    I love it, all the way until you get to about G. Then, it kind of starts sounding muddy. Even on my 8. I dont really down tune it too far. For the sake of the top strings. If you look up "Internal Darkness by shrine of Malice" Theres a guitar cover on that song and it's literally just in standard tuning. Except for the top two strings. The 7th is in A and the 8th string is in E. Sounds brutal as shit. I almost think it is a matter of preference, feel, and a few other things. But, as far as down tuning to sound heavy. I think it's just a matter of how you utilize your instrument. Each tuning definitely does add its own spice to the mix though.

    I have an 8 string that I rarely play bc I really haven't found a good use for it yet. Somehow low-tuned 6 strings are just more my vibe, I guess.

    @@NicolasPerrault I totally get that. Low tuned 6 strings are bad ass. I do most of my playing on an 8 string. But, weirdly I barely even touch the top strings while playing. I think I almost just like the feel of them more. The size of the fret board in general. I like to play more melodic, harmonic soloy stuff. I feel cured. Everytime I try to groove like you, it sounds like horse shit. Lol.

  • @NicolasPerrault
    @NicolasPerraultАй бұрын

    That's a tough one. There's "fast" and slow. I'd say for a fast track try anything between 120 and 140, and for a slow track between 80 and 100. Now there are also suuuuuper slow tracks, that border on drone and some mid-tempo ones, but I feel these are good starting points.

    I put some heavy gauge strings (52-11) on a cheap jazzmaster copy to tune down to somewhere around C and stuff, though nicely distorted, sounds rather neat and ‘tidy’, so true that the standard strings tuned down make a ‘messier’ but also more interesting sound…making heavy and intense ‘scary’ music depends on dissonance, that’s why a lot of ‘heavy’ bands of late sound more like eurotrash productions to me 😂😂😂
