What drop B tuning is on the guitar?

Drop B means that the guitar has been detuned from standard tuning (E-A-D-G-B-e) to a lower pitch tuning where the bass string is now a B rather than an E, resulting in a tuning of B-F♯-B-E-G♯-C♯. It is unusual for standard 6 string guitars to be tuned in this manner because the lower you tune a guitar, the thicker the strings need to be in order to maintain a sufficient level of string tension (hence why bass guitars have very thick strings). Drop B tuning may be found on a baritone guitar or a 6-string bass such as the Fender Bass VI.


How do you create a bass sound with an electric guitar I need a bass sound in my band. I use a line 6 75w Spider VI amp and want some sort of fx to create a bass line whilst playing lead guitar?

What instrument did Paul McCartney play in the Beatles?

Sir Paul McCartney was the bass player in the Beatles, often played keyboards and he was one of the two main vocalists. He also dabbled and experimented with other instruments in some of their recordings. The majority of the popularity of the Beatles was created through the famous song writing-duo of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Many musical critics and Beatles fans speculate that it will be a very long time before anyone of this musical talent appears. The video of McCartneys "Coming Up" shows his musical virtuosity, but he was principally the bass player. = Language conservatives be damned - Paul McCartney is a very talented musician. On some Beatles recordings, he played guitar, drums, piano, and a few other instruments. His main instrument, however, was the bass.Also, to be more specific; on "Taxman", Paul played the electric guitar solo even though George Harrison was the guitarist. Paul tried to tell George how it should be done, and ended up playing it himself.
