So Tracy, when, how what and why did Dev decide to drop his tuning down 1 string?

thanks in advance and congrats on the kid again :)

Hahaha, who gives a crap, and why are you asking Tracy?

I've heard Dev say lots of times that lower is better. There's the why for you. As to when...sometime between AE and Alien. As to how, well, he got a 7 string and tuned it that way.

I think I've read/heard an interview where he says he's been using open C for 15 years? GCGCGCE is open C with an extra G I think.

I may be completely wrong in memory but I think it was Led Zeppelin.

Alien was the first album he did 7 strings if I'm not mistaken. The "Great Average Guitar Video" best sums up the open C tuning concept.

I am pretty sure Tracy is right with the Zepplin. As far as the lower string its probably cause Devin loves to be a bass player. :lol:

He also mentions the Led Zep thing in the guitar vid, definitely 'friends'

What are you guys talking about? Have I gone completely mad, or I am I right to think that "Great Average Guitar" was never released? How could you guys have seen it? It's certainly not in the merch section on the website...

I think there is only 10 copies in existence or some tiny number like that.

It may not be in the merch section, but it is sitting up near my tv.
