the first part of this vid is so accurate, I tuned to FACGCE and was immediately like "hang on a sec... I don't know what the hell I'm doing here..."

2:02 that's actually what i love using alt tunings for. there's nothing wrong with standard tuning, it's great, it's practical, but i love the feeling of not quite knowing where i am on the neck and having no choice but to trust my hands and my ears to lead me, rather than any prior knowledge like i can get away with in standard

@BeardnScars 10 месяцев назад

Can’t thank you enough for making these vids. It’s like as an advanced emo guitarist you still help me with the exact style I’m always building. Kind of like martial arts! Your channel is a class for the upper belts of emo (:

Wow, I appreciate that you include writing in the tuning and what that's like, show the process of coming up with licks and diddlies, then put it together. Respect!! Not many youtubers actually create on the fly with what theyre teaching and it's inspiring! Cant stand the twinkly major seventh sort of pop punk interlude vibe it evokes, but it inspires me to try and mine more from it (i know this is the default sound of the tuning- thanks for showing us the C stuff!!) You've inspired me to tune here and play. Subscribed:)

@NichaelCramer 8 месяцев назад

One feature that I find helpful in playing in this (and other) tunings of this form is that basically the bottom three strings form an (open) F chord and the top three strings form (open) C chord -in this case the I and V of F Maj. That is, it’s easy to switch between two separate open (maybe drone-ish) bases in two different keys.

@kentrey 7 месяцев назад

Not trying to be disparaging or negative here. But this is a pretty paint by numbers approach to writing. I appreciate skill and technique, but when everyone's starting to sound the same in this genre, it's when it stops working for me. I loved TTNG and Covet, bands like that, but i can't tell them apart now, especially instrumental bands. Can't replace heart and soul. Technical is really showing its face more and more in music, and for me, it's moving away from what's important. I like feeling like I'm getting to know the player in the music. Now it's like: Okay. We all know you practiced a lot.

I use this tuning sometimee, but a whole step down. I use it more for riffing chords and some open chords. I even find myself playing variations of the I-IV-V-vi progression, but it sounds more intricate, a little difference.
