Do you think that the tunning down of guitars for heavier music is what has lead to the drought in solos in this type of music? I personally think that everyone's just looking for the heavier riff on the top string, but they don't know the scales for the tunnings that they use. Agree/Dissagree??
Also who would you respect more...guitar players that use standard E and get their heaviness from distortion and efx (and obviously good crunchy riffs) or if it's todays metal, does it have to be tuned down??
