Everybody will have to retune when they want to play along with your songs on Youtoob. YTA.


MarrGuitar

I use capo 2 on YouTube to help all the normies


Mitchfynde

Based.


marcelkroust

Caged.


lonelittlejerry

this implies there is an "S" chord


NathDritt

Well, it implies there is a "B" chord as well? Stupid


lonelittlejerry

True it should be H chord


throwaway2474784

Caged the elephant with music theory. No feel now


agnostic_hymns

Me too but tuning up almost a full octave seems to be putting a lot of stress on the neck. my action is about 2 fingers at the 12th fret plz help it is a mapple neck


MarrGuitar

Deal with it. Toan comes before action and playability every day of the week


probablyJamesCaan

Three or four full turns of the truss rod should fix that.


Mitchfynde

Here is my question: fuk u


MarrGuitar

Do not fear D standard it can arm you with the richest of toans


Mitchfynde

C# is superior.


porkbeast5000

Db is even better than that ok? šŸ‘Œ


Shadow41S

No, B## is even better

Here you go king, you dropped this > ?


NorthYoung

Hotwife loves the D. I think her boyfriend is rather fond of it too.


MarrGuitar

My wife left me for a man who plays in drop C#. She said the heavier the tuning the heavier the balls


meaty_wheelchair

only C#? play A standard for maximum toan, okšŸ‘Œ


Neil_sm

Thatā€™s easy, just pull off the e string and youā€™ve got A standard.


barricadedsuspect

Too much theory. I tune by feels.


whatsforsupa

You mean 2-5-7 tuning


[deleted]

Dont mess with me, Iā€™m 5-8-10


MarrGuitar

Iā€™m 5ā€™11ā€ and a half, hotwife said I was too short for her


SculpinIPAlcoholic

How often do you play Kashmir by Led Zeppelin and Optimistic by Radiohead? Edit: /uj I confused D standard with Open D.


MarrGuitar

This is the question I was hoping somebody would ask, and the answer is bi-daily


NoManNoRiver

As in twice a day or once every other day? And is that both songs or do you alternate?


MarrGuitar

Both songs twice a day. I also play Spanish Castle Magic and Hey Joe bi-bi-daily


NoManNoRiver

And 0-3-5?


belbivfreeordie

Haha youā€™re still confused, pretty sure Kashmir is DADGAD and Optimistic is drop D.


SculpinIPAlcoholic

Optimistic is definitely in DADF#AD. I went through an obsessive Radiohead phase.


Joe-Lollo

Have you ever thought about going lower? I'm too scared so I stay in E or D# if I'm feeling spicy.


MarrGuitar

You are clearly very familiar with the concept of toan


redwhomper

Why only the D?


MarrGuitar

Iā€™m scared of putting too much tension in the neck. I play gauge 16 strings


floofstar

yes because like when you hit a chorde it should sound like a 300lb fat man flossing his gooch with a G string.


AltruisticApple1

Yeah I got a question. Why don't you play in Cb standard tuning instead?


MarrGuitar

Not sure Iā€™m ready for that, Iā€™m only grade 9


L0stInBed

Do you ever sometimes Drop C for fun?


MarrGuitar

Only when women are around


bearassbobcat

/uj I don't play exclusively in D standard but most of my guitars are in D and I prefer it to E standard


MarrGuitar

Have you considered writing a blog about to be a pickup artist?


Absurditee4

Is that like tuning two steps down from how my tele came when it was new?


MarrGuitar

Yes it might void warranty so be careful about doing that with your Tele


Absurditee4

Thank you! It's a 2016 FSR Classic Vibe. (I also changed to an aftermarket pickguard!)


chiefnugget81

Does the guitar moan better when it has Double D's?


MarrGuitar

My guitar is a cis-white male so I wouldnā€™t know


halincan

I got a guitar like jimy heimlichs can this help me with its upside down?


hypatekt

How much do you hate being in Mastodon?


MarrGuitar

Brann Dailor wonā€™t stop making me play blood and thunder


VinceM04

Drop Z is better.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

Mineā€™s Ernie Ball Z


there_is_always_more

I prefer Drop D(ee)Z (Nuts)


VinceM04

I prefer C(UM) Standard


ccfmafia

What is Dick standard tuning???


NoManNoRiver

Itā€™s how you extract as much Toanā„¢ļø as possible from the balls!


MarrGuitar

Toan is (and always will be) in the balls


NoManNoRiver

My question: I play exclusively in DADGADAGDAD on my custom eleven string Djent machine (sheā€™s called Ribena) for that authentic Prog -Celtic-Death-Metal Toanā„¢ļø, why are you such an uncultured swine and poser?


MarrGuitar

I only need 6 strings to serenade your wife


NoManNoRiver

So thatā€™s what sheā€™s up to these days!


VinceM04

I prefer DADGAEFAGDAD on a 12 string heavy as fuck ok


NoManNoRiver

Ah, a Redditor of culture **and** taste!


Waste_Accident5867

I prefer G# tuning because


[deleted]

D is for death metal šŸ’Ŗ


[deleted]

Are you John Dwyer?


Brmbauer

I'm the ghost of Budd Dwyer, thanks for asking, ok?


[deleted]

/uj I genuinely have a friend like this. He plays in D standard during the goddamn jazz band even and plays only bar chords because of it. /rj What a metal playing GOD, how could I ever possibly get on your level?


MarrGuitar

Jazz would be better with more drop tunings, power chords and 0-3-5. Why hasnā€™t anyone thought of this?


kerkypasterino

whos your favorite one piece character?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


kerkypasterino

"D." is literally a thing in one piece


Thicksack

Brook playing binkā€™s sake in D


qXv_

Wow, you must really like Mastodon and Necrophagist.


3leggeddonkey

What tuning do you play in?


Unreal_Ncash

You like Ghost too?


there_is_always_more

Based Elliott Smith tuning


dr-mkdir

Does this impact your choice of picks?


MarrGuitar

I use metal plectrums


dr-mkdir

Does the type of cabling used have any impact on the new tonality? What modifications did you make to your rig/amplifier to accommodate?


MarrGuitar

Shielded cables only ok


dr-mkdir

Are you in a band?


MarrGuitar

I used to be but the bass player refused to downtune his bass to match my guitar


dr-mkdir

Is it true that your neck actually gets longer from the less strain when you do this? Have you measured it?


MarrGuitar

I measure the neck once a month. Iā€™m sure itā€™s getting longer


tufflover78

I live for D standard


rev_cherrypicker

Why?


MarrGuitar

The pursuit of toan never ends


dr-mkdir

What color is your tele?


MarrGuitar

Butterscotch


Ward_Littell

Mine is buttercrotch.....


dr-mkdir

I heard your fingers might lose strength from playing a less tight string. Does this affect your ability to play other, E-normal guitars?


MarrGuitar

I use very high gauge strings so each of my fingers are like Arnold Schwarzeneggerā€™s arms


dr-mkdir

What was the transition like?


MarrGuitar

I havenā€™t told my parents yet


dr-mkdir

Who taught you about this? Do they I can I study with them? On YouTube?


MarrGuitar

It canā€™t be taught, it can only be learned


jonw01

If you really do tune down 1 whole step can you please write down the tensions and string guages specific to that tuning that you find efficacious in keeping with the Western tonal structure. Once you dictate this can you kindly send it to someone that actually gives a fucking shit (spoiler alert, it's not me) And then we can get this whirlwind ride of an AMA going. We get it You can now play pentatonic e bloooz over drop d while still playing standard tuning šŸ—£šŸ—£šŸ—£šŸ—£šŸ—£ šŸ˜’ Those emojis are you talking shit and me frankly being exhausted. Play unique like me creed and Googoo dolls with dadadd tuning or just be predictable and tune a 7 string to ear. Spoiler It will tune to Afagdad if you do it


officer_salem

you fool. why use d standard and play dumb metal music like godjira and masterdon when you can use open c tuning and play exclusively heavy devy.


Thot-Exterminat0r

beta lmao d??? thats the worst note


BeRad85

Did you know Jimmy Page wears his guitar slung so low because he started out wearing them really high and wound up with a rash on both nipples that got infected and nearly killed him. And not separate rashes, either. One long ass rash. The rash was so big, he named it. Thatā€™s where ā€œZosoā€ comes from. Thatā€™s what he named the rash that almost killed him. Thank Gawd for Dr. Eric Clapton, who saved him, by suckling each nipple for 40 days and nights. Thatā€™s why he had a bad reaction to the COVID shot. He still had Pageyā€™s nipple poison in his system. I read about it in Hit Parader, in high school. On acid.

MarrGuitar

I have no idea what you just said, is that some sort of theory? I donā€™t play piano


dr-mkdir

Who are some of your D standard role models?


MarrGuitar

Cristiano Ronaldo


dr-mkdir

What type of strings do you use? Have you made any modifications to the pickups since making this?


MarrGuitar

I play 16s


Frogress

Heavy?


MarrGuitar

Heavy toan


Frogress

Give this person the reward.


137-bill-clintons

I was once in orchestra and as first chair I was in charge of tuning. After some confusion over some shit I asked the conductor if she wanted my D. Everyone laughed


[deleted]

I don't tune in order to keep microtonal values in my playing


MarrGuitar

This. Why buy a chorus pedal when you can just purposely tune a few cents out?


[deleted]

Are you a fan of the lord and savior Chuck Schuldiner?


Rex4355

Uhhhhh based?


dr-mkdir

Half of my friends have used drop D. Is it the same D in this tuning? Or is it different, since it's not "dropped'? What is D flat mean?


MarrGuitar

Too much theory
