Tuning

Drop E riffs

Drop E on an 8-string is E B E A D G B E — the lowest string tuned to E, a full octave below a standard guitar's low E and a whole step under standard 8-string tuning. It's the heavy end of modern djent and prog: huge, sustained low chugs with the upper strings ringing out above them. 5 riffs so far, mostly djent and prog metal. Each one has tab and video — slow it down and loop it.
