The CORRECT DIMEBAG TUNING! (D 425hz!)

This is the tuning that Dimebag used whilst in D Standard. You can achieve this on the Fender Tune App by linking an account with your email and using the Pro Tuner to change Hertz. If you are curious about other tunings or whatever ask for them and you shall receive! Might start posting again, I think I’ve got the itch. (In my pants, I have an STD)

Every time i see something new and tune my guitar differently

He does this on Far Beyond Driven and The Great Southern Trendkill as well, but in C# standard. I always called it a "1/4 step down" from C# as you tune the string just as it starts to change over to C on a tuner. It makes a huge difference in nailing his tone.

huge thank you for this. i typically use a neck tuner or the tuner on my amp, depends how lazy im feeling because they are both spot on within each other.
I have tried the Fender iPhone tuner as well as others but they require a subscription to be able to get away from the standard 440hz. Anyway! thank you for this, it’s a quick go-to if i forgot my tuner or just need something quick.

My 2 cents: I think that actually A4:450hz is the refference being the "standard tuning", but down to 3 semitones like more a standard 440hz C# tuning rather than D (A4:440hz) at the end.
425hz would be closer to half step down standard 440hz tuning (415.300hz) and so on... 450hz: standard tuning, half step down: 425hz (Hollow for example), whole step down: 400.900hz, 1.5 steps down: 378.400hz (Floods)

But, If I'm not mistaken Pantera's guitar tech some day said that the tuning is just a "normal" tuning up to 0.25. So the refference like this would be something like this, A4: 446.400hz (standard tuning), half step down: 421.345hz (Hollow for example and maybe Cemetery Gates (but some people says that's minus 0.25 from the standard tuning, so it would be between 430 and 434hz the A4 refference)), whole step down: 397.697hz, 1.5 step down: 375.376hz (Floods).

PS: I think that the studio recorded songs aren't just using that plus 0.25 from the 440hz mentallity (this was staple just for shows), so we need to play a bit or with the tunings, or trying to seperate stems and retune those songs to the 440hz refference testing the refferences from 430hz to 450hz.

Thank you for this ! A lot of people don’t know that he tuned to 425 .. Question ? Is this the same tuning he used for the song save me when in damage plan ?
I drove myself nuts trying to find the tune he used ?

[blunderless]

Isn't this just regular d tuning? i tuned my guitar to E standard using the second fret on each string and my my notes ring out and echo the ones in the video
