Do we have any idea which is more prevalent? People who have a 7 or tune a 6 to B? There probably isn't a good answer. All the B standard stuff I have download from other people uses F#. Except for one song. It sounds silly, but I tend to skip playing that song so I don't have to tune one string :) I was thinking I might just do both

I find most of the stuff has more low B than High E in them. I have a 7 string, and most of the B standard stuff I make so I can learn, but I want to share. So for people who have a guitar in B Standard... My question is really not drop high string, or drop low string. But if I choose to drop high string, do I tune the G to F# or leave it as a G.

9 times out of 10 unless there is a solo there will be very little use out of the F#/G string. For the times when there is no solo, a C chord will be 3-5-6 instead of 3-5-5. Just a slighlty different shape to play, if I don't want to transpose it to 8-10-10

If this is the wrong area let me know where it should go. This is kind of a theory/community direction question. I am working on some songs in B standard. The band plays seven string guitars. Normally the 7 string guitar is tuned BEADGBE. Since rocksmith only supports 6, when I make CDLC I drop the high E. Doing research online when a 6 string is tuned to B standard , it is usually tuned BEADF#B. This makes it so all the normal scales and patterns work. If you capo a guitar in this tuning at the 5 fret you get EADGBE. If you capo a normal EADGBE guitar at the 7 fret you get BEADF#B. Now for the question... I can't decide which of the 2 tunings I should use. BEADGB (drop high E) or Baritone 6 string tuning BEADF#B. Most of mine are BEADF#B but I have found other B Standard songs in BEADGB. I was just looking for some community input.
