Permalink Reply by dajiaoma on January 11, 2009 at 4:36am: Andy McKee, Newton Faulkner, Thomas Leeb, Peter Ciluzzi, Stefano Barone, Don Ross, Justin King, Justin Taylor, Eric Roche (RIP), Kelly Valleau, Antoine Dufour and T-Cophony are just a few artists you could sarch up.

As for tunings, you can use DADGAD, DGDGAD, DADDAD, DADF#AD, DGDDAD and the list goes on.

Some songs you could look for are March (Peter Ciluzzi), Drifting (Andy McKee), To The Light (Newton Faulkner), Phunkdified (Justin King), I Will Not Be Fine (Justin Taylor), Antoine Dufour (Spiritual Groove) and Sleepwalker (T-Cophony)

drop Db (d-flat) (DbAbDbGbBbEb) system of a down's two newest albums, the song broken hands by lamb of god, the album 'burn the priest' by lamb of god are all in drop-Db.

drop c (CGCFAD)- any of system of a down's first 3 albums. some breaking benjamin, *looks into zune library* some 36 crazyfists- most songs from 'bitterness the star'. also the entirety of 'rosenrot' and 'reise, reise' by rammstein.

drop B (BF#BEG#C#)- most of chevelle's 'wonder what's next' and parts of both this type of thinking and vena sera. i wanna say five finger death punch uses drop B as well. most of slipknot's self-titled album (with the exception of (sic)- thats in drop c)

drop A (just follow the progression, yeah?)- other songs on this type of thinking and vena sera.

switchy bands- sevendust, three days' grace, chevelle and breaking benjamin are some bands that don't really like to keep it in one tuning. sevendust i think goes in the range from drop-Db to drop A. i dont think breaking benjamin goes above drop-d or below drop c, but there may be some in drop-b. three days' grace, i don't listen to very much so i couldnt tell you accurately.

other tunings- double drop-D (DADGBD) lamb of god has a few songs in this tuning- namely 'vigil' and supposedly as the palaces burn, although i find it's easier to play that song in just drop-d.

standard, down one whole step: (DGCFAD) the first song that comes to mind here is 'adam's song' by blink-182. actually, i cant think of any other songs like this, although theres definitely others.

hope i helped a little :); ▶ Reply to This
