Ok.
So, inspired by the current tour, I've been TRYING (i mean, a lot of SG is HARD AS FUCK - for me) to learn some of the more rockin SG songs.
Unfortunately (and i already knew this) ... a shit ton of the tunes are in fucked-dumb tunings ... like EEEEEE or some othe completely detuned BS.
I don't care to retune my guitar, break strings, and retune again.
So far, I've got
Outshined
Switch Opens
and
Room A Thousand Years Wide
Any comments on other songs that are CLOSE to standard tuning ... (ie. Drop D, double Drop D, or similar) and comments on playing them would be great.
THANK YOU.
Fucking goddamn, Chris Cornell is an asshole for making it so hard to play his songs.

So I googled what soundgarden songs used drop d and came across this thread on google. This is the first time I've laughed out loud in a while. They do have some fucked tunings! Thanks guys for accidentally making me smile during this shitty time. Rest In Peace Chris...PJ: 9/29/04, 5/12/06, 5/13/06, 6/22/08, 6/24/08, 6/25/08, 6/27/08, 6/30/08, 10/30/09, 10/31/09, 5/18/10, 5/20/10, 5/21/10, 9/3/11, 9/4/11, 10/18/13, 8/7/16
