I play with standard tunning, but most of my compositions are in Drop D as well... easier to play my kind of metal that I love... but like both tunnings...
Change the program inside... Stay in silence is a crime.

The guitar is A-E-A-E-A-E at the moment, jamming out some weird stoner riffs Tongue
And the bass is 1,5 steps down (C#-F#-B-E) to play along with Sabbath's heavier songs Smile

D-D-Aa.

It's a dulcimer.
Otherwise, my bass is tuned D-D (I play very primitive music).

I don't know what my guitar is tuned to at the moment. It's probably out of tune. It's the Post Metal thing to do.

I've got my Danelectro tuned (low to high) GGCEAE right now.  The two lowest strings are in unison.

Before that, it was DADFAE

My basses are either in standard tuning or cello tuning (CGDA).  I've started to prefer cello tuning.

E standard, but I've been experimenting with CGDACF on an acoustic. It's like Guitar Craft Standard (Robert Fripp doesn't want it to be called NST anymore) for the lazy man, or something like that. Maybe I should call it Guitar Craft Modal? Wink

My guitar is tuned, from low to high, Bb, Bb, Db, Bb, B#, and the high E is ripped, so I can make vibrating sounds with it (ask Joel). I tuned it based on joke tablatures on the Uncyclopedia thread about Progressive Rock. I intend to make those tabs possible (69th fret win!), and I will upload it here.
