However, a great song works better in some tunings more than others. Not that it's necessarily bad, but if for example you were to play Gojira's Ocean Planet in B the magic of it would be lost.

Tuning doesn't make a song heavy, the groove does.

@Gabrol 8 лет назад

+Luxorcist not 100% true tho, lower tunings does help with heaviness, but the groove is MUCH more important

@metalfreekz13 7 лет назад

Gabrol Depends on your definition of heavy. For me, fast is heavy, so songs like this that are fast, thrashy, and riff-oriented sound great in Standard Tuning. To some people, Djenty and groovy stuff is what they find heaviest, and it sounds best with lower tunings. So realistically, any tuning is heavy if the song is written well.

@nathanrixmann3016 8 лет назад

Dude for real. My Ibanez is baritone and it only sounds good in distortion, I couldn't in a million years play clean shit with it. I'm even .12 strings. The only way to make things like drop a and b sound audible is to have a 30 inch scale guitar. I miss having my Ibanez in standard so I'm going to tune it back up with some .10s and buy me a schecter omen

@jb_uwu 8 лет назад

+Nathan Rixmann I have a 25.5" scale Ibanez 7 string tuned to drop A all the time, and it sounds just as good clean as my 6 string tuned to E standard using .11's. I don't know what you are doing with your guitar but that doesn't seem right.

@jb_uwu 8 лет назад

+Jeroen de Bie I use .10 to .59 on the 7 string

@nathanrixmann3016 8 лет назад

Mines not a 7. The 6th string on my Ibanez is a .52. It is barely audible in clean. Mine is 25.5 as well, but the size of the string changes everything

@jb_uwu 8 лет назад

+Nathan Rixmann Yeah, downtuning doesn't work without going up on gauges or getting a longer scale length. but 25.5 isn't baritone as far as I know. and you can obviously put thicker strings on your ibanez.

Heaviness comes from syncopation and the rhythm. Not from tuning 9 strings down 5 tones.

@runaklem4428 8 лет назад

Heaviness comes from a large number of factors. Rhythm is only one of many.

@jonathanpennheim4752 8 лет назад

+David Oakes Heavy comes from weight. How large you are. How many pounds/kilos your guitars weigh. A Les Paul is heavier than a SG. Seventeen stampboxes are heavier than five. If you put all of those into one bag, you can barely lift it from the ground. Now that is heavy.

I wouldn't say "heavy" as with the traditional lower tuned guitars. However, I still think it was badass where, for one, you can actually hear every single note. And this is coming from a drummer.

@terrycornelius4 8 лет назад

Lower tuning doesn't make you heavier. It's just the creativity put into the riffs and solos. Your technique also affects how heavy you sound. Playing with bad technique makes it less tight and heavy. Playing with a good technique gives a very tight and heavy sound nearly every metal guitarist loves. So, great job! You rock!

@Vortexafternoon 8 лет назад

Well, look at what Billy Gibbons gets out of thin strings, hey! Also, with the kind of intricate playing you have, the definition you're getting in the tone assists in the transmission of melody. Some metalcore guys are beautiful players, but their tone actually hides their playing. Keep doing this stuff. It rocks.

@haraldeavtraches1598 8 лет назад

+Vortex Afternoon Music I've been saying the same thing for years. I love down-tuning, but it feels like a lot of guitarists now can't quite find how low to tune for their particular style. It's a shame, because there are some truly great players in the 'djent' bands that have been coming out, but a lot of them tune so low, it's hard to even hear what they're playing half the time. This up-tuning, though, I'd like to hear more of this. I'm trying to imagine up-tuned DEP, since Weinman plays in standard already. Might try it myself later on.

@FunkywimHD 8 лет назад

+Ross whitby It would sound a bit phatter. When people say low tunings don't make you sound heavier, they're technically right. Lower tunings do mean more bass, and more bass (can possibly, depending on mixing) sound alot phatter and louder, which some people would classify as heavier.
