Members NixerX Posted February 28, 2011 Members Share Posted February 28, 2011 If you both understand the tuning and what you are playing enough to say HEY im playing Bm to Em to Ab it should be no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members newholland Posted February 28, 2011 Members Share Posted February 28, 2011 yep-- i played in a band that did that a lot, actually. i still seldom play in standard-- but i'll use a capo a lot to get in the ballpark to get the voicings i want from the tunings i like. we also played in several different tunings and just got fast with the tuner to cut down on guitar swaps.

Members '63-Strat Posted February 28, 2011 Members Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yep, my band Deltanaut is this way, works pretty well Meaning I typically play in one tuning and the other guitarist in another tuning in the *same* song which is what the OP meant I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RSBro Posted February 28, 2011 Members Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yes, but it's quite easy.We play mostly in drop C but tune up to D std. (which is just a step up on the E for you n--bs ) for 1-2 songs and is easy as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tlbonehead Posted March 1, 2011 Members Share Posted March 1, 2011 Try being left handed, I ALWAYS have to bring an extra guitar to a gig incase something happens to mine, there's no guarantee another lefty will be there for me to borrow a guitar.I usually have four onstage for a gig.

Members tlbonehead Posted March 1, 2011 Members Share Posted March 1, 2011 I can see how {censored} that sounded. Circumstance though: we play 7-9 songs...30 minutes total. I have one cheaper guitar, my strat and LPC. It sucks to say, but smaller shows in Chicago is when {censored} gets stolen...and i definitely don't want to chance it with my LP. So the reason it sucks is that I hate having to worry about nice gear. Its why im on a quest for another cheapish guitar. just messin'. In that situation it might be an inconvenience.

Members Thy God Posted March 1, 2011 Members Share Posted March 1, 2011 Not really... closest would be when I played 7s and the other guy played 6s. Tuned the same, std E, just that I also had a low B. Was annoying when I wrote something I wanted to play, but the part under it needed the 7th string. Was also funny though when I'd write something I couldn't even play, and I could just go, "Nope, that's your part. The part under it needs the low B, so I guess I'll have to do that." That's been the setup in both of my real bands. (Except in Revengeance it was Eb and in Abnormality it's C#) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
