ABCDEFG Tuning Sounds AMAZING!

[@peteplaysmusic]

Which weird, funky bonkers tuning should I do next? :) Thanks to Chapman Guitars for sponsoring this video! Check out the Chapman ML1-7 Pro Modern here: bit.ly/3ChPAo6

[@nikkmorse]

That's mental, going beyond conventional tunings AGAIN and still making an awesome tune, epic mate fair play 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼

[@FinC1_]

Naturally, GFEDCBA should be next

[@Pasture_Prime]

Brown note tuning

[@leosoloway]

Get the 8 string out and do FACEFACE

[@ceraunophiliccovers1307]

Getting an argument with the old man and then you go like FACDAD or DADFAG

[@absence7445]

Being able to still sound like yourself in such a mindfuck tuning is a triumph. Well done Pete!

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! This tuning was pretty big challenge haha. Pleased to hear it still sounds like me even with the tuning :)

Key of A minor 😉

[@9-volt_fan142]

[@panic-revv85]

@@9-volt_fan142 the notes in the key of A minor are ABCDEFG. Plus it sounds minor.

Today you put out a beautiful, heavy and uplifting song called Persevere on a day that I didn't know if I could. I truly needed this today. Cheers to another day in the fight, all the love my friend. ❤

[@peteplaysmusic]

Very, very happy to help! :) ❤️🤘

[@TommyThousandFaces]

You putting work and passion in what you play really shows. I love these more fun video, experimenting with music and intruments!

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks so much! I love making songs and doing musical experiments like this :)

[@RossPetersMusic]

And here's me struggling with standard tuning. 😂 Fantastic track, that must have been insanity inducing to compose in that tuning. 🤘 Also, that guitar is absolutely beautiful man.

[@temorinkaari]

Would love to see a "how it's made" videos of these. I can't imagine you just sit there and make a song from scratch, there has to be a period where you're just sitting there and thinking "wtf am i playing right now" and trying to figure out the tunings and how chords/scales changed

[@PaulEubanks]

Wait, isn’t this the background music from “How It’s Made: Dream Cars”?

[@Necron00b]

@1:43 - that breakdown is immense, the whole track was really great. Maybe CABDDBAC or some other kind of palindrome tuning. haha

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! :)

[@mammothaudioengineering]

You should definitely try the CABBAGE tuning, if you haven't yet. Not sure why I thought of this now, but it sounds fun and funny to me!

[@peteplaysmusic]

Haha thanks! Maybe I'll give it a try :)

[@zamkowicz]

Rob Scallon got you covered

[@mammothaudioengineering]

@@zamkowicz who is this Bob Scallion you talk about

[@neilomac]

There's a case to be made for BAGGAGE too. Pun *firmly* intended.

[@mysticmagicsmurfdarklord6844]

Andrew Huang and Ichika Nito also did Cabbage tuning

Awesome work as usual Pete

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks so much! :)

[@claudiu3005]

Not only the tuning sounds amazing, it's also YOU that sound amazing everytime! This is such a banger! I always enjoy watching your videos and listening to your stuff. You are so creative! Please, don't ever stop making music!

[@chrishuttel7291]

That is so absolutly you❤ wish you do more of these awesome selfmade songs like your older ones 😊 Graet work as always Pete

[@FirstOfTheFall]

That was a banger and that guitar is eye candy AF!!!

[@joshvandruff1790]

Pete I’m pretty sure you could take any tuning at all and make it sound incredible. Awesome work! 🤘🏻

[@davidclay8037]

Sounds amazing dude!

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! :)

[@nathanmclauchlan5148]

I don’t know how you get your around playing in such a weird out there tuning, but you somehow do it and write a cool song in that tuning. 🤯 imagine how many guitars you would have to take out touring with all these tunes, this one is my abcdefg tuned guitar, this one is my beefbeef tuned guitar and this is my all E tuned guitar, plus all my normal guitars 😜

[@empressofmadness]

you honestly give me motivation to make my own music. i LOVE this.

[@peteplaysmusic]

That’s awesome, thanks! :)

[@pollylewis9611]

You always blow my mind on how talented you really are, thanks for another great one Pete!

Beautiful guitar and beautiful song

[@billyturk8117]

The intro sounds like sasoin. Well done as always. You're ridiculously creative and talented.

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks so much! :)

[@БасистЗапаса]

Hope your videos will get more views! Pls return to 20 bands 1 riff videos. Breakdown "One" riff or shadows follow main riff as ideas!

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! 1 Riff 20 Bands for the 'One' riff could be really interesting, maybe I should try it!?! :)

[@mattevans7388]

Really awesome work man 🤘🤘🤘

[@ophiuchus1970]

That was a great use of a very unusual tuning. You could try this one, if it's weird enough, E1 B1 G2 D3 A3 E4

[@coupe16v86]

DAMN....I love it man!

[@NinjaSushi2]

That sounded amazing!!

[@thepickle2535]

HELL YEAH!!! GET IT, PETE!!!! \m/

[@natesguitar1001]

Another banger dang that tuneing sounds insane so is it more like standerd or does it feel like a downtuned felling

[@neonbelly4]

best weird tuning song you've made. reminds me of killswitch engage

[@hamsterman1995]

This is amazing dude!

[@metalheads-golf]

Wow, ... very cool. I would need a lot of time to spin my head around how the fingers would need to move specifically with all the semitone surprises that would for sure occur. Coolio. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@ibanezgod]

Amazing as always!

[@ackling]

This sounds like Soilwork from the Sworn to a Great Divide/ The Panic Broadcast era.

[@Lethoscorpia]

That sounded brilliant well done

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! :)

[@MaelstromTheDemon]

Welp, that's another banger going in my playlist!

[@paperinosubliminalsbackupc1216]

Immediately reminded me of emmure 'A Gift A Curse'

[@jcugnoni]

Great riffs. Actually I find your demo tune so inspiring.. Always catchy and powerfull.

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! :)

[@MiguelReyes-of1hf]

What in the actual fuck did I just watch and should I just go throw my guitar into a fucking volcano? 😭😭🤣🤣 Outstanding talent! Truly remarkable!

Awesome! I think need more mastering.

[@arbuznazarov9326]

this feels like a crossover of melodic metalcore from the 2000s and the modern metalcore like architects

[@smeemusic]

So far what you came up with this tuning is my favorite and now I want to try to tune my 7 string like this. Got some advice on strings? Seems like it would be a really odd set.

[@lucaspowell8580]

That was absolutely beautiful

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! :)

[@timothymckane6362]

I remember watching Davie504 doing that type of tuning on a seven string bass which the song was very cool. This one is very cool in a proggy style of metal.

[@pixiendixie4211]

That sounded amazing.

[@jasoncrump1886]

That's was killer Pete.

[@joshuayoung6207]

Hey Pete you've done an amazing job out of this tuning however I can't help but be curious if you were to take the g and put it on the low side and put the a on the high-end

[@crackedspyglass]

There’s a whole bunch of funky sonic youth tunings to try

[@LeonidasKaragiannis]

This has some Apex 2.0 vibes in it. I love it.

[@bjwaters]

I did notice that you really didn't try to do any chords. I would imagine trying to do them would tie your fingers into pretzels! 😆 Good work, as always. 👍

[@neilweir-smith8228]

I mean I can't talk to what it was like to learn how to play in that tuning but playing like that (not using open chords too much and a lot of riffing) can be made to sound good in any tuning I reckon, especially when you have such mad skills. There is no way I could do it though. As for tuning suggestion: if you don't mind messing with the nut a bit, alternate the top three and bottom three strings so if you go high to low as 1-6 in standard tuning then restring the guitar as 1,4,2,5,3,6 and then tune in any tuning really, even standard tuning from there can't really think of a weird tuning right now.

[@paperinosubliminalsbackupc1216]

1:43 Meshuggah koloss vibes yuuuuuh

[@CoolStuffDad]

Keep on diving into that odd territory- at this point, you & @bernth need to put something together!

[@yazansakran3326]

I'm trying this tuning on my 8 string

[@peteplaysmusic]

You could technically do the full Major Scale with an 8 string haha ABCDEFGA :) EDIT: It would be the full Minor Scale, not Major! I forgot my music theory knowledge lol :)

[@JleStudios]

Came across your channel. Love it. Subscribed now. There is one band that I wanted to throw out there. I think they have some pretty unique guitar. The whole sound of the band is unique. They are ILLIDIANCE. Check out some of their new songs. I dont think you will be disappointed.

[@MatteoKysely]

SO IT WAS ABCDEFG! I just got the order wrong lmao. Nice job man!

[@scoobybenguitars]

It certainly does!

[@amongtheruins]

awsome man!

[@tonyhd4929]

Pete, have you ever thought of having a Video Editor helping you with your videos?

[@prabeshhollowinside2864]

Please do a CABBAGE tuning. Maybe write something about vegetables!!

[@simonramirez7754]

So dope! But where's the solo?

[@kurtshirvinski836]

It's all about knowing music theory. Once you know what notes work you could make a tuning of tritones sound pretty Please do a tritones tuning video

[@m.hughes2521]

Try that in a smalltown roadhouse, see how far you get down the road.

[@chapmanguitars]

🔥🔥🔥 awesome

[@murphyia1980]

Ever tried the "New Standard Tuning" that Robert Fripp devised?

[@HarryCaneNo1]

Since I cant read, write, understand or tell anything about notes, I'll just go with: H for all strings, the upper one perma muted, the lowest two bound together in the middle and your ring finger has to be covered in glass. I have no idea what I'm talking about, but.... try or no balls! :D

[@ataylor22474]

Oh that's dope.

[@JU94100]

Great video On your next video with a 6 string you should try this tuning B-E-D-B-E-D

[@cnett486]

Soil work? Nice!

[@Codeaholic1]

DADAGD is fun. Maybe too pretty sounding for metal. But lots of unusual chord shapes in there

[@SeeJayPlayGames]

you mean DADGAD?

[@Codeaholic1]

@@SeeJayPlayGames nope

What if you did GFEDCBA?

[@Okmang_ok]

I want to try

[@commonsensehill372]

Very cool.

aww. I play the chapman pro baritone 6 that looks just like that.

This reminds me of Sybreed, KSE, Russian Circles and Architects at once

What about the reverse of the tuning used, GFEDCBA. Really go for something chaotic lol

the Guitar tuning basically is Open A Natural Minor Scale Tuning
