  1. Let's see if I manage to ignite some buzz in the section that I rarely visit (not that I expect any responses) Here's something that I'd love to muster with my guitar/bass aficionado colleagues out there: can you guys think of a few instances in VK and/or non-VK stuff (J-music) where odd/unusual tunings were utilized in guitars/bass (seeing as I am getting rather intrigued about freaky tunings lately)? My examples (my sources are from their official song/tab books btw): Dir en grey - DOZING GREEN (Die's part - guitar) Tuning: DADADD + half step down (C#G#C#G#C#C#) (a variation of Open C# tuning) Most musicians cringe upon this due to stigmas laid down by Creed/Alter Bridge and their unfortunate alt. fame. In this case Die managed to express its folkier side (what you'd normally expect from DADGAD) without eventually resorting to stigmatic Christian rockage, heh the GazettE - songs with dropped tunings (Reita - bass) Tuning: various variations of BDGC (low B from standard 5-string tuning + DGC strings from one step down tuning) I find composing on such tuning a bit freaky to begin with (at least from theoretical perspective, like adapting to certain scales for instance and so on), so kudos to Reita for being somewhat innovative on that matter, I guess? I have heard that its frequent use would kill strings pretty quickly though :/ Feel free to come up with stuff you have
