BADGBE

[Uncle_Milton]

I'm infatuated with this tuning right now. I've been listening to soundgarden a lot and have started messing around with some of my stuff in it. However, I am curious to see what others have done with the tuning.

 

Can anyone recommend any longs or groups that have utilized it?

....do you mean DADGBE?

I have never used BADGBE.

 

I did however post a song on here, Crystal, a while ago. In that song I used B F# D G B E. The array of sounds and deep chords you get with a drop B tuning is really neat. I like to do very complex multipart guitar parts, so being in an open tuning makes it much easier to play the stuff I come up with. Not to say I don't use standard or drop D tuning, but if a tuning makes something easier to play, why not use it?

 

This is not the same as using a capo, which is for pansies. Real men use bar chords.

i think that's the tuning alter bridge used on "in loving memory".
