1/2 step down vs. Standard Tuning
Which do you prefer in Weezer albums? (see below for what albums were written in each tunings).
Why do you think Rivers switched up the tunings between albums? I think he went standard tuning on Green because he was trying to be as poppy as possible, to "get his band back on the map". I prefer half step down because I like how I sound singing it.
I am basing this off of the Alubm tablature books:
1/2 Step Down:
Blue
Pinkerton
Make Believe
Red
Raditude
Hurly??? (don't know yet)
Standard Tuning:
Green Maladroit

There's actually a lot you can do in drop D besides just playing power chords more easily. Try it sometime, OiP, it's actually kind of cool

Yes I know, I was thinking more along the lines of "Weezer" in drop D.

The guitar tab books for Blue, Pink, Make Believe, and Red are entirely in 1/2 step down. This can also be justified by which guitars the band uses on stage for each song.
