Members renula Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 I was thinking the exact opposite unless you were being sarcastic in which case we are on the same page. No sarcasm. Sometimes rock and roll needs a kick in the butt... with all the gagas, biebers, american idols and countless bands jumping the garage bandwagon, it seems pretty cool to have "the birthday party" showing them how it's done.

CGDA as in the C that's on the third fret of the A string? standard string gauges are .036 .024 .016 .010 and 23" scale so yeah, that sounds right.

Members Danox3 Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 standard string gauges are .036 .024 .016 .010 and 23" scale so yeah, that sounds right. alternative tunings:Octave mandolin tuning: GDAE"Guitar" tuning: DGBE other possible tunings:"Guitar" tuning, transposed up a fourth(uke tuning, but G is 1 octave lower): GCEASlide: CGCG, or DADA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dimaension X Posted February 25, 2011 Members Share Posted February 25, 2011 What a cool guitar - I like this one much better then the tiny electric mandolins I've seen him with. After listening to Grinderman and watching a bunch of live videos of them, I re-strung my main guitar with only four strings (in the middle four string positions) tuned to D-A-D-G. The idea of using only 4 strings completely changes the way you think about playing, both limiting your choices, and forcing you to play more "vertically". I'm also thinking that Warren likes the 4-strings since he's a violinist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everything can be muse or radiohead you know... Grinderman is really cool. Not music I'd have ever imagined that I would like, but they are cool. Your post is spot on.

Members Dimaension X Posted June 20, 2012 Members Share Posted June 20, 2012 i started as a bass player then learned guitar a few years later. this was in the late 90s and i still can't get my head around the B and top E strings being a semitone out of whack with the first four strings why can't the whole thing be tuned in fourths? it would make things so much easier. or 5ths, like violins, etc. (is New Standard Tuning in 5ths? - i had a play about with NST once but can't really remember much about it) NST - the "Frippian" tuning is really difficult to learn, and you really need a whole new set of strings, very heavy on the bottom, very light at the top. But I like forcing myself into unfamiliar territory like this every so often. I also did a whole album in C,G,C,G,C,D just to try something totally different. Here's a great website that has a fretboard diagram generator for weird tunings, etc. Go to the "Fretboard Printer" where you can plug in any tuning and 4-6 strings. Very cool. http://www.studybass.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bieke Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 heh, I just got one of these Eastwoods yesterday, I didn't even know how to play it at first but after a couple of minutes of trial and error I was playing some funny but great licks, so I just took it homelooks great, sounds eally good and perfect for those atonal Sonic Youth riffs. I don't know if Eastwood is still making this, but if you find one, give it a try, it's refreshing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
