I'm pretty traditional and stick to standard and Drop D

Drop C is really really fun. Here's one of my favorite licks in it: LINK

D Standard is fun too

Drop D, B, A, and C. I don't think I have a guitar in standard. Also my brother's 7 string is F#, D#, G#, C#, D#, G#, C#. Odd dropped tuning there

That C thing,really reminded me of the way Edge use to play. I tried my best to copy him when I was young,but out of standard tuning.

That may not be so crazy, I am going to revisit this when I sober up in the morning and try that.

I like E-flat, Open E and some of the unique tunings by Rzenick and Page.

I like the open E for trying oldstyle blues stuff,jeez, I wish I could afford the time to experiment with all that I hear..life would be a dream. Some of Reznor's stuff..shite,it's powerful,I'll borrow a bit.

The E-flat, you mean dropping everything 1/2 step?,if not,could you give that particular one?

Either standard or a half a step down for me.

What seven string do you play? And yeah, it is a cool little drop tuning we picked up from John Browne from Monuments.

Sorry man,didn't mean to cause any confusion on that..The next 7 string I play..will be my first,but I can still use the formula to try,might find something new.

There are only the same old notes,for me,getting to loosen some strings up,get a certain sound,being more efficient,with less chance of mistakes,and still get a sound you want,that's everything.

I am not a person that cares about being a great guitar player,or singer,for me,The Song is the STAR. Making it sound good is first priority.

Oh yeah,lots of people do that one.
I dropped down like that, for 1 song that we are mixing in the studio right now. It had a dobro on it,and it really made that shine.

I use drop B a lot. B F# B E G# C# but I also use Dean Markley .012-.056 gauge with tuning that low.

Standard, Drop D, and Open E are my fav's.

And whatever this song is tuned to

I can't remember the tuneing. Second string from the bottom tuned half step down.

P.S.- Not a Puddle of Mud fan just like playing that song

I think that is a DADGAD tuning,but I could damn sure be wrong.
