Hey Guys my guitar is tuned to Eb Standard and its an Ibanez so it takes forever to tune it xD so i was wonderring if you guys could help me find some songs a place between Beginner and Intermediate (ive been playing for 3 years). Im mostly into metal and rock, but all kind of songs would be cool xD Metal subgenres is mostly Thrash and Death but also Doom, Melodic, Hair and all that stuff aslong as it isnt Power metal. Im not so much into Metalcore and NuMetal though but all ideas would be great (;

Pretty much any Metallica song is in Eb, and if not, check a live version and they will play it in Eb
This is actually true for many rock songs that are played live, so AC/DC would be an option as well.

Not on all the records up until Load it isn't All stuff they did before then was E standard (not counting Sad But True, Thing that Should not be)

However you're right about their recent live performances too, all tuned down to Eb.

Pete, is there a reason why you play in Eb ? Is it possible to make a jump to standard tuning ? Just a thought, it would make your life easier.

The only person I can think of right now who exclusively plays in Eb is Yngwie Malmsteen...

The reason is that My band is playing in that tuning and I think it sounds cool and heavy lol. And it takes a shitload of time to tune this guitar in another tuning >_<

The only person springing to my mind is Yngwie as well
