string has such a bonecrushing timbre.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 12.05.2010 05:11 PM

H is B in some european schools of music, because of the similarity of the letter b to the flat symbol.

flashlight69 12.06.2010 05:51 AM

hmm pretty nice full sound.

i will try to make a cover of sonic youths mote in the tuning on their tab archieves side.

Oh that's interesting. Something new everyday eh?

ink. 12.06.2010 04:08 PM

why do you want to play like nirvana?

nirvana aren't really punk

do you mean 'diy'?

if so, diy your own tuning..

ink. 12.06.2010 04:10 PM

to sound like sonic youth you just need a jag and a groan and to pace yourself for a song which lasts another 3 minutes after people would think it should end.

RanaldoNecro 12.06.2010 04:23 PM

Only on a SY forum would you see an 'H' string.

Timeline of Events
November 1992
After a long tour with Nirvana, Krist goes home to Aberdeen to enjoy what he called "the most amazing Thanksgiving dinner I've had all year."

December 24,1992
Novoselic continues to stay in Aberdeen throughout Christmastime, making an appearance as a drunken Santa at the local shopping mall, and then later celebrating Christmas eve on his roof in the nude.

December 25, 1992
Krist recieves a razorblade and an old newspaper for Christmas, he cried tears of joy.

December 31, 1992 - January 1, 1993
Krist gets extremely drunk and spends the next day regretting getting drunk the night before.

February - May 1993
Novoselic goes on tour once again, this time singing backing vocals on Smells Like Teen Spirit upon Kurt's insistence.

April 20, 1993
Krist starts his own solo project, a 200-song catalogue known as the "Foo Fighters" project. It is unknown what became of all these songs.

June 27, 1993
Krist officially decides to quit Nirvana, claiming Dave Grohl tried to molest him. Grohl stands by his statement that Novoselic consented. Kurt managed to keep this news from becoming public.

July 2, 1993
Krist is reportedly seen at a corner store, purchasing a bag of Dorito's brand tortilla chips, ranch flavored. He signs one fan an autograph, which said "Call me sometime, sugartits." This was the last time anyone saw Krist alive.

July 4, 1993
This is the estimated day of Krist's death. He died sometime within the early morning hours of the day.

July 5, 1993
Krist is found by Eddie Vedder in his Aberdeen apartment, with one foot shoved directly up his mouth and subsequently out of his left ear opening. Someone had obviously stabbed him to death.

July 7, 1993
Upon his request, Krist was cremated and had his ashes placed sporadically into various condiment containers. His favorite song, "(My Girl Wants To) Party All The Time" by Eddie Murphy was playing softly in the background.

July 8, 1993
Kurt and Dave decide that Nirvana is too important to end because of Krist's death, and make the decision to hide Novoselic's death by getting a "replacement" Krist. The replacement, who's real name remains unknown, continues to pretend to be Krist for no reason at all to this very day.

flashlight69 12.07.2010 10:01 AM

so now its interesting :



i wanna tune
i found this tabulature.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_tunings

it says if i put the finger in the 10 fret of my E i get the note D
then i keep the finger holding at the 10 fret and tune it to E on my guitar tuner
then i have D is this right ? ( i talk about the hightest bass side of my guitar )

next i need to replace my A with a D#,(second bass side )
i look at the picture again, wit the finger in the 6 fret and tune it on my guitar tunder to A...
and so on

so tune it to eadgbe with putting the finger in the right frets ( like in the picture shown )

is that correct ?
logical it should be correct but i dont think so .
i tryied for incinerate

i have no idea if this is right
but sounds logical

only on sy gossip would people continue to make fun of an obviously foreign poster using "h" well after it's clarified that H is used for B in some countries

logicalharm 12.07.2010 04:03 PM

I suck so badly at guitar that open tunings save my life. Right now though I think mine is at C#-F#-F#-F# and then the last two are unknown.

I should probably stick to bass

there isnt much else to do here, people don't really post unless it is to spam/troll someone else.

flashlight69 12.07.2010 10:06 PM

I had to do that once when I accidentally put heavy gage strings on there and it nearly bowed the neck. I hear Josh Homme uses Standard C tuning too.
