Biggest laugh for me: alt text.  ( Apparently Onstad tunes down to N. Take that, Korn! )

That's a very tricky chord.

just a quick point though, while i'm here holding my guitar...

[pedant] onstad seems to think that EGBDF (of every good boy deserves fruit/football/etc...) is a guitar tuning when in fact it's just an aide-memoire for learning to read music, and it wouldn't really make any sense to tune a guitar like that. [/pedant]

still, the idea of tuning down to N really appeals to me. feel those fuck*ng bass notes.  :evil:

Well, he never mentioned the guitar.  Besides, if that were a guitar tuning there'd only be five strings, and that N would be a HIGH N.

Anyway, you people have not been using the best lines as thread subject lines.

PLEASE CORRECT THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

I took it to mean E G B D G(Natural).  Of course, why would you say G (Natural)?  Also, that would be a highly fucked up way to tune a guitar.  Perhaps it's a sitar tuning.  Or a dobro.

Or maybe it's a tuning designed to accomodate the fingering (clawing?) limitations of a cat's paw.

It's clearly "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge" anybody who says differently will be dealt with severely by the Legions of Terror.

That reminds of the bass player for the Kelly Bell Band who has an 8-string. His bass is wider than he is. It could easily go to N. Or 11.

Seconded. I was very disappointed to see that this thread was not entitled some kind of low shenanigan. People, people - how often do we really have an excuse to use the word shenanigan?

Tuning down to N would stuff your ears with thick Bass steaks.

My stupor this morning has not allowed me to assimilate the phrase "are you all split on green?" It sounds like something bad happening to your ##### (Pantalones) while playing twister.... Help.

EDITED to say DAMMIT ALL TO HELL AND BACK ABOUT THE SLACKS/TROUSERS ETC...

I think Beef was "split on green" after his encounter with Nightlife Mingus on the golf-course.

And by that I do not mean that he damaged the putting surface of the course.

I am going to start using the phrases "some kind of low shenanigan" and "split on green" as soon and as often as possible. "Another Deep Space 9 marathon? Oh, come on, that's a real low shenanigan right there, Rondelle."

That makes sense to me after coffee. Thank you. After all, it was only 8 am here when I posted.

OK, maybe it's just because I am stupid, or because I grew up in Seattle, or both, but when I first saw the text I thought of Mudhoney's classic album, 'Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge'.  In that case, the "dropped tuning" would be in reference to the custom of certain bands of that region and era to drop tune (not that it was unique to them).  But, hell, what do I know?

Yeah, but standard guitar tuning is EADGBE and the most common dropped tuning (as I recall) would be GADGBE.  Neither of which is similar to EGDBF.

EGDBF is a handy mnemonic for remembering the notes on the lines of the treble clef.  The spaces are FACE.
