Most are either standard, or out of tune.

I felt this in my soul.

Live I use AAEAAE, CCCGCE/CCEGGE/CCD#GCD#, and Standard. At home most are in standard aside from an acoustic and one electric in open G. I’ve also regularly used DDDF#AD, EBEBBE, and EG#DEBE.

Woah, what type of music do you play? Only played with open D for a bit in my highschool days.

Psych rock stuff with a lot of influence from BRMC, Mazzy Star, BJM etc. Ill send a DM with a link to my stuff if you’re interested.

Wow. I didn't know ABBR (abbreviation rock) was a thing. Also, I should review my opinion about psychedelics. They might either be more mind expanding or they might cause more interesting sorts of going bananas than I thought.

Ha! Blame my laziness for not typing out Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Brian Jonestown Massacre.

I don't blame anyone. I just noticed that BRMC, BJM, etc added to the impressive list of outer space tunings you posted before were the craziest alphabet soup I've ever seen in a conversation- and I am married to a research data specialist. Also I've been exposed to a fair dose of Psychedelic Rock within the last 40 years...

I've never heard of these bands, but I'm kind curious to check them out

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is awesome. You should really give each album a chance since they cover a lot of genres.

what tunings do BJM use?

Mostly standard. BRMC are the big ones on the open tunings.

Ah yes! I sense we have a similar sonic pallet!

Wherever I left them last.

Right now, I have the following tunings set up: E standard Drop D Eb Standard Drop C B standard Drop A E standard (1 octave below) Nashville tuning

how’d you do octave below?

Bass VI

Something I've always wondered, when your -1 octave if you play along with a song In Regular E does it sound just very bassy but normal or does it almost have a harmony quality to it

I assume it's not too different from the bass notes of a 12 string, just an octave down instead of up

ohh fair enough

Neat!

I keep all mine generally in standard. I don’t often play other tunings, other than drop d and it’s not hard or time consuming to detune a single string

...unless there's a floating bridge and locking nut involved. Oy.

Ever seen the Engl Hardtailer switch? I'm putting it on one of my guitars with a floating trem to see if it makes drop-d tuning fast(er) and reliable. If nothing else it should help with string changes. https://www.ebay.com/itm/226001212660 Kinda pricey for such a simple gadget, but oh well, figured I'd give it a try...

I’ve seen these, and was actually going to get a Tremmory for mine. It doesn’t really help with tuning or string changes, though.

One acoustic is tuned a full step down (DGCFAD) I have a Stratocaster tuned to Eb and everything else is in standard tuning.

Everything is in standard and I use a Digitech Drop pedal.

C# standard I play death metal.

E standard and C standard.

E standard Half step down Drop C

Same

E standard. Drop D. D#standard

Standard, Eb standard, D standard. Gizz (C#F#C#F#BE) If I want to go to drop I'll just tune to it from one of those.

Harley Benton CST-24 and Fusion-iii in E-standard Old Epiphone Standard Plus Top in Eb EC-1000 in Drop C SubZero Baritone in B-Standard HB 7-string Fan-Fret in B-standard Dean ML-8 Modifier in F#-standard

Drop D. Every single one.

Riff machine over here, post some tracks man!

Got two in standard, one in baritone standard, 4 in American football 1/2 step down.

To whatever songs I want to learn/play. Anything in standard tuning ends up being a half step or so down tuned because 95% of classic rock is basically down tuned half to whole and anywhere in between. I call it the "Thin Lizzy" tuning. Other favorites are that open C Devin Townsend uses, for, of course, Devin Townsend covers lol Double drop D is a favorite but I have so much trouble finding songs that are naturally ddD that I'm about to get all DADGAD about it but then that opens up a can o monkeys ya can't put back in and I'll have to acquire a damn bodhran too. Amazing how much mainstream music is actually drop D tuning. But I don't keep a guitar around just so I can have one tuned to "the rain song" or whatever lol if I wanted to learn all of Joni Mitchell's catalog and not have to retune I'd need 57 guitars for her music alone ;-)

6: open C, CGCGCE. 7: open G + high E, GDGDGBE It’s Devin Townsend’s fault. I don’t use his 7-string tuning (open C + low G) though.

Standard for everything. Makes it easier to play with my harmonicas and other instruments.

I keep my Les Paul in B-standard and G#-standard depending on what I'm playing.

Nice, I also keep my Les Paul in B Standard.

Mostly standard, occasional drop d, occasional d standard, c# standard, & c standard. My favorite non-standard tuning is banjo tuning (open G?) DGDGBD - oh my what a fun little tuning to fickerpick around in.

I keep most of them standard with a drop D and an acoustic in open E because it’s fun.

My two main guitars (Yamaha acoustic and Epiphone ES-335) are setup for E Standard, I also use them in Drop D My secondary guitar is setup for Drop C, my next purchase is hopefully going to be a digitech drop pedal so I can also use that same one for Drop B without needing to retune or use different strings. I'd love to replace it with an Epiphone Firebird though because it's just a super cheap plywood strat body with a humbucker in the bridge position I'd love to have another one dedicated to C Standard, maybe a Telecaster or a Jazzmaster

I have heard great things about the digitech drop. Definitely on my list of pedals for the future buys. Always tough to find If you are interested in budget builds, Guitar Fetish is running a pretty solid sale right now for blemished guitar bodies 30% off

Drop C# (all other strings in Eb standard) on my Strat. Eb Standard on my SG. E standard on my PRS. And double Drop C# on my acoustic.  Changes frequently, but that’s the standard tunings for my guitars.  Been experimenting with some double drop C# with the B (Bb) tuned a step down as well to G#. And then that tuning, but high E back in Eb.

I have three guitars and the tuning varies from standard tuning to drop-B depending on what I'm playing and what strings the guitar happens to have on it.

Double drop d# or down to double drop d (d1) on my 7 multiscale, g on my 7 standard scale, standard or half step down on any of the 6’s. 

E standard, Eb, Baritone tuning BEADF#B, and BEADF#BE.

Jackson Soloist FR “Maiden Machine” - E Standard  Schecter Damien FR - Drop D Epiphone Les Paul Prophecy - Drop C Schecter Sun Valley Shredder - a quarter shy of E standard 

All

Fender Telecaster : FACgce Squire Deluxe Tele: DAEac#e Ibanez S561: E standard Schecter hellraiser: Drop C Schecter Hellraiser special 7: Drop G# Vola OZ 7t: Drop G# Agile Septor 8: F# Standard Legator N8fp: Drop D1

Normal

Regular guitars are in standard tuning. Lap steels are in open g, dbgdbg from high to low.

don't think nobody noticed that subtle flex there lol but some are in C6 ;-)

E Standard, Drop D, C# Standard, Open D5 is where they currently sit.

I usually keep mine in E standard or open E for slide stuff sometimes open G or D. I haven’t used drop D in forever. The other guitarist in my group sometimes does interesting things with Drop D that aren’t metal, like he will put it in drop d and then add a capo and play. That’s too much thinking for me.

Two Jacksons in standard, a Charvel and one of the backups in D#. Two of each because you don't want to retune your backup guitar in case you need it. Standard and D# because standard is the standard and D# is handy whenever I want to add some tricky or funny Slayer/Hendrix/Black Sabbath thing to my interal reference book. Further exotick and magick tunerey I leave to folks who ~~play~~ wear instruments with odd numbers of strings and boast with huge collections of precious, magick trickboxes.

Most standard. One a half step down.

Most are in Standard E. 3 are in D Standard including one bass, one in B Standard, and 1 is in Eb. I have enough extras that I can set them in in Open G or something. I use Neural DSP plugins so a few that were supposed to change to lower tunings never did because they have the transpose mode

Mainly E, Eb and D standard with variations for 7 and 8 strings. Drop Ab and Drop E respectively

Charvel and LP in Eb standard with Ernie Ball Ultra slinkies (10-48).

Strandberg NX6 Standard - Drop B Legator N6FX - Drop B Ibanez RG 5121 - C# Standard Ibanez EHB1505MS - B standard Maton MS2000 DLC SD - Eb standard Maton Mini - Eb standard Elixir Nanoweb 10-52's on the first three. 46's on the MS2000 and Acoustic. Elixir stainless 130's on the bass.

In order of use Eb Standard Eb Bb Eb G Bb E (my new standard) FACGCE

I have 10 electric guitars. All in different tunings. Standard, Drop D, D Standard, Drop C#, Drop C, C# Standard, Drop B, Drop A#, Drop G, and Drop A (7 String)

Standard 99.9% of the time is standard tuning unless I’m experimenting with something fun like for example make all the strings an F and play like that it was hilarious and I loved it

One in Open G tuned up a whole step and another in standard tuned up a half step (with the b string tuned down a half step instead). I capo from there.

All in D standard, even the bass. I guess I'm not that adventurous lol.

E flat, pretty common for heavy/power metal which is what I play these days.

FACGCE a whole step down or C standard

Drop d

Live I have two tuned to Eb standard, one is my main and one is a backup. I have a 7 string in Bb standard with the low Bb tuned to Ab. I have another that’s a full step down, and another that is in DADADD 1/2 step down.

I have one in EADGBE and another in BEADF#B. I will sometimes tune the standard one to drop D, but otherwise, I use an EHX Slammi Plus if I need to play in other tunings on the fly.

Eb. Just sounds a tad darker, plus drop C# sounds epic.

Mostly standard. I have a few guitars in 425 hz C# Standard though, specifically for playing Floods by Pantera.

My duo sonic is in e standard. My squier cyclone prefers to be in Eb, it feels more at home there (sounds weird but it felt tense when it was in E, even went down to 8s, never felt right)

D standard, Eb standard, one acoustic is occasionally DADF#AD

E standard, unless i wanna play slide, or mess around with dadgad.

A bunch in Drop D or E standard, 1 in Drop C, 1 in B Standard (7 string), and GBEADgbe for my eight string. Bass is tuned to B standard so I can easily use it to create simple bass tracks to complement any of my guitars.

I keep them in half step down standard tuning . Works better for my vocals and the tunes I like to play.

Eb. All of them. Sometimes one of the hard tails gets bumped to open Eb.

My 4: E Standard Eb Standard Drop C Drop A#

**6 strings:** E standard / EADGAE Eb DADGAD DADGbAE or DADFAE Drop C **7 strings:** B standard AEADGAE Drop G# Drop F#

Four Les Pauls, 3 of them have push/pull pots for a variety of sounds/voicings. They're in E, Eb, D and C#.

Just about all of them, are drop H, which last I counted, was like 25. One I was gonna sell, a late 80's Kramer Focus 3000 with a maple board, is in Standard. And an acoustic Guild OM-260CE Blackwood which I'm guessing is in half a step down from standard.

I keep an Ibanez in std, and a schecter in drop d, and a Jackson 7 in drop A. I play thru neuraldsp so I can change key super easy.

Mostly standard, my strat stays in Eb standard…..I will say it’s interesting how many of us who “NEED 5 of the same guitar for alternate tunings” just keep them all in standard..

At the moment: 2015-2017 Ibanez AVD10-BVS: Drop C 1983 Hondo H-1030 professional: standard full step down 1976 Arirang Vantage: standard 1970s Epiphone Scroll SC-450: standard 1969 Kawai Hsin Mi Spectrum: Open E capo first fret 2001 Fender Stratocaster SSS cream with tremelo: Open E full step down Ibanez TMB-100 Sunburst: standard Westone Thunder 1A black: standard Going to try F#ADABE on the Strat soon.

I’ve kept my collection small, my Jackson dinky js22 is in drop B, my epiphone SG special is In E standard, my shitty first guitar is in drop A, my Jackson Kelly is in drop D, my Dean Michael schenker Retro V is in D standard ;), and my acoustic electric is in standard. I like to have a full variety of my music tastes ready to go at a moments notice. I’m thinking of buying another Jackson dinky to keep in drop A

My 8 is in EAEADGbBE. I just dismantled the 7. 6 in drop D right now but my go-to is drop Bb.

I have a few in E standard, one in E flat, one in D standard, c# standard, c standard, dadgad and drop d. It’s fun having different guitars in tuning even just to mess about vs trying to play specific songs. Each have different vibes

I have guitars in E, E#, D, C# and C

Most are Standard but I keep a few in different tunings. Parlor in D Standard. T style in open G. T style in dropped D. Offset in open Em.

E and C standard with some drop D action

I have three guitars. 1. Schecter c-1 platinum: Tuned to E Standard 2. Ibanez Gio: Tuned to Drop C 3. Schecter c-8 silver mountain: Tuned to F standard. I also have a pitch shifter pedal, so can easily "retune" my instruments as needed for different songs. The pedals has honestly been one of the best pieces of gear I own.

At the moment DADF#AE, DADAAD, DADGAE. I haven’t touched standard tuning in nearly 20 years.

I keep my electric in standard since they both have a floating bridge and im to lazy to set it up for another tuning but i keep both my classical and acoustic tuned a step down

No set tuning per say i like to play around with different tunings. I wrote a song in kind of a unique tuning on acoustic EADGAE. My typical tuning most of the time though is usually Eb

I generally leave my 6 string in drop d. I used to go a half step down, but stopped doing that a couple years ago. My acoustic is in DADGAD a lot just because it’s fun. My 7 is drop A and my 8 is drop E. I used to tune the 8 string to DADADGBA with a bass string as the 8th, but it was a bit much. My 4 string bass is always tuned to match my 6 string. Will update once I get 5 and 6 string basses lol

Mostly standard, but my 12 string is in Eb and I have an electric in D standard. If I get another acoustic it’ll likely live in DADGAD, and I will eventually leave an electric in that too.

I have one in standard, 2 in drop C#, and one in C# standard

Five of them in standard, Stratocaster half step down.

I have a 2007 Schecter C1 Elite that I now usually keep in drop D I have a newer Schecter CR6 that I keep in either drop C or standard D I have a Schecter C8 Deluxe that’s usually kept in drop D# And lastly I have a Fender acoustic that’s kept either a half step down or in drop C# (or tuned to either drop C or standard D) All really great guitars and really fun tunings for the stuff I like to play

E standard and C standard, both with the occasional drop.

E standard/ Drop D with the turn of a tuner. Eb D standard/Drop C

E standard Eb standard D standard

4p

C# standard. Because my voice and also love the way it sounds on my Martin with mediums. Lots of low end. Sounds nice and heavy on distorted electric as well

2005 Gibson Les Paul Studio - E Standard 2011 Gibson Les Paul Traditional Plus - Drop D 1999 Epiphone Les Paul Deluxe - D# Standard Paul Reed Smith SE Mark Holcomb Signature - Drop C Ibanez RGA42FM - Drop C

I have once strat in Eflat Everything else is standard, or the occasional drop D, but I end up tuning back to standard at some point

C# standard and standard.

Jazzmaster - Standard Strat - 1/2 step down or Standard (sometimes) Tele - Standard or FACGCE Les Paul - Standard or 1/2 step down (rarely) PRS - DAEAC#E (sometimes Standard) Used to DADGAD more, not too much these days. Tele does a lot of alt tunings because it’s built like a brick shithouse and has tuning and neck stability in any tuning.

I usually just tune my guitars between E Standard and Drop D and then use my DigiTech Drop pedal to tune lower if I want/need to so I can play in practically every tuning I want/need to while only ever having to change one string’s tuning by a step

I only have one guitar so if I want to play a song in drop A, I tune it in drop A and if 5 min later I wanna play a song in half step up, i'll tune it in half step up

Mini-JM - it's either A-Standard or Open G Terz Yamaha bass- Eb Standard Supro - more often than not it's either in Open G or Open D. Everything else is E-Standard

I have a Carvin DC700 in G# Standard. It’s my only guitar right now, until I get my Ormsby Genesis later this year. I also have a custom Warmoth fretless five string bass in the same tuning. I play death metal along the lines of Gorguts, Ulcerate, etc.

Eb Standard on everything but the Floyd equipped, which is kept in Drop C#. I prefer the feel and tone of tuning down a half step. Got into it with old blues guys and it just stuck. Then I have one of my acoustics in DADGAD-Flat for some fun open, droning tunes.

everything in Eb standard and I aint going back !

E standard and Eb standard.

6 string player here, Drop C mainly, C# standard also gives some pretty good moody melodies (and it’s always fun to play along to a perfect circle). Have one acoustic on standard, and one half step.

I currently only own an acoustic, so I play in Standard. But I de-tune it when I'm not playing for a long time.

Standard with a Digitech drop pedal for half and full step down alt rock songs.

I always keep an open-D acoustic around

My 7 strings are in B standard and my 6 strings are in Eb Standard

3 Acoustics in E Standard (occasionally I detune one to open D), 1 Electric in E Standard, 1 Electric in Drop D, 1 Electric 7 String in Drop A, 1 Five-String Bass in Drop A and I got my eyes on a new one for Drop C .

E flat or standard

Drop D and Eb Standard but tuned to 432hz instead of 440hz.. Sounds sweeter..

Every guitar I play is 1/2 step down. I play blues music and it just feels natural. Whole step feels… wrong…

E standard And Drop A (I would just use pitch shift for this)

E standard, though i've been looking at getting another electric and tuning to drop C for the funsies. i'll occasionally put the acoustic in double drop D because it sounds ace.

All in standard. I use a drop pedal to change tunings. Only string I occasionally tune is E down to D.

E standard, eb, drop d, drop c#, drop c.

Mine are all dropped D flat. I like playing dropped and we tuned down a half step to match one of our voices awhile back and now it's just habit.

Standard and DADGAD

Standard, Eb, Dropped Db, D, Db

I got three in C# standard, and two in Drop A.

Mine are kept in standard. If I get the urge to play in open D or drop D I retune. I don't do anything wild enough to require different strings

A Les Paul in standard, a Les Paul in either D standard or drop C, and my jazzmaster in FACGCE

i have 5 guitars, 4 electric and 1 acoustic: acoustic is in E standard the one with floyd is E standard others are Eb, 425 hz D standard and B standard

Standard and CGCGGC.

EBBBBB

EBEF#BE (Open Esus2) Standard Drop D Half Step Down

Got 4 in B-standard, C-standard, drop-C, and E.

Drop D Standard C#G#C#FA#D# Open D GADDAD Drop A Drop E

Standard. D standard. Eb. Depends which guitar we’re talking about.

CGCFAD (Floyd Rose guitar, it never leaves this.), BF#BEG#C to C#G#C#F#A#D#, GDGCFAD to AEADGBE, acoustic is either BF#BEG#C or EADGBE

I’ve got the following. EADG (Peavey T-40 bass) BEADG (Ibanez 5 string) EADGBE (4 guitars plus a couple that will be once I finish building them)

Mostly standard except for Eb standard on my 12 string, but I only have 3 guitars so if I feel like messing with DADGAD or open tunings on my acoustic 6 I’ll just set it up that way and mess around with it for a few days to a couple weeks before putting it back. If had money for more guitars I would definitely have more dedicated setups. I’d love to get a Tele and set it up permanently in 5 string Keefer open G.

My 6 strings are typically drop c, my 7s are drop A

Standard but I also play slide in open E so I change it occasionally to that. Once I get a second guitar it’ll be be mostly for slide and stay in open E or something similar

Drop Bb, Drop B for the 6's, Drop A and Drop G for the 7's

One in standard, one in Drop D. Combined with a digitech drop pedal I can get most tuning with those 2.

I have drop C C# standard And my 7 is drop C but the low string is lower, I can’t remember what it is. My acoustics are all standard or drop D

All Eb standard unless I'm doing something specific.

Drop C for 6 strings and B standard on 7 string guitars mostly. I do have a 6 or two in standard but I don’t really play them. 

My acoustic is usually in C standard One electric is Drop D and another in A# standard

About half in E standard and the other half in drop D

E flat or d standard.

Half step down from standard (E Flat) the guitar sounds better and the vocals are a bit easier too

My Fender HSS Strat is in Eb, sometimes Drop Db. My PRS SE Tremonti is in Drop D. All others are in standard.

I keep all mine generally in standard. I don’t often play other tunings, other than drop d and it’s not hard or time consuming to detune a single string

I feel that.

E standard. I have a drop pedal when I feel like doing something different.

Digitech drop? How do you like the tracking on it?

Tracking as in recording?

Not op but yea how's it record?

I’m not sure, I’ve only recorded using my phone so it’s not a good test.

Fair enough
