Two of my favorites: Open C: C G C G C E Drop C: C G D G B E, which keeps the upper four strings on familiar ground, and given a bit more oomph to the bass register

[@theophilusborschtgobbler5163]

soundgarden tunings (pretty noose, burden in my hand / mailman, 4th of july) forgot to cite

[@rosev.7007]

CGCFCD# is better imo just because all you have to do is fret one note differently for a major chord and you've got the extra 4th to give the chord a unique flavor

[@craigdamage]

"Ostrich" tuning is most fun. D-D-D-D-D-D. Some Ds are a bit tight and tense. Some Ds are floppy and loose. With an acoustic you wan't to bend the Hell out of the loose Ds for a cool Indian Sitar sound. On electric you need huge amounts of reverb and a tremolo cranked at maximum volume.

[@themadkraken1912]

I just love drop D for how soft it can make songs. Everlong is a perfect example- there's some beautiful soft, slow and low areas where the D string adds a sort of rumble under the chords. The chorus uses it to get some more bass for the powerchords. Best alternate tuning, by far.

[@mathewhutchins2539]

TheMadKraken2297 drop d just gives the guitar so much more oomf

[@bodabeastgaming7849]

Drop d is mostly all I play of course I’m a metal head but even when I’m just messing around when I pick up the guitar and just start noodling and jamming around drop d is the best and my All time favorite. It’s like best of both worlds can write some heavy ass riffs but also play casually without changing tuning or anything.

Most alternate tunings used by Soundgarden are fun to play around in. Also +1 for baritone guitars, I got an ML1 modern and it changed my world. Such an underappreciated instrument.

[@royalcat10]

Could just use baritone tuning, rather than purchasing a baritone guitar as well, since the *only* difference between a baritone and standard guitar is scale length. A 25.5 in. scale length guitar will handle B standard (BEAD F# B) fairly well, if you beef up the strings a bit. Using .13 gauge strings in B standard, quite literally, will have roughly the same poundage and tension as using .10s in E standard. (I wouldn't go lower than A though on a standard guitar, though. Intonation WILL get really shitty really fast if you don't have the extended scale length.)

[@SpreadLovey]

ooh, hey shall, nice to see you here, and also you´re totally right, alot of the soundgarden tunening are really fun!

[@broinghius2138]

Hands down my favorite Soundgarden tuning is the Mailman tuning, CGDGBE - Drop C on 6th and 5th strings, standard for the rest.

[@alexanderdenison2950]

I think the main reason baritones fly under the radar is because people just prefer to get an extended range instrument at that point, and I don't really blame them lol

[@ShallieDragon]

@@alexanderdenison2950 I chose a baritone because I didn't want to have to deal with extra strings, especially since my hands are rather small.

[@Not_what_it_used_to_be]

Robert Fripp's playing might not be understood by some. However,he's unique and original ,obscure,abstract etc. King Crimson would change total band line up players from album to album, but just Robert alone still keeps the King Crimson's sonic melodic vibe alive. You know it's King Crimson regardless of the era and line up. He deserves recognition for originality.

Realiscally you could just Block it, play around with different tunings and then when you find the one you really like, just unblock it and readjust the claw in the back till the guitar is back in tune to what you want it to be. all it is, is a tention balenceing act between the strings and the springs in the back, if the guitar was in tune with the block, then all you would need to to do it again adjust that claw. easy stuff, might sound scary but just try it, the worst that could happen is you break a string

I also recommend checking out Badmotorfinger, with Mind Riot; every string tuned to E and Rusty Cage & Searching with My Good Eye Closed; both songs are tuned BADGBE.

This was my original comment with Down on the Upside or Super Unknown...learn the whole album...lots of tunings and crazy time signatures that sound 4/4 but aren't. Just 2 amazing freaking albums. Rock on!!!👍🤘✌

[@lukasstrait9307]

MVSA, This is part of the Wikipedia article on Superunknown. I only listed the tunings, not the time signatures which are also covered following this excerpt. Everyone enjoy and try some of these yourselves. They work! Check out the article when so inclined. Soundgarden utilized alternative tunings and odd time signatures on several of the album's songs. "Spoonman", "Black Hole Sun", "Let Me Drown" and "Kickstand" were performed in drop D tuning while "Mailman" and "Limo Wreck" employed CGDGBE tuning. Some songs used more unorthodox tunings: "My Wave" and "The Day I Tried to Live" are both in an EEBBBB tuning. "Head Down" and "Half" both utilised CGCGGE tuning, "4th of July" is in a similar CFCGBE tuning; and "Like Suicide" is performed in DGDGBC tuning. ------------------------------------------------------------ Btw, I would like to note that Kim Thayall says that TRUE Drop D tuning is NOT just dropping the low E to D. He says it involves actually dropping both the low E AND the A down.anfull pitch. So low E becomes D and A drops down to G. Straight from the horses mouth And he should know. He claims they STARTED the trend. Rock on!

so so beautiful,,thank you so much for this amazing melody.. this melody helps us to kill the pain!

[@patriciajrs46]

These are pretty cool. You are talented.

DADEAE or as I call it, "the poor man's 12-string"

[@benleydon]

Is that the G string down to E or up to E ? ;)

[@fobster2000]

@@benleydon down I'd imagine as its 3 semitones down vs ...at least 8 semitones up

[@Acousticeg]

I use this tuning a lot on acoustic. One of my favorites.

[@pauldepter6031]

Brian Robison, dont you know that the famous "Nashville tuning" is called by everyone "the poor man's 12 string" and thats EADGBE, only the 4 lowest strings an octave higher.kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHuvlYOLlLd-rsU

[@petersenior5432]

@@pauldepter6031 That's not really a 12-string, though, is it? a 12-string is 6 strings but they all have a string next to them tuned the same. Brian Robison's looks way more like a "poor man's 12-string" than EADGBE

@@rotnmold7861 not to worry those strings are just about to be replaced

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

2:04 That's right we're removing the Thick E String off the Guitar and tuning it essentially like a Standard Banjo that's G, D, G, B, D.

Or almost every metal band

[@gmribeirobr]

Fantastic ! Thank you very much. Best explanation of alternate tunings, ever!

[@robertcronin6603]

Thanks for mentioning Nick Drake 🔥

[@notchieuwu]

I recommend DAEAAe just listen to some sky sailing to get b bit of a feeling but you have to play with it to really get the feel it's very unique and I certainly would recommend it (tune down a step and use a capo to avoid breaking any strings😉)

[@michaelgreiner1665]

You can open G with 6 strings. Works good on an acoustic guitar

[@christopherchuauhang4829]

Michael Greiner absolutely!

[@daves.2111]

How very un-Keef of you. 😉

[@briandillon8041]

Michael Greiner you just have to tune the low Estring to DC and it doesn’t work with some chords and you have to mute it.

[@briandillon8041]

Michael Greiner you just have to tune in the low Estring to DC. It works with some chords otherwise mute it

[@briandillon8041]

Michael Greiner low e to d must mute sometimes

[@RedDawnGamin]

i love the how beautiful these tunings sound. :)

[@willemdefouw3605]

Great playing

[@jessicaakawolfquarles6615]

fixed up my first baritone a few days ago, and IM NEVER GOING BACK!!!!!!

[@JordanMcCaughey]

CGCGGC is definitely my favourite tuning, Ben Howard uses mainly this and its just such a different dynamic, I love it

[@amritpaldhiman5571]

It's just my mind bro so lovely tunings

[@-k-b-]

NST is my absolute favorite tuning, love dropping it half a step down as well for that low b note

[@calebtylershepherd21]

Don't know if it was mentioned in comments, but Ben Howard uses an awesome alternate tuning. He uses various different ones but the main one he used on the entire "Every Kingdom" album is awesome to play in. Mainly for acoustic stuff.

[@Jazz911210]

Karnivool, Ben Howard, American Football and Periphery (like open Cadd9) alternate tunings are absolutely the greatest, Karnivool’s are wacky as hell, especially on ‘Themata’ and pretty much all of their songs are in different tunings

[@heywally2739]

Thanks. I like your style, kid. You are going places.
