Re: The Guitar Topic - B
Tehz:
I'm a fan of F#F#F#F#BE. This was used on a lot of my favorite SY songs, so it's fun experimenting with it.
Zingoleb:
Which way do you tune your D string? Really taut, or really loose?
Mm. That would produce very nice fret buzz.
JimmyJazz:
Question: For alternate tunings that require strings to be raised a lot higher or lower than there normal pitch, what do you do? Is there a special way to de-tune or tune-up strings to drastically different pitches without beaking them, or do you replace them with thicker or thinner strings?
Zingoleb:
For drastically lower, I keep the original string, as I like a bit of fret buzz, to be honest. I have songs where the low E string is tuned down to B or even A.
As for higher...the most I trust a string is a step and a half, and that's a bit much. After that I'd try swapping it in for a higher string (that is, replace an A string with a D) and tuning it how you need, instead.

I want to have at least one year where I am fully, completely content with my life. If that means fooling myself, so be it.
I still want that fucking pine Tele.
