GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Protest The Hero Tuning / Best String Gauge ?

Posted by: Eat-Sleep-andJam Jan 22 2009, 01:27 PM

Hey Guys, Can anyone help me figure out the tuning for Protest the Hero ? And what gauge strings would be best for playing their songs. Thanks

I believe this is standard tuning tuned a half step lower...
As far as strings, no need to get very heavy gauge.. You can but I don't think it's necessary since the tuning is not that low...

I agree with David. Regular set of strings (for example 10-46) will do just fine, since it's not low tuning.

Thanks Guys

Picked up a set of 10's.

10s I think!

As it's fairly technical I would say standard 10s is the right choice for flat tuning
