I would realy like to tune my 6 string guitar into Standard B, so i can play some real metal (Cannibal Corpse, Amon Amarth, you name it). But i cant realy find out how i do this?. Should i get some special Strings for it?. Should i go to my Guitar Store and ask if they could do it for me?. Or is it simple and i can do it my self?. Realy hope someone in here can help me out..

You usually need heavy gauge strings (0.11 - 0.54 and even heavier) stabdradr B tuning would mean B E A D G B E on a 7 string or B E A D F # B on a 6 string or on a baritone guitar. Tell me what kind of a guitar you have and we can take it from there You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

So you'll need to use Thicker strings... starting with 0,11 or 0,13 as Cosmin said. In the future a 7 strings guitar could be a good choice for those styles...

In my opinion, the Epi Sg should be a killer axe with some heavy gauge strings on it what kind of pickups does it have? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If you intend on investing some money in your pickups, I would recommend Bareknuckle pickups! Look around on their site, as they have a very wide array of products and if you're in doubt, write them an email, giving them all the necessary details for a recommendation: - type of guitar used (wood should be mentioned) - amp owned - enjoyed styles - styles you'd like to cover with your new pickups Let me know how it went You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
