Can you drop tune a standard stratocaster to B ?? // Sound test.
Hello Everyone!
So , I was challenged (kinda) to play this particular song and offered an avocado tree ( how can you resist that offer?!! ) and I wanted to give it a try .. this particular song is actually played with a Baritone guitar since it is in a Low Drop B tuning and of course played with High gain humbucker pickups.
Since most of my gear is still in Argentina I gave it a try with my regular Tribe Stratocaster equipped with Virtual Vintage Dimarzio pickups and direct to the sound card with amplitube .. the result was quite interesting... what do you think??
Wait and Bleed (Slipknot) - Guitar Test
Back in the city and working to getting a decent setup again, hopefully I can get more of a decent quality soon.
Until Next Time

Did you get the avocado tree?
not yet... I feel betrayed
Well, it sounds like it works fairly well anyway.
It must have been a real pain to get the guitar tuned and then to stay in tune.
I'm planning to put a block in the tremolo system of my Squire strat so that it will stay in tune better. I have no plans to use the tremolo, I don't even have a bar for the thing, so I might as well block it so it will stay in tune better.
Hey Amber! well , getting the guitar in tune was not hard ( the tremolo is locked so that is not an issue ) but the strings are too floppy because they are regular 0.10 . I think that if you think of tuning down to those low places you would at least need a 0.12 or 0.13 so the tension is nice and beefy . It would help on general sound definition in my opinion. You don't need a block for the Squier , just tighten all the screws of the springs on the back , that should be enough ;). Thanks for listening !
I'll give that a try with tightening the screws.
If you want to leave the guitar tuned to low B, just get a set of strings for a 7 string guitar and don't use the high E string.
