I can't believe you guys play in Eb all the time . I was in a band once and we tried it just to bring the songs down to where the singer could stay in key and it sucked . Made everything sound like it was being played on 33. instead of 45 . I guess if its originals its different . Dirty scary sounds good and its down a 1/2 . So I guess it just depends on what your doing with it. Ya'll be sure and record some of this stuff for those of us who won't be there. You can doctor the sound and make the tele sound good  |

I think rock and metal music just sounds better down a half or whole step. Classical guitar, acoustic pickstyle and most other guitar style types I like in standard though.
Doing it for a singer is the dumbest thing ever. I think thats some myth someone said years ago and people just kept saying or trying it. If your singer can't sing something in E .. hes not going to be able to sing it in Eb either. Its only a semi-tone difference.

Its only a semi-tone difference. yeah, it's really not THAT big of a difference as far as a singer being able to hit the notes..but hard rock and metal just sounds alot meaner.. and for me, it opens up my legato and vibrato alot more..especially playing standing up, which makes me suck by geometric leaps and bounds to begin with...me likey Eb!!! |

I'm still debating on bringing a shred guitar or a tele with me. Are you faygs gonna all be tuned half step down? I will be....I hate standard tuning Same here. I go back and forth sometimes but I am too used to the looseness of Eb tuning since my band switched to that about 4 years ago. |

I tried Eb for about a year, hated it. But, I played in standard for probably 12 years before that. And about 11 after that little experiment.
...so now this other band I'm trying out for is in Eb, of course.

Yeah I thought we would tune to Eb to be able to sing certain songs easier live but it really doesn't make much of a difference. It actually made some songs more difficult to sing because i was used to standard. I agree that for rock and metal it makes it sound much more mean. I tune to D or C# sometimes and I love that sound but it gets to slinky to play with .10 gauge strings. |

I have one guitar tuned to C# , I have one tuned to Drop C#, one standard (which I also just drop the E for drop D when I need to), and one Eb now. I use 12's on the C# stuff...Ernie Ball makes a specific set for that. They are friggin' huge.
