My friend's old rear end keyboard has a pretty rad song on it and my old junk keyboard had one too. I want to find a copy of them.

Played with some heavy metal bands this weekend. Their tunings were so low that it was impossible to distinguish pitch. It was a shame cuz it seemed like there was a lot of effort put into it and it was just thumpy mud.

If their gear wasn't set up to be tuned that low then it was probably pretty bad. Cannibal Corpse tune down to like G# or something, you couldn't tune most guitars that low and actually play them.

Like a = 440,220,110,55 etc. regardless of how the instrument is set up aren't you losing clarity as you go lower?

Nile tunes down to like A or something stupidly low like that, and it sounds fine. That metal band Bitchtard played with probably just sucks.

Set up/produced properly, a drop-D 8 string (D A D A D G B E) sounds pretty cool. Obviously it's not for chords, but percussive stuff and riffing around the open 8th string sounds fine.

If I ever find myself getting a second guitar for, say, Eb standard tuning I'm going to make sure it's a Wangcaster. Because if you're playing in any tuning but E standard you're pretty much just jerking off.

It's tuned 1tone higher than the D-tuned 8string while not being a Piano board.

It's tuned 1tone higher than the D-tuned 8string while not being a Piano board. despite the e-e tuning it's more of a 6 string short scale bass rather than a regular lower tuned guitar, though some people put on regular guitar strings and tune them like a baritone guitar which is pretty neat for surf/country stuff

Because if you're playing in any tuning but E standard you're pretty much just jerking off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcu2ONECf_8 quote:I taught myself to play guitar. It’s incredibly easy when you understand the science of it. The skinny strings play the high sounds, and the fat strings play the low sounds. If you put your finger on the string farther out by the tuning end it makes a lower sound. If you want to play fast, move your hand fast and if you want to play slower move your hand slower. That’s all there is to it. You can learn the names of notes and how to make chords that other people use, but that’s pretty limiting. Even if you took a few years and learned all the chords you’d still have a limited number of options. If you ignore the chords your options are infinite and you can master guitar playing in one day.

It really didn't have any sort of crazy sounds built in. It had piano, trumpet, human voice, pipe organ, brass ensemble, flute, synth-drums, jazz organ, and of course the sample button, which as you already know allowed you to create a few second sample to then play back with the keyboard. There were models after the SK-1 that did have wacky samples like dog bark built-in, and also stuff like actual drum pads, etc.

Everyone I used to play with tuned to Eb because I guess it was easier for singers. But I'm a drummer so I never mattered to me.

Hell, another time the guy tuning a guitar I was wanting to try couldn't even loving tune it properly, and this wasn't a problem with the guitar. But if you go to a local music store and then buy the poo poo online you're a dick.

Speaking of great musicians with awful stylistic taste in Guitars: Hide was probably one of the best metal guitarists ever, but man is the Fernandes Burny an ugly looking guitar (even the sunburst one is pretty bad).
