hi,

Ive tuned my tele really low to play Kyuss/Qotsa type stuff and it sounds great, loads of gain and great tone! i think I might keep it like this!

I'm not familiar with those bands that you referenced, but I'm guessing that you're talking about really low tuning...like dropped B or something.

I tuned my Tele D to D, and still play most tunes in the same key - it's pretty cool. That puts G in the normal A position, D in the normal E position and C in the normal D position.

I've got another guitar player in the band and he tunes standard, so we get different voicings on the same chords. It works well.
