Use F F F F F F tuning for more respect.
4 years and this meme still lives on
Good one
That sounds like a South Youth tuning.
Funky Bullshrimp its a lou reed tuning
all-one-note is called ostritch tuning and it sounds fantastic with a slide
Cant wait to try these 7 different tunings with my floyd rose
Well, have fun then... Seriously though, I don't think it's gonna work that well
I feel the pain brother
O no
Know what's you mean.... my Jackson pro couldn't even handle drop C
YOU POOR SOUL I FEEL YOUR PAIN
My report card tuning FFDFDD
Mine too lol.
School's a joke, go learn a trade instead 😎
Good tuning. Not too sharp.
It rlly be like that huh
Tears of Soy depends on how much success you want to achieve
DEADGF,great one to write songs about breaking up.Also try DEADBF.
DEADGF sounds like a tuning that Tim Lambesis from AILD would enjoy
DEADGF is also good clickbait according to Jaystation.
Unfortunately DEADGF is a bit looser than DEADBF. But that's corpses for you.
So good!! 😂😂
Screw it im trying it, for real
These riffs you're playing are fresh AF
Also isn't it C"GD"AEG not C"DG"AEG?
This dude goes mad underappreciated for his killer fucking "example" riffs
Was just thinking these could be made into really good songs
BAGDAD - Iraq tuning
It's fun to play in
it blows up your guitar tone
i tried this and now my dad has crawled into a bag and won’t come out, please help!
it gives an explosive sound
Lmao
For maximum djent, use drop § tuning
What about Drop Æ
Alex-RaCoon12 that’s for tool stuff
@@yes-ls3im ok, so what about Standard Œ
Alex-RaCoon12
for whales only to hear (gojira)
Drop ł
0:51 Black key tuning: F# A# C# F# A# F
1:53 Banjo Tuning GDGBD
3:39 Open D DADF#AD
5:40 New standard tuning CDGAED
7:32 Nick Drake Tuning CGCFCE
9:08 Baritone Standard Tuning BEADF#B
9:47 DADGAD!
The NST first string it's wrong, it's not a D but it's a G, and the fourth and third are inverted
Thanks Jimmy.
@Slater Slater What?
@Slater Slater ohhh i just got It lmao
Up
BAGDAD
Bombing my way through metal
1 - Why doesn't this comment have more likes?
2 - I want to try this simply because you're comment is hilarious.
wow that's very racist
I think using BAGDAD on a classical guitar using camel pubes for strings works.
Abraham Jaleel No, it’s a joke. :p
Abraham Jaleel lmao, I found the person who doesn’t understand jokes
For anyone who doesn't want to remove the low E, tune it to D.
or up to G
@@wolfchildrising9951 yeah, if you have a set of 008s, or have a .38
the correct answer is tune it down to a C for that delicious CGDGBD
I always recommend dropping the d on the p and then listen to that baby scream.....you know what I be saying....eeeeee
Just cut it then you dont have the effort of actually removing it ez
whenever i hit my guitar, the tuning goes to AAAAAA
JM8 the classic ‘Glitter Sound, as in Rock n Roll Part 2 in the Joker
i really like FACGCE
or as i call it: "american football tuning"
Peevin the hallowed Midwest emo tuning
yee
Such a fun tuning to noodle with
Alip Ba Ta, Dear God
how do we actually alternate tuning? does the clip on tuner detects specific tuning like F#? or is it just fixed to detect the standard tuning? i’ve never bought a tuner i just use the phone app. i’m considering buying a tuner if it does the work hahah
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.
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.)
ooh, hey shall, nice to see you here, and also you´re totally right, alot of the soundgarden tunening are really fun!
Hands down my favorite Soundgarden tuning is the Mailman tuning, CGDGBE - Drop C on 6th and 5th strings, standard for the rest.
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
@@alexanderdenison2950 I chose a baritone because I didn't want to have to deal with extra strings, especially since my hands are rather small.
"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.
Goo Goo dolls - Iris BDDDDD
Sponsored by pornhub descriptions
Some Ds are tight. Other Ds are lose. Are you describing boobs? Lmao
craigdamage I tried this and the strings went out of tune but somehow sounded good together.
Damn that Lou reed is sick
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
My favorite unconventional tuning is DADF#BD, you can make a lot of interesting major chords with it
soundgarden tunings (pretty noose, burden in my hand / mailman, 4th of july)
forgot to cite
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
CGCGAD is a good one used by Jose Gonzalez
I thought drop c was C G C F A D
A man can be good, but when he inspire hendrix, he's the man
Oh, I am so glad to see/hear you play something in New Standard Tuning!
DADGAD - Best Dad
no no DADADD
DADADA
DADF#AD
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.
TheMadKraken2297 drop d just gives the guitar so much more oomf
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.
Plus Drop D blues has a different level of darkness compared to standard tuning Blues
D a d g a d, the "Kashmir" tuning.
I get Keith Richards didn’t use the low E string but it’s easier to just drop it to a D and use it as a drone note it’s also killer for playing with a slide
You can also just tune your low E string up to a G too and have unison G strings. That's what Eagles of Death metal do.
@@BaBaBaBenny did not know that.
Pearl Jam's Daughter can be played easily on open G...
I dont even bother tuning it. I just leave it as a low E and try not to hit it when I'm playing. I usually use it for slide and playing Keith stuff (as do most people)
Yes, why remove and waste a string? Also sounds good with the open D and hitting seventh fret harmonics on the other strings
The Brown note
José LDLCM Drop Brown tuning
@@DavidNwokoye jajaja
Neon Brown.
Every Day I Got The Browns
The one note able to make a person shit their pants on contact.
Captains Log, Day 3: I have replaced my guitar strings 13 times since reading the comments. I hope to find that perfect tuning soon.
BDDDDD is a funny tuning and is used by the song Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls
bro honestly I wish I had a separate guitar just for that song
That tuning is almost identical as big come-down by Nine Inch Nails which uses all D tuning.
@@caesaro.2286 They got that from Lou Reed, who called it ostrich guitar. He used it on the Velvet Underground songs "All Tomorrow's Parties", "Heroin", and "Venus In Furs".
I was trying to learn that song, then I saw the wack ass tuning and dipped.
@@hickorymccay2994 the singer John Rzeznik is known to just go wild with tunings when writing songs so it's probably just coincidence that it's "ostrich tuning"
One of my favorites is FACGCE, it's used in a lot of twinkly math rock stuff, American Football, TTNG, Yvette Young, just to name a few.
Later Activity ❤️
Thanks for the reference, I'm always looking for tunings to throw my self for a loop and break outta the ruts!
The black keys tuning lick you did sounds like it could be a new John Mayer hit single.
OMG, YOU REALLY DID MENTION CGCFCE (AKA NICK DRAKE TUNING)
That's So freaking Nice Man
Truly, now is when we rise and we are everywhere
I spent a whole year in new standard once. Wrote some of the best music i've ever made, and I came back to standard a way better player in general. Really underrated tuning imo
How much tension does it add to the neck and strings?
That baritone was the best sounding of all the tunings i loved that heaviness to the riffs
i Love Rob Scallon CABBAGE Tuning :v
Kind of Andrew huang as well
oh boy, I wish I had a seven-string guitar
Ahaha it was really sounds good at my 7strings guitar
Sounded cool by Ichika Nito too!
Man, I'm stuck with one cheap acoustic guitar:( ... Not that if I had better one I could close to anyone of you guys even in distant future tbh
HA jokes on you i'll just learn my minor pentatonic licks in the alternate tunings!
I have my own tuning. I call it the Dulcitone Tuning, because it's based off the the Dulcimer tuning, and it sounds very medieval. It's DADDAD. Really simple. Sounds nice on acoustic.
DADGAD, when you need to bring out your inner Highlander
Imraan Akollo-Arenz or CADGAD
Watching a vid like this and realizing you have a floyd rose bridge
Lukas Kuipers have fun with that whammy bro!!! Or have different guitars for different tunings like I do so you don’t have to worry about all that tuning shit
Stone Gulliksen kinda difficult w/ no money
Lukas Kuipers True, I have an EVH Striped Series Frankenstein but I mostly keep in E flat
thats why i only play hard tails :v
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
After a couple years of playing, I finally decided to play in drop d. The result surprised me a lot. It is like a brand new world is front of me. I will try and the other tunings too and I'm sure that it will be awesome. Thanks for your videos mate, they are pretty good.
DADFAE is an interesting one, used by Opeth on the album "Ghost Reveries"
My favorite album of all time. Their best lineup too. Back before Mikael wrote off metal.
Great tuning
Dadfae better than open d major
The Robert Fripp tuning is awesome. I need to try that.
illuminOz, liked his collaboration with David Bowie on Heroes but that’s really it. Sort of sounded very Shoegaze-y.
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.
could you tell me what string should I use for this tuning?
DAEAC#E for all my math rock nerds out here
the bassist443 Thanks man! I love math rock!
LEMME TELL YOU WHAT I THINK ABOUT FROOOOOOOOG SPIT!!
Sean Crawford I’M FOR IT
@@seancrawford4786 I live near Philadelphia and I always sing that to myself when passing that fountain
@@seancrawford4786 I freaking love algernon
Also good tuning(s) that i use are
Fmaj9 FACGCE
Dmaj9 DAC#EAE
Gmin7? or Bb6/D - either way i'm using the first 3 strings as a drone chord DGDFBbD
Try em out, they fun
Just tried the Nick Drake tuning. And damn thanks for that man. Everything sounds so emotional and dreamy in that tuning. Just what I needed to boost my creativity.
One octave down from Standard E
DEBAGD (Dimebag Darrell tuning)
BAGDAD (Bomb tuning)
One octave down from Drop A
GGGGGG
Octave down from drop A, that's at least a nine string tuning yeah?
Yeah, Glass Cloud basically.
Your electric bill must be rediculous with having those amps on all the time...
that YT revenue
Victor Kirsch yeah but he has so many of them
You're an amazing guitarist, bro. I could sit and listen to you all day. So creative...........
Very well done mate. Tks a lot. I knew some of them but this lesson is the perfect compendium. Greetings from Rome@Italy
if you know Nick drake surely you know Elliott Smith? he also did weird tunings, and also died young, and was a amazing acoustic song writer. Independence day would be a great song if not introduced yet, very cool use of some sort of open c tuning.
With Open G, can you not just leave the 6th string on and put it down to a D?
I usually don't even bother to do that when playing Stones stuff, i just tune the A string down to G and usually even leave the high E to E to just get those tasty Keith Richards chords (think of Brown Sugar for example)
It was kind of a joke. Keith Richards took the low E off his guitar for a few tours.
@@guitarmemoir
It's not a joke. Keith learned to play guitar on an acoustic in open G with five strings.
@HUUUUUURRRR
Didn't Tyler say switching to one of those tunings would make you more creative? ;-)
DGDGBD is the normal tuning. DGDGBE is also a useful variant on a similar idea.
So great this channel is !
E modal tuning: EEEEBE. Crosby, Stills, & Nash used that tuning on "Carry On".
Looks like a fairly weird tuning
I love the "new strings that haven't been tuned" tuning
Also EBDGad, cause Andy McKee 👍
The fact that you can keep track of your neck while switching up the tuning like that is wildly impressive
Very excited to try these
Awesome, dude! That baritone lick was sick! Thanks for sharing.
FACGCe - American Football tuning
I was hoping for that one.
Let's juuuuuust forgeeeeeet
My favourite of all time.
He didn't even mention Midwest emo. What an amateur
He could easily have mentioned it as an augmentation of the Nick Drake tuning cos the it's the same except for the 5th and 6th strings
@@sanny8716 eVERYTHING SAID
I tuned my guitar to open D cuz I was watching a playthrough of "Shibuya" by Yvette Young (well, she plays the song with a capo, but whatever), but because my strings are like six months old, they don´t stay in tune well. One day, coming back from college, I picked up my guitar and the strings tune themselves higher by a semitone, but I didn´t like it, so I tuned it another semitone higher and now I play in open E, wich I like sooooo much more than open D. (I could´ve just said this at the beggining, but I don´t have anything else to do).
Nice
Just retuned my old selmer nylon string to Nick Drake tuning... Love that lovely bass note on the bottom string. Great for a kind of call and response tune and as soon as you hit the strings it just screams Nick Drake all over !! Thankyou, I'm gonna spend some time with this tuning :O)
That acoustic guitar you used in this video is majestic a super beautiful guitar
Open D is actually called the WIDE OPAHN tuning.
That's open D5.
Wide ophnd tuning
Sonic Youth used some awesome alternative Tunings!
quentinateacid they create tunings
I love you bro
Just by you saying "pause this video and go watch another" shows how good of a person you are.
so so beautiful,,thank you so much for this amazing melody..
this melody helps us to kill the pain!
Standard tuning is bae, but I also love standard C for my heavier songs and clean parts
Yeah man, C Standard quenches my thirst for dirty QOTSA riffs.
E Drop D D# and Drop C# are the tunings i use most
Seymour D. Buttz yeah, but I was talking more about my own riffs, it’s like a thrashier melodeath
Drop b and c 4 life
Standard tuning isn't BAE, its EADGBE, geez, some people.
Sweeettttt! The C tuning is beautiful; and DADGAD - yup!
Thank You
Fantastic ! Thank you very much. Best explanation of alternate tunings, ever!
Love the ghost note at 7:44. Great video!
Drop X chromosome tuning
Julian Gonzalez you mean me
Lol
@Music is Win I recommend checking out Superuknown by Soundgarden. It has a ton of fun alternate tunings to play, but my favourite out of all of it is Like Suicide. The tuning is just so unique to me; DGDGBC, it just sounds majestic. Also The Day I Tried to Live’s tuning is EEBBBB. 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. Soundgarden is a great band, especially for alternate tunings, and is actually my favourite band of all time, they are just so unique. Highly recommend checking them out.
freakboi also my favorite band of all time.
SG is #4 in my top 5 of all times
Don't forget Seasons: FFCCCF
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!!!👍🤘✌
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!
Thanks. This was truly making sense.
NST is my absolute favorite tuning, love dropping it half a step down as well for that low b note
THANK YOU for mentioning Nick Drake 🙏🙏🙏
I know this video was posted a while ago, but if you see this, i just wanted to say...
The Danelectro 66 is such an impractical guitar, the right handed side shoulder is higher than the left hand side, and that's if you get the right handed cut!
Thank you George Harrison, very cool
These are pretty cool. You are talented.
i love the how beautiful these tunings sound. :)
8:21 this tuning is the B standard tuning
Yep there are strings that are super thick for this tuning
AGCFAd, Open Cmadd9, and the Limo Wreck tuning, CGDGBe are all really cool
Periphery's tuning ;))) mainly used on Omega and P3
Thanks for a great post really inspirational
Thanks. I like your style, kid. You are going places.
I hope you cover Drop L tuning.
Or drop z
Double drop Z
Haha Triple drop z
Talk about the brown note.
I'm calling stevie right now... gotta let him know lol
"That's Robert Fripp. He's good at guitar".
It's just my mind bro so lovely tunings
Open G and D are such common blues/slide tunings. I appreciate that you showed something different in those tunings.
My favorite tuning is cfcfac, it is a super fun tuning.
Drop C# is my favorite tuning right now. Idk why it just sounds cool
What happened to Drop D Half step?
I love coming back to this video to listen to these tunings. I will have to try some one day. I did try open D and open C because of this video. Them I tried open Cadd9 because of Mark Holcomb. I'm finding I love open tunings as it is easier for me to create big full chord riffs any where on the fretboard.
I really loved this
fixed up my first baritone a few days ago, and IM NEVER GOING BACK!!!!!!
So yeah, I paused. I watched King Crimson. I now realize that I have been living life so horribly wrong, how could I not have known of this godly madness.
Nice lesson. Thankyou for the info
Dude I couldn’t stop drooling over that wall of awesome-looking pedals !
Here are two other favorites of mine : (high to low) EBBEBE (or DAADAD if you don’t want to bust a string...) used in Suite Judy Blue Eyes, and EBADAD one of many unusual tunings used by Steve Howe.
DAEAC#E or FACGCE
Midwest Emo Gang :)
this guy gets it
What about DADG#AE or your Dad Gae tuning
there we fo
c a p p n j a z z
Here you are, buds
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😉)
That DaneElectro tuning and playing is awesome!
Great playing
2:04 kerry king has no power here
Kerry king is crying rn
@@rotnmold7861 not to worry those strings are just about to be replaced
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
5:50 made me feel something i havent felt ever

My favorite tuning and the one I keep all my guitars in is half step down standard. I have also fiddled around with whole step down tuning. I am going to try the Nick Drake tuning and DADGAD because I like the way they sound. Thanks for this vid

@@raydog_97 Drop A is great too, but I like Drop A# because it sounds great for a lot of genres of music. From metalcore to alternative rock/metal and post-grunge, Drop A# sounds great.
