I managed to join a cover band that plays every song in its original tuning and they have songs from every tuning from E standard down to B standard. I haven’t come across any C/C# stuff yet, but I’m only halfway through the massive fucking setlist. Everything else, there’s a song using that tuning.
Rig for this band is the EVH 50-watt and the FM9 in 4CM. Currently only using the amp’s channels for the tones and the FM9 is doing effects and the Virtual Capo is doing some heavy lifting.
Main guitar- Solar in D standard
2nd— Not sure, but it’ll be in E standard, I’ll probably rotate this one depending on how I’m feeling that day. There’s only one song (Pearl Jam’s “Rearview Mirror”) where I feel compelled to play a Strat and I’m making more excuses to use my Orville because that thing just sounds so good.
At most, I’m just tuning a low E/D string down a step then relying on the VC for everything else. Gave it a try at practice the other night and it held up fine, there’s barely any clean guitars in these songs, no noticeable latency irritating me at all.
Gonna snag some video tonight since it’s a full band practice. I’m chomping at the bit to get into those Slipknot tunes again because goddamn that shit is fun to play with a loud ass amp whacking your back with SPL’s chugging on that low B.
Anyone else using the VC to do a lot of heavy lifting?
