I would have to say Drop D or C Standard, Drop A Is a close though As is E
and i belive i got the most common electric guitar tunings used

Posted by: kethcup Jul 10 2007, 03:48 AM

I like E and Drop D myself. I love drop tuning for the sound, but I like E for the classics.

Never been into playing with tunings apart from the very occasional Drop D and I'm not a metal guy so I chose E ...

I'm just a standard guy..maybe the occasional drop D or Eb

Posted by: JVM Jul 10 2007, 04:03 AM

E.

If a song is in anything but E I don't bother playing it, haha.

Now if I had multiple guitars I would, but until then.... nope.

E for me as well. I would switch it up now and then but tuning a floyd rose makes me keep in E.

Double Drop d on six string, regular on seven.

Although I Alway have my guitar in Standard.

I love to tune it down to Eb because that is what Hendrix, SRV, Slash etc. play in.

So when you play songs like Voodoo Child or Sweet Child o' mine it sounds right.

I use E standard when I'm playing at home, D with my band, and sometimes Eb when I learn/practice SRV stuff.

when im jamming with my mate ill use Drop C for our metal songs, but at home when playing with my fav bands, doing exercises or trying to put some theory into practice ill always use E for simplicity.

Hard to choose. Any could sound heavy. But I chose Eb.

Standard E for most playing, drop D occasional for the more heavy stuff.

Posted by: Sollesnes Oct 4 2010, 06:51 AM

Posted by: Vaidya Oct 4 2010, 07:35 AM

Posted by: Jerry Arcidiacono Oct 4 2010, 12:57 PM

Eb for heavy/rock stuff & E for the rest

Posted by: Frederik Oct 4 2010, 03:00 PM

DADGAD
and other open tunings for acoustic

Posted by: Mr T Oct 4 2010, 03:41 PM

I enjoy D standard the most and I occasionally tune to drop C.

Posted by: Fran Oct 4 2010, 04:07 PM

I chose Eb, the sound is a bit more aggressive than with standard tuning. I love drop D as well, so it was a hard choice, but most of the time I really play in Eb.

Posted by: The Uncreator Oct 4 2010, 11:03 PM

Have to change my vote to B Standard since I play on a 7 string now

Posted by: MonkeyDAthos Dec 18 2010, 12:59 AM

i use E Standard and D Standard (also Drop C)


also try once playing in Standard F ...its creppy crazy you can make bends that reach like 1 octave is really freaky

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Dec 18 2010, 09:16 PM

I like the standard tuning on both guitar and bass. Though dropped-D is interesting too
