Alternate Tunings
The mainstay of SG is their use of alternate tunings on guitar. Here are some examples:
| Artist | Song | Tuning | Tab |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soundgarden | Mailman | CGDGBE | |
| Soundgarden | The Day I Tried To Live | EEBBBB | |
| Soundgarden | My Wave | EEBBBB |
Kim Thayil talks about them here:

The difficult thing, is getting the sound.
Part of it comes from the tunings, the other is the amps you use.
