Been playing in this tuning almost exclusively for years. Simple on the surface, cheat codes for easy stuff, and lots of fun stuff that you can do once you've found your feet in that first a major scale
been learning a ton of amazing japanese songs in this tuning for the last few months. these guys really know how to bring out such a beautiful sound with daeac#e. ANORAK!, 7th Jet Balloon, and as a sketch pad
Interestingly enough I actually use this tuning pitched lower to take a “twinkly *enough* to ‘get by’ for regular music” D-standard (DGCFAD) tuned guitar into deep doomy sludge metal territory with A#FCFAD, I don’t tune the high string down so I have extra range. I don’t use the high strings open unless the riff is based higher up the neck on the relative minor, or if I’m fretting them for chord extensions or playing leads if I’m basing the riff off the low open A#. I got this from soundgarden who have some songs in CGDGBE, who apparently got it from the melvins whenever they go to C! The floppy strings just add to the doomy “bwooooommm” sound hahah. Works a charm and sounds awesome and brutal on bass with those higher power chords on strings 4,3, and 2 with one finger
this tuning is super close to CGDGBE aka Pavement tuning. i found CGDGBE after a djent-head told me to try extending tunings by just downtuning the low string. so taking "drop C" to mean CADGBe. it was a cool trick to test the waters a little with a certain style of metalcore, chugga chugga zwriinnggg chuga type stuff, where i have a lower root but i can play shapes i already know. But then i tuned the A down to a G and i got instant 90s emo/grunge vibes. i now keep my Gio SG copy in Pavement tuning
This tuning is amazing! Another great tuning (which is a variation of this one) is DADAC#E. This tuning is great for adding 7ths and is used by the Midwest emo artist Weatherday. I’d highly recommend checking it out if you are running out of ideas in DAEAC#E but want to keep a similar feel with your music!
You’re using my dream guitar! I thought I was buying that guitar but it turned out to be Daphne Blue. It just aged over 20 years into more of a surf green color
I’ve been playing this Tuning around the whole video, this is awesome! I found that Jacob Colliers’ sunshine smile song can be made with this lmao, and it sounds amazing on acoustic too
2:36 algernon cadwallader - spit fountain 2:49 ttng - i'll forget about you throwing that rock because that dance was pretty funny 3:05 tiny moving parts - always focused
as someone who plays fully by ear, this is great. Steve, I am a beginner with a great ear, can't read music. any tips for honing your ear as a newer player?
I'd recommended tuning down to CGDGBD. It's the same tuning but lower. I think this would suit an acoustic better. However, if you still want to tune up, then I recommend throwing some light guage strings on there before you do.
Thank you Steve!!! You always assign the best homework with clear explanations on the whys and hows! I appreciate the work you put onto your videos, you rock!!!🎸🏔️

I've been using this tuning as a go-to for just jamming, and I've gotta say it's definitely become a favorite of mine! Great vid!

Absolutely love that algernon riff
Great video, learnt a great deal. Just a sugestion, maybe you could offset the light so the reflexion doesn't distract as much. Or a polarizer filter.
Thanks! Yeah, changed my setup round so I'll tweak that for the next one. Thanks

Sounds great, I'm going to try it immediately to write something🙂
First 4 chords sound like Try Honestly from Billy Talent
Haha! They really do.
You’re using my dream guitar! I thought I was buying that guitar but it turned out to be Daphne Blue. It just aged over 20 years into more of a surf green color
Definitely one of my favorite tunings!

Oh whoops I thought it was the facgce video… I might have w been jamming for a while
Haha!
Instant americ anfootball feels
Crazy timing. I just wrote a jam in this tuning last night. 🎉
My favourite tuning by far
What were the example songs? Those sounded really dope
2:36 algernon cadwallader - spit fountain
2:49 ttng - i'll forget about you throwing that rock because that dance was pretty funny
3:05 tiny moving parts - always focused
Thanks! Forgot to include that haha@@pinguefy
as someone who plays fully by ear, this is great.
Steve, I am a beginner with a great ear, can't read music.
any tips for honing your ear as a newer player?
Song name at 2:36 anybody?

How can i go about tuning my acoustic this way?
I'd recommended tuning down to CGDGBD. It's the same tuning but lower. I think this would suit an acoustic better. However, if you still want to tune up, then I recommend throwing some light guage strings on there before you do.
Cool. I use DAEABE. I'll try this.
