Diamond Eyes tunings

[MikeeR]

Has anyone tried playing any of the new songs yet ? Ive tried Rocket Skates and Diamond Eyes and they sound like they should be in Bb ? but before I go out and re-set my guitar for the lower tuning I wanted a second opinion. I know Stefs using 7/8 string guitars and Im using a 6 so tunings for any of these would be helpful.

Yeah Steph tuned all the way back up for this album, but obviously now he has that 8th for the low heavy. Rocket Skates is in B.

i actually jus tried the other night, i don't know what tuning it was, it was a 6 string but i just tuned it down to match what i was hearing... pretty heavy.. i'd at least recommend a 7 string to get the same sound.

Tuned Low to High: F#/B/E/A/D/G/B/E

String Gauges: 68/56/46/36/26/17/13/10

I'm currently trying to figure out his tuning for Royal. I believe it's back in A# (Self titled) but I'm not sure yet.

Hmm, I thought he had said that he tuned the two highest (pitch) strings the same, so BEADGBEE. But I can't remember the source - it was some sort of interview with him.

Stef uses two high E strings on his 7's for when he plays songs from before he switched from 6's to 7's.

It's in this video that he mentions the EE bit.. got it from Wes Borland - Private Gear Tour: Deftones' Stephen Carpenter

Yeah cause there's not enough fingers to hold off ringing out the note of the extra string. So it's best to tune it to the same as the above. Good thinking Steph!

I hate all these players who are all precise with their tunings.

And Dj Zap that's his tuning for the 8 string, according to his signature model release.

[beaverwithfishyshoes]

huh i dont get it, why you'd "get the tuning of the 6-string, but the feel of the 7-string" with BEADGEE? you miss the high B. tuning of the 6-string wot?
