I'm sick of all these ridiculously deep tunings!

UP-tuning is the new black! Tune your guitars one octave UP I say!

Hey, I've been tuning my guitar up to open E minor for ages.

Downtuned guitars just sound better... imho

Skeksis is another with lots of low G stuff in it. I also think it's there a little bit in the heavy hypergeek riff. Those really low notes sound extra low. I've been noticing what the extra does for dev's playing and I love the way it sounds.

Yep, the first heavy riff in Hypergeek goes there...it's just a little 0-2-4 tremolo thing on most of the strings going up and down...awesome.

They already do that, it's called "Nashville Tuning". Well, the 1st three strings, anyway.

I did test out devin's guitar tuning before and found that because of the way the tuning is set, there are two of the same note either side of the note in the middle which would be a fifth lower than the note above and a seventh higher than the note below, creating what we call a "powerchord". this is what allows dev to switch from powerchords. I found that it makes sweeping and knowing where the notes are gonna be a hell of a lot easier too. either way, it's fun =D.

Eh, what? Seventh is in no way part of the power chord. PC consists of the root note and the fifth and the optional octave. Are you talking about frets? What are you talking about?

i'm new here so i'm glad we're talking about devs gear.well guys,when i try to play his songs i use c g c f a d and it sounds preety accurate,you don't need 7 strings.he said something on the dvd but i didnt pay attention but i'm thinkin'about getting me 5150.

You need the seven string if you want to play the songs Devin uses one in. Yeah, some of them dont use the upper register, but do you really want to keep tuning down and up when you want to do the different songs? Its pretty inconvienient

Whomever posted the order of notes on the 2nd page: There is no E#/Fb and there is no B#/Cb.
