Just curious to know what tunning do you guys use (strings and picks)
I use Eb tunning and occasionaly i mess around with drop-d, that i find it damn great. i use ghs boomers 009 and dunlop tortex picks
what about you ?

[VirginKiller]

I use normal tuning....am using now Gibson medium picks and sometimes Dunlop Jazz 1
As for strings I use fender Extra Light strings(Nickel)

[Rudolf16]

Normal and Eb
always use that tunes
and rare time F.

[DefLep]

I use standard or a half step flat generally (unless a song specifies otehrwise). I occasionally use drop-D for ballads.
I use GHS Boomer strings and Cool picks, particularly the medium weight (black) cat-tongue. Cool makes the best picks! They have grip on them. Whenever I've performed in front of people, I get nervous so the grip helps for sweating hands.

[Rudolf16]

and F do you use ?

[Rising_Force]

never
Since last 3 weeks i am in Eb and i think i'll remain with this. And when you go to a dropped tunning from eb i find it sounds much heavier.

[Rudolf16]

that´s true Eb is most heavier

I have a guitar in standard tune. For play with the band i uses drop tune. D/A/D/G/B/E. I likes use too D tune with 6ª dropped too. I uses also Em open tune and A open tune too, this is great for play with slide.

[Rudolf16]

thanks rot for u review

[Rot]

I forgot, about strings i'm not a maniac. I uses often Dean Markley, but i uses too Ernie Ball, or D'angelico. my fav gauge now is 009/46.
Pics, i never uses thin gauge, broken so easy..and i don't like picks brick size either, i uses medium gauge, 0.73 or 0.88. these satin yellow or green Dunlop. I dislikes these gray or black Dunlops, for play artificial harmonics, aren't very good.

[VirginKiller]

Well Gibson picks are the best when you play but they broke easilyyyyy:(

[Rising_Force]

btw i think thin picks are the worst ****s ever. i mean they last about 2 days. the first day, the bottom will become round, and the sencond day i realize that i can't make any shi-t with pick so ill throw them. The day i switched to dunlop tortex picks was a great one ... now they last about one week )))

[Jemi]

I use what i get,pennys,dunlops,glasses
because i don´t have a bottleneck ,and d ´adario
strings.

[rudi]

I use Enrie Ball RPS 010 on Explorer '79, standard tuning and Dunlop 1.14mm picks.

[venomous_stinger]

What do you think the scorpions use for "love em or leave em" or the lower guitar parts...it seems lower than e flat.

thanks

[Rot]

I didn't worked with that song, but i believe is tuned in C.

[Rising_Force]

After hearing Unbreakable, it looks that Scorps like to mess around with tunnings )

[venomous_stinger]

I'm not really into alternate tunings...if the scorpions didn't employ them I likely would never touch them.

Do you guys think they are using baritone guitars? or would they use a pitch shifter? I don't believe they use 7 strings.

What are they doing live?

The video shows them playing their usual guitars...
What are you guys thinking?

Any ideas.....
