Mark does do some big stretches. He has huge hands, I think

Re: Alter Bridge/Creed/Mark Tremonti Tuning Master List
I think it is some form of a G# tuning on the 7 string, but I don't know which. It could be:
- A true Drop G# - the low G# with a half-step down tuning on the other six strings (G# D# G# C# F# A# D#).
- A Drop G# with Drop C# - the low G# with a Drop D half-step down tuning on the other six strings (G# C# G# C# F# A# D#).
- A C# Standard tuning with a low G# - this would follow the normal course of standard tuning, one and one-half steps down (G# C# F# B E G# C#).

We need to decide on one use for the title "drop tuning". To me, drop should be dadgbe, cadgbe, etc. And the cgcfad would be referred to as drop d and one step down.

Re: Alter Bridge/Creed/Mark Tremonti Tuning Master List
According to mark via Twitter 7 string down a step and a half.
Re: Alter Bridge/Creed/Mark Tremonti Tuning Master List
Hardly. It would be better than someone saying Drop B and youre wondering if they mean BADGBE or BFBEGC. Or as evidenced by the 3 versions of the tuning for 7 string listed above. It would be far less confusing this way.Dolo wrote:Why? Makes things more complicated.

Re: Alter Bridge/Creed/Mark Tremonti Tuning Master List
I think it is widely established that Drop B is BF#BEG#C#, Drop C CGCFAD, Drop D DADGBE etc. If you say Drop D 2,5 steps down I have to spend some time figuring out what notes that would be from low to high. The one I mentioned is much more intuitive. If somebody mentiones BADGBE as Drop B they should specify what they mean.Kreuger wrote:Hardly.

My Champion is most likely Eb Standard.
Crows on a wire (preview) sounds like Drop C. Since they've said that tuning would be used on the album. It could also be A#/G#.

Re: Alter Bridge/Creed/Mark Tremonti Tuning Master List
inb4 someone starts posting innapropriate tunings before release date!
Re: Alter Bridge/Creed/Mark Tremonti Tuning Master List
So from the Jasta interview on Cradle to the grave Myles used "G minor" open g down a whole half step with b down to bb. Mark uses a crazy tuning on This side of fate. Also Myles on Show me a leader is drop db.

Re: Alter Bridge/Creed/Mark Tremonti Tuning Master List
A whole half step. Thats so confusing to me even after 7 years of playing. Do you mean, a whopping, half step? Or a step and a half.
Thanks Timo!

Honestly I'm confused on that one too, those were his exact words unless I heard wrong.austinjhnsn wrote:A whole half step. Thats so confusing to me even after 7 years of playing. Do you mean, a whopping, half step? Or a step and a half.
Re: Alter Bridge/Creed/Mark Tremonti Tuning Master List
Crows on a wire = Drop C (Mark said they used Drop C instead of B/C# on this album)
The Writing on the Wall = Lowest note is A#, so it's either played on a 7 string half step down or Drop A# 6 string
Poison in Your vains = sounds like Drop C as well
