| The Wood-Shed (Formerly known as 'riffs, chops, and licks') Every guitarist spends time in the ole wood-shed, jammin, blasting through scales and modes, and basically just choppin away on the ole fret board. You wanna share a scale or mode? A tab? ask a question? Well, this is the place! |

Drop tuning Q's
on the 28th I will be playing electric rhythm two songs.
O Worship The King-G Your Grace Is Enough-A For "O Worship" I normally play the big power G. I was wondering if doing an alternate tuning would make this sound really powerful. I'm thinking along the lines of a Creed like tone. When drop tuning do rhythm guys normally play a string or two at a time or are there chords like standard tuning?

a G chord in normal drop D or even drop C tuning wouldn't sound any different....
now if you had a 7 string guitar you could play a G with the fifth on the bottom which would sound huge... I don't think you'd end up with the result you're looking for.... get your bass guitar player to come in with you on that G and it will sound big allready...

Drop tuning is usually an option when you are trying to play in D or C or even B... (some guys even lower) The idea is to get down that extra step or two where the lowest string wouldn't normally reach... Easiest example would be in the key of D... If you drop the lowest E string by a whole step, it becomes a D as well, so it sounds nice and big...
Does that help?
