Can't You Hear Me Knocking?

Yeah, I think Tommy Iommi tuned everything down a half step which gave Sabbath the original sludgey, heavy sound.JoeEDangerously said:
The only reason it even occurred to me was the fact that Keith has the five stringers. While re-stringing one night it just dawned on me looking at the bottoms five only being there so I just dropped the A down and started playing some power chords and such. Went about an hour and just never felt like anything clicked within me. The only seldom used tuning, as far as well known bands go, I have ever enjoyed or used on a frequent basis is a whole step down. DGCFADYellowSnow said:
I just leave the Low E string on and don't touch it, when playing in Open G. That's not how Keef does it, of course - he's got the famous 5 string telecaster.JoeEDangerously said:
I took off the top string, plucked around in open G for a while. I just meant you think you’ve opened some portal to new music and horizons then realize there’s just not as much there as you thought. Just my opinionYellowSnow said:
Meh, how? Care to expand on this?JoeEDangerously said:Open G tuning sounds impressive and cool but is pretty meh
A man's got to know his limitations, and I'm never gonna be an elite (lulz) picker and have to content myself with playing some riffs and short solos that make me sound cool. Open G scratches that itch. It's a fat, greasy type of sound that gave the Stones a unique sound that few were able to emulate. The Black Crowes come to mind with their first album being heavy on Open G.
That it doesn't open a portal to endless possibilities is of little import to me, personally.
I’m more the less into the heavy shit though
What kinda electric axe you got there @JoeEDangerously ?
Half step you’re talking EVH, Thin Lizzy, Alice In Chains, Metallica Justice album
I just have one Gibson left. Sold a Jackson and an Ibanez years ago. Wish I still had the Jackson
Someday when he's not too busy making money, he'll learn how to play the damned thing. -

It’s the greatest opening riff of all time. It’s even better with Joe Pesci on vocals.TheRoarOfTheCrowd said:Top 5 song all time for me... love that riff blend and like the vocals as well

Fuck if I know. It's black on the front (like me), brown on the back and has strings.YellowSnow said:
