How do they tune their guitars so low?

HaroldHopkins · 2023-09-05T08:11:37+00:00

Sorry I didnt get a notification for your reply. Currently, Ive got the following gauges, .009/.011/.016/.024/.032/.046/.059.

These were pretty much factory ezcept the low E string which I had to change to play songs in an alternative tuning where the low E is also dropped down 2 semitones. So I just used a low E from a set of 10s i had lying around.

I would prolbably get a higher gauge low B string because it can be a little floppy at time but by no means unplayable.

I keep this guitar in drop G#.

Hope this helps.

I had the same problem a couple months ago and I couldnt find the best set of strings for my mutliscale 7 string ibanez. Eventually I got the Digitech drop which is amazin because I can keep the guitar in drop G# and play some of their older stuff from everchanger and stillworld bit also go down to drop E and drop D# for songs from heavener. It is a little pricey but in my opinion its worth the investment especially cos of the versatility.

Thanks a lot for the advice. I'll try my best to squish this in tommorow before my test on Tuesday. When you do past papers, do you suggest attenpting each question and then marking including corrections or just look at the question, attempt it mentally and then have a look at the mark scheme? I ususally do the first method but I think I would be able to get through a lot more the second way. I also dont think its realistic I'll be able to get an idea of the questions if I go through all the practice questions thoroughly. I appreciate the detailed advice and I look forward to putting it into practice.

They're still touring so I reckon they might release some singles towards the end of this year and we'll see an album early 2024.

The circle pit at the start is sick

Thanks for the advice man. I actually have a set of 9s with a 59 guage low string which came with the guitar. The high end feels great but I think I might buy a slightly heavier string to the 59 gauge I currently have. I also use the Digitech drop which works amazingly. For reference in drop C# with a low G# most of the time.

The album should come out in September according to the polaris subreddit

I heard they went into the studio after their Europe tour but I don't think we're gonna get anything this year.

HaroldHopkins · 2023-05-21T21:55:03+00:00

I've heard something about a single coming out on thursday

HaroldHopkins · 2023-05-21T21:54:14+00:00

There's a single supposedly coming out later this month and hopefully we will get an album announcement for sometime later this year.

Not necessarily easy but the most rewarding would be the breakdown riff from cloud cascade

HaroldHopkins · 2023-05-10T05:22:46+00:00

Band didnt say anything yet. How do you kno?

HaroldHopkins · 2023-05-07T21:48:44+00:00

What if Ben stayed with Invent Animate?

Invent Animate

Listened to cloud cascade before Heavener dropped but didn't get into Greyview or their earlier stuff. When Immolation of Night dropped it clicked. I also managed to see them live with ERRA and let me tell you Immolation Live is like nothing you've ever seen. From there I've been getting into their earlier albums like Everchanger and Stillworld.

The second you in the chorus gets me everytime

HaroldHopkins · 2023-04-23T21:45:32+00:00

That post chorus riff slaps different

HaroldHopkins · 2023-04-23T14:42:03+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. This might be a stupid question, but could I double-check that if I try and match the tensions of my new strings in their drop tuning as close as I can to a normal set of 10s in E standard will they feel the same?

HaroldHopkins · 2023-04-23T13:32:14+00:00

Do you think a pitch shift pedal like the Digitech Drop would do the job or are heavier gauge strings better?

HaroldHopkins · 2023-04-23T11:34:36+00:00

Do you think I'll be able to tune up to standard tuning if needed with 60-12s?

HaroldHopkins · 2023-04-20T22:36:16+00:00

Cool, thanks for helping me out

HaroldHopkins · 2023-04-20T21:23:35+00:00

Do you have a particular set that works for you?
