Two possibilities suggested by a top string manufacturer are: 1) Gauges: .011, .014, .018, .028, .038, .049 Balanced for detuned setups, offering just the right tension for a drop to C# standard. 2) Gauges: .010, .013, .017, .030, .042, .052 *(hybrid set)* Slightly *lighter top* for solos but with *thicker bass strings* for punchier low notes.
Different tunings are another reason why I prefer a tele to a strat, and why I think it's a more versatile instrument, even though it appears not to be at the first glance. Although, my strat is permanently tuned down half a step because that just sounds better to me on a strat.
I always play in Standard Tuning (strats in E#) and it never occurs to me to tune down a regular guitar til I pick up my baritone, and then I forget about it til the next time. I have plenty of extras so I'm making a pledge to move a couple down a few steps and spend some time experimenting with alternate tunings. (Just not the Robert Fripp one because it made me angry and insane last time). Excellent vid Sir!
I sometimes do these experiments, but i have to set truss rod too. On my 52 tele it is not so easy and fast, i do it with another tele. I agree about chose single coil pickup for these tuning if you still want to rest defined
I am a big fan of the Karnivool tuning. It is lowest B, F#, low B, G, high B, and E. Check out the track "Themata". Just huge sounding, interesting chords. Anyway, C# standard. It is said that Tony Iommi played this tuning with 9s or 10s. On a Gibson SG. So, that 24.75 scale, and then dropped down to C# standard? No wonder "Children of the Grave" sounds so good!
Aayyy, I’m a huge fan of Karnivool too! I’m actually working on making an 8 string version of their tuning, I’m thinking I’m going to do C# F# C# F# D F# B E so it’s Karnivools tuning in F# instead of B and I have the extra high E and low C# strings
The jam at 5:20 mins you should definitely turn into a song. I love Shady Belle.
No fair!
You let the cat out of the bag about my favourite new timing!
It’s awesome!
Thanks Joey, that answers my question regarding the tuning for "Rise Again"........🙂
I Love Rise Again. Brilliant song Joey!
Damn man. That jam was amazing. I hope it gets turned into something longer. Nice job!

Since I bought your tab, I play this riff on my Baritone guitar in B standard! Sounds great!
great!

Sounds so rad, I love it. 🤘

@matthewbehrle4428 , that sounds interesting.
I ADORE Karnivool. Sound Awake is one of my favs albums.
Shoot, I totally forgot about them! I have two of their CD’s too, Themata and Sound Awake. Time to go down the rabbit home again!
@@IGrocker, I would buy their latest, *Assymetry*, as well. It is like a mix of their other two, sound-wise.

What is your signal chain ?
Could you try the tim Henson ernie ball new signature 9.5s down tuned like this?
It's nice to see how you just forget yourself in jamming! 🙂
i prefer "D-standard" tuning seems to be the "sweet spot" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :)
Mark Zuckerberg's got the chops.
IMHO it's the 2nd best, number 1 being Drop C#. With 9 - 42 strings, of course.
I’m a drop C# guy too, I use 11-52’s though.
