Its kind of confusing tuning down to a low tune. So would someone help with the following.

B-F#-B-E-G-C C-G-C-F-A-D and A-E-A-D-F#-B

Could you make the question a bit simpler?

C-G-C-F-A-D : Drop D tuning tuned down another whole step for each string.


One thing's for sure ,you gotta get yourself some real heavy strings for the other ones , and I think you should consider getting a tuner that can handle the low pitch of a 7-strings guitar for that Low B and A tunings.

Call me kooky - but I just don't buy into all this de-tuned crap. Why not just run a bass throw through some distortion, it's what it's coming to...

Drop D tuning can give you a very melancholy tone, a more haunting kind of sound than what you get just by playing in a minor key. See Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer" and James McMurtry's "Don't Waste Away" for examples.

Don't get me wrong - alternate tunings can open a whole new world to you - but the DE-tunig is what chaps my ass.
