It is sad to say but the youngsters just don't have the upper body strength to tune up to E.


fuzzyfigment

I got arthritis typing this with my pointer finger


overcloseness

Your blooz root note finger?


fuzzyfigment

speak up libral


Chimchampion

The blues suck, boomer. Heavy hometown new wave is where it's at


fuzzyfigment

oooo I love that the weekend new wave single too


meteor713

They gotta drop their tuning so they don't drop their guitars SMH


RagingStallion

SOYBOY tuning


Rough-Leg-1298

Millennials are like 40 lol


Mojicana

There was some 90's band called Grunge that played in drop D a lot


fuzzyfigment

uj/ best comment


TheBeefDom

I remember them. They were famous for tuning their guitars with heroin.


TheGuyInDarkCorner

There was also some late 60s band that played in C# standard a lot


village-asshole

The best tuning is Fb A B Cb G## D


fuzzyfigment

Did your keyboard mess up? You were going to type your the best tuning, but then you started typing random letters?


village-asshole

Nah man. I accept that I’m a dumb c*nt, but that doesn’t make me wrong that this is the tuning of the guitar Gods. Jammi HandTrix is smiling down upon me right now 😎


fuzzyfigment

Speak English, liberal.


village-asshole

Ahhh, you no understan my Engrish?


fuzzyfigment

whoa whoa, it's not 2007, Kevin. cool it.


village-asshole

Alright Francis, lighten your toan a bit


fuzzyfigment

Why I oughta...


village-asshole

You smart aleck (wtf is an aleck anyway?)🤔


fuzzyfigment

Aleck Baldwin, 🔫


xtheory

I find that when I can't be created enough to 0-3-5 my way through an album, I just smash my guitar on the floor till it detunes and play that tuning from there on out.


South_Highlight_6574

G##? I believe you mean Ab#


village-asshole

Ah shit, thanks for helping me out. Theory really fucks with my toan so I try to ignore it. But I think whether it’s G## or Ab# really depends on if you’re on a Fibson Less Paw or Femder Stratosphere. If you’re on a 1902 Washington Parlor body, it’s a Dbbbbbb# 😎


LightninHooker

I once went to a jam and the guy gave me a guitar in drop D or some shit I tuned the fat string badly and then I played a 12 minutes solo Good shit. Next time the guitar was tune in standard and played 14min solo. No lessons learnt


fuzzyfigment

The lesson is to tune up again next time and play a 16 minute solo. That'll teach him.


BwAVeteran03

E Standard is boring and you know it. Get with the times and tune to Drop C, like the rest of us Gen X’s are doing.


fuzzyfigment

I thought Gen x only relatively tuned for the perfect grunge toan


doomtoothx

I channeled the ghost of cobain and he told me that optimal tuning is B# f d A# e g.


fuzzyfigment

the optimal tuning is what? you just typed a bunch of letters. the optimal tuning is eddy ate dynamite, good bye eddy.


doomtoothx

I mean it’s cobain. Chances are he was pretty high.


somewhiterkid

Nah, drop Z is where it's at grandpa


gawdzilla666

Millennial are pushing 40 how much dirt do you sleep in grandpa?


fuzzyfigment

you'll be pushing daisies if you be mean again, go eat your participation trophy, bucko.


0CDeer

Listen gramps, if Soundgarfen hadn't invented drop D in 1992 then Ernie Von Hailen would never have put the De-Tuna (dunno why he called that, but it smells like my wife's boyfriend's fingers) on his PeeVee Wolfstangs and I wouldn't have been able to justify buying one with it and one without it, so fuck off. Ps, difference in toan between the two is UNREAL!!!


fuzzyfigment

God bless America


apropostt

I feel like most of the guitarists you listed played most of the time in Eb standard. Sort your jerking out.


fuzzyfigment

Eb is an egg brand, not a tuning, genius.


apropostt

That's how they tuned back in the day with eggs!


fuzzyfigment

That's why eggs make me feel down


sammiemack

Would you like an egg in these trying times?


fuzzyfigment

You can afford eggs? Do you live in a mansion?


josephallenkeys

People older than you, Boomer, played in all sorts of weird ass tunings that'd turn your carp filled fish pond inside out.


fuzzyfigment

Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of your landlord evicting you. Sorry.


josephallenkeys

What's that? You couldn't hear me over the sound of your Accountant telling you that you should keep something aside for your kids instead of spending it on swingers weekends in Barbados!?


fuzzyfigment

I kicked my son out as soon as he turned 18. Now he's a alcoholic military vet in a homeless shelter. Unlike you millenials, my generation grew up with the spank, and the gym junk inspections.


josephallenkeys

Wait. You're Lieutenant Dan's Dad!?


fuzzyfigment

It's actually pronounced Gary Sinise.


gawdzilla666

/uj is a gym junk inspection what it sounds like?


fuzzyfigment

👀 why you interested


dumbass6669

If you tune up your dentists les Paul to standard the headstock will shear right off. Kids today could learn a thing or two about the importance of 3000 dollars if you ask me


fuzzyfigment

My dentist is in a djent band and only plays Kiesels and custom shop ESPs.


Reasonable-Newt-8102

One time this random dude was trying to jam with me in 432 hz tuning. He was like damn this sounds like shit and I was like no shit dude you’re literally in a fake hippie tuning


Musicman_68champ

I love me some pinch harmonicas


Tall-Resolution2144

I don’t tune my guitar. Everyone has to tune there’s to match mine.


fuzzyfigment

This guy toans.


gawdzilla666

Hol up is this an option?


Tall-Resolution2144

I don’t Tune, I TOAN.


Noiserawker

Worked for Sonic Youth


chr1st0ph3rs

If you make the biggest one floppy enough, you only really need the one finger. I don’t understand why this is not the standard of tunings


[deleted]

I tune "Oops! All Es!" EEEEEEEE but it's an 8 string because I need that variety.


somewhiterkid

Well actchually Daveëd Gil More used deop D on Goodby blue sky so your rong lol


fuzzyfigment

on dogs too, liberal


somewhiterkid

That doesn't count! It uses open cords!!


fuzzyfigment

tHaT dOesNt CoUnT


evan_brosky

OP why are you grooming children


ClownShoeNinja

Tuning is for flowery bitches who can't rock without "functional tools". My cat died 27 years ago, but her guts still sound perfect when I riff that Eb dim9. (A MAN'S chord.)


[deleted]

Hipsters started pissing about with tunings and it's made the rest of us look terrible ever since, i'm ashamed to say. With the advent of the man-bun and rise of Hipster, unfortunately, we have to relent, some of them actually knew what they were doing and popularised stupid tunings. This was helped by the rise of YouTube's prevalanece in our society, allowing idiots to connect to others, and also things like covid, forcing us to only have entertainment from idiots available for extended periods. Now we live in a bizarre age, where the campfire hipster, usually relegated to a cadd9/em7/dsus/g medley, is now able to play four chords but give them a more mystical earthy sound by fucking about with the tunings. We gotta up our game


fuzzyfigment

Please don't bully me


watchyourtonepunk

be like Zappa or The Prodigy and do songs in 1/4 tunings 🧠📈😎


fuzzyfigment

Why have only 1 of 4 things when I can have 4 of 4 things?


CowboyVirgin

Guitars have 6 things, you're thinking of a bass


fuzzyfigment

Well, I got one thing and two balls, if ya catch my drift


unsilent_bob

One should never skimp on strings......it will hurt your toooooooaaaan..


Lukinzz

Back in my day.....lol


gooddocile68

I stay tuned to 101.1 wcbs. It sounds pretty good.


fuzzyfigment

tune to 97.9


CeldonShooper

Take a trip to the green island by tuning to DADGAD.


Secretly_Solanine

/uj I get some good laughs out of this sub, thanks guys


Anderson74

fuzzyfigment

Anderson74

My genny plays drop D and drop D only hittin that 0 0 0 000 0 0 all day long


fuzzyfigment

Anderson74

/uj LOL that’s lit /rj this is supposed to be a jerk subreddit not a “my truth” subreddit


fuzzyfigment

stop using all that Arabic lettering a speak up, liberal


Anderson74

I SAID THE DEFTONES SHAPED THE WAY MUSIC IS MADE RIGHT NOW EVEN DUA LIPA CAN THANK DEM BOYS


fuzzyfigment

I went deaf listening to them be quiet and drive more like yell and park


Revenge_of_Recyclops

Probably.


RTH1975

Tuning? That ain't rock n Roll! Sid Vicious never tuned, so why should I?


fuzzyfigment

Ah yes, Sid Vicious. Truly a person in our time.


TheLurkingMenace

You had me going there for awhile.


Syanth

E standard is for nerds and tuning is hard. I play E on all of my 8 strings.


TheRebelMastermind

Your nerd score is 8. Very good!


Mont_918

I play in D standard, ya corpse, get with the times Is your wife's boyfriend treating you well?


fuzzyfigment

The only band to ever play in D standard is Sepultura. Play Nomad right now, kiddo.


TheRebelMastermind

Kids nowadays know nothing about toanwood. All their guitars are covered in polly wich doesn't allow them to breathe. If anything we can learn from yoga is that you have to breathe. That's why they all suffer from pollyphia and other weird diseases.


fuzzyfigment

I suffer from rareform and ligma


Ancient-Leg7990

Im dropping the D all the time. Problem is nobody ever wants to pick it up....


skinisblackmetallic

I don't listen to classic rock because it's racist.


rtdragon123

Technically we should be tuning to 432hz instead of 440hz.


OGfishm0nger

Yeah but then I would need to pay for a new setup, so…


rtdragon123

Why it's not that far off and actually sounds better. It wasn't till the 19th century i think pianos were tuned to 432hz not 440hz.


Fabbezlg

I'm a zoomer and i tune my guitar in E standard! My bassist is pissed and says i'm in "his teretory" or whatever.


Aromatic-System-9641

I did one recording in E flat. It was great for me to sing the song, but a bitch to keep in tune. Btw, a lot of artists use various tunings. Sometimes it’s easier to play.


fuzzyfigment

speak up libral


Aromatic-System-9641

Btw I’m 61 years old. Definitely no liberal here.


fuzzyfigment

sorry u a dummy have a nice day


Aromatic-System-9641

You’re the one who can’t spell. See ya….
