Members da_witch Posted October 10, 2005 Members Share Posted October 10, 2005 ..Hey all, Hope ya doing all right and stuff... Got a really stupid question, but what is the exact tuning for No More Tears of Ozzy Osbourne? I have several versions of this songs with different tunings, but I don't have the original around here. Is it tuned in D all the way, are the D and G half a step lower or what? I am getting confused here...on the internet I have found different tunings... I feel like a retard here...the bassline itself is not complicated, I just want to have the correct tuning.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members birdboy7007 Posted October 10, 2005 Members Share Posted October 10, 2005 I always just play it tuned half a step down, , and maybe dropped d, I can't remember that far. But for the main riff its down half a step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still doesn't help if you don't know the song tuning... I assume she doesn't have the song to hand.... Top of my head it's Db AB Db Gb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the pitches are correct, you're laughing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the pitches are correct, you're laughing The only trick with no more tears is the Db drone throughout most of the song. Sure you could do it in standard tuning, but it doesn't have the same force as the open string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mounds Posted October 10, 2005 Members Share Posted October 10, 2005 I'm pretty sure it's drop-d + 1/2 step; that's what it is for the guitar stuff, AFAIR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members da_witch Posted October 10, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 10, 2005 Originally posted by Weirdocat missy, you have a 6 string! use it! Darling, if I am correct (and I don't have the original song around here, will have to fix that) the main riff uses an open string as peddle(sp?) tone... Which is (in my opinon) essential for the tone colour of the main riff. Have a live version where it is played in D, another version where only the D and G where tuned half a step down and I think on the DVD it is played with all half a step down. So I was wondering about the original tuning!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thanks to the others ofcourse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members B-Bottom Posted October 10, 2005 Members Share Posted October 10, 2005 The BLS version is much better. I suggest learning that version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
