Tuning guitars is no fun at all. Why can't they just be push button? I shoulda been a pianist. At least we have finally gotten all the loose ends tightened up, now that Brooks is playing bass. The Tuning issues have been addressed and a compromise has been reached. Last night we jammed on the new tuning and everyone was impressed with the new sound. I can't wait to write new material. I've been playing much more guitar lately and I have a toilet bowl full of bad ideas!
Tuning 1 (low to high)
Bb
F
Bb
Eb
G
C
Tuning 2 (low to high)
Bb
F
C
F
A
D
The last tuning is just two damned cool to get rid of. I know that the two are very similar and the songs that use Tuning 2 could easily be transposed to Tuning 1, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
At least now there will be more uniformity to our guitar sound, and all the songs from the old tuning just sound way heavier and more evil. Drop C, the old tuning, was sounding like every Hardcore/Metalcore shit band that you see on Headbangers Ball. Not at all what we are interested in. I feel like Ground:Xero has a lot more potential than we put forth. But now I feel as if I have to prove to myself that I know "guitar", and that I am indeed more "metal?" than pretty much anyone. Just remember: My dad could absolutely, undeniably, kick your dad's ass!
