AADGBE Guitar Tuner
AADGBE: Dropped A
Weasel Walter while in Lake of Dracula along with Them Crooked Vultures use an alternate dropped A tuning in which a guitar, tuned to E Standard is dropped to a low A on the 6th string, resulting in AADGBE with the 6th and 5th strings an octave apart. Them Crooked Vultures use it in “No One Loves Me & Neither Do I”. This tuning was previously used on the Foo Fighters song “Stacked Actors”, on the Filter song “Welcome to the Fold” and on Muse’s “Citizen Erased”.

*Chordmaps are an amalgamation of chords and scales. Each chord map can yield sometimes 5 chord shapes in its given key. Chords are made up of 2+ notes in the respective scale. EADGBE has evolved to provide a good compromise between simple fingering for many chords and the ability to play common scales with minimal left hand movement giving highly responsive chords and well renowned chord shapes. Alternate tunings have wider fret spans making normal chords difficult to reach. That’s not to say chords map don’t have good chords. With a little effort some original and strikingly beautiful chords can be found in Chord Maps.
