ADROOH Tunings live?

[HugoDisasters]

How do they play ADROOH without changing guitars or tuning? Do they have Drop D/half step or Standard?
How do they manage to play Sick of Everyone without Drop D?

They prob just play it a half step and just regular chords. I usually put the drop d chords into regular chords when I play. I would they would do it like fat lip.

Yeah but they can't do the darker chords on SoE & HM on Half Step.. or do they have the half step tuning with Drop D?

I imagine they just don't strike the low E string when playing the open chord that would be played in Drop D. I've always wondered the same thing.

But that can't be since the SoE intro riff is
0-8-7-3-5 (all the notes are played on a low D string)

Oh yeah, that one would be a problem. Maybe just Tom's guitar is tuned to Drop D? I haven't seen many live videos in forever so I don't know if Tom switches Les Pauls at all throughout the show.

He does.

Btw, they always tune their guitars a half step down.. so they might just use a pedal to go one octave lower/higher

I'm not tech savvy with guitars at all, so I can't contribute in this topic. But to this quote I can say that yes, Tom switches guitars during the show.

At 3:50

Okay, then maybe his guitars are tuned differently since Reason to Believe is played in Drop D and Skumfuk is in Standard.

Also when I refer to the tunings of the songs I mean how it is on the album. So live it would be a half step equivalent.

Real guitarists play in drop B.


Or Open G acoustically.

I've always thought that about pedals.
Could somebody explain how it works exactly? Cause i find this tuning stuff way confusing as Deryck seems to never switch guitars, Usually don't see Tom doing it. Also that video of them doing the whole ADROOH (without changing instruments?)

He does switch guitars.. he usually has around 3 guitars for 1 show(excluding the telecaster he uses on pieces)

An Octave Pedal takes the sound of your guitar and adds a pitch that's an octave lower (Octave Down) or an Octave Higher (Octave Up) and blends the notes to give you a changed pitched sound. Octave Pedals are also considered pitch shifters or pitch shifting type devices because they affect the pitch of the sound to blend an octave. *

Huh. If they need to play in drop-d it only takes like one second to tune? I don't see the problem.. It's so quick to tune most people wouldn't even realize it happening. I'd think they just tune their guitars to drop-d when ever they need it, occasionally change their guitars aswell. During a long gig guitars tend to need tuning in any case though since some of the strings are sure to get out of tune. =)
Octave-pedal sounds unlikely to me, since it makes the sound somewhat different/worse.

I don't really understand the question haha, if the song is in drop-d why wouldn't they play it in that?

None of them have tuning equipment.. The guitar techs do all the tuning. And when one of their guitars seems to be ou of tune they just use another one. I've seen it happen at ond of the shows I attented. Deryck realized his guitar was slightly out of tune, so he signaled larry and like 5 seconds later he was using another guitar
