Busted Stuff question

Unread post by mlb1399 » Wed Mar 30, 2005 3:11 pm

Alright, I read the other 3 posts on the subject of Busted Stuff tuning and never really saw a definitive answer. I realize that you tune down to the 3 strings that are different. But I read some people said if you tune normal strings down, they won't stay in tune? So do you keep normal guitar strings on to play this?

Wow, I didn't even know that existed.... for any of the songs.

Strings that are used to being in standard tuning will always have a little trouble staying in tune when they are tuned to the new tuning at first, which is why most musicians have different guitars for each different tuning.
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

I find busted stuff to be really weird in its original tuning. I think it sounds just as good in standard tuning even though its not how Dave does it. Just my opinion.
