This is the company that makes 'em, and they got an auto-tuning Gibson Les Paul for $4500: http://www.selftuning.com/index2.htm

Haha, yeah, I hope they have some sense of reasonable range, because they cost like six berjillion dollars. |

Gotta use "Tom 7", for which the internet is totally indifferent. Let me help.
Tom 7 rules
Tom 7 rocks
Tom 7 rox
Tom 7 rulez

I think the reason why dgdgdb works okay is because, while it might seem ambiguous on paper, given that you don't have a whole lot of leeway with how far you can tune strings without them snapping or becoming really loose and losing all sustain, it's usually easy to figure out. But anyway, if you're making notes for yourself, of course whatever works best for you is fine! But the outside world (i.e. me) had trouble with it...
I haven't seen those magic button guitars, damn, that's pretty crazy. I wonder if they have any programmed in sense of allowable range, or if I could go into the guitar store and set them all to tune to ridiculously high notes, push the buttons, and watch all of the necks and strings snap? |

"Tom rocks": 407
"Tom sucks": 2,620!!

Apparently these things are pretty popular with the kiddies. They have a lot more flavors available here:

"Warren G" CHEEZIE NACHO is my favorite |

Between the second time the "intro" part plays but before it goes back to the "rocking" part. I may have got the 0's wrong, but the 5-4-0 is definitely there.
dgdgbd is a crappy way to write tunings, cos, how do I know which d? Also, since I just barely even know the names of the strings, it's much harder to tune to a specific note. I used to write tunings as differences between adjacent strings (standard tuning would be 55545), since I would sometimes tune the guitar but then not know what I did! But that way has its problems, too...
Have you seen these guitars that you just hit a button and it tunes it for you? And it can set all sorts of crazy tunings?? I want that shit, but also with partial capos for any string on any fret arbitrarily, and I want to be able to switch that during the song, HELL YES! |

Ok, we should use "sux" and "rulez," "rox".
"marc rulez": 15
"marc rox": 11
"marc sux": 40
Not lookin' too good for you... |

The "Say no to drugs" statement is somewhat strange on a snack bag. Why put it there? Do snack eating homeez normally shove coke? Or is it an alternative for drugs? |

Thanks for the elaboration! I got a 12-string guitar here that I've been playing it on, so that's working out well, it's hella mighty sounding now. The only part I don't get is this:
other part:
d ---------------------------------------------------------------
g -0-0-0-5-4-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------------------------------------
d -5-4-0-0-0-0-5-4-0-0-0-0---------------------------------------
g -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-5-4-0-...-----------------------------------
b ---------------------------------------------------------------
d ---------------------------------------------------------------
Where is that in the song? It just don't sound like nothing in there to me when I play it...
P.S. - People usually write tunings the other way that you did, like dgdgbd.
P.P.S. - "First against the wall" means U DIE!!!
P.P.P.S. - U not first against the wall. |

Heather: I guess that shows how positive and cheerful everyone on the internet is! Ahhh, there is hope for society yet... Or maybe it demonstrates how authoritarian everyone on the internet is...
But alas, I redid "marc sucks" and "marc rules" in quotes and now my landside success has shrunken and narrowed greatly to 184 vs. 173. But practically all of the "marc sucks" ones are descriptions of porn movies, where I'm "sucks" on particular particular parts of other people's bodies. So I guess that's perhaps a problem with using words with multiple definitions that vary so much. And the first "marc rules" link is to the rule book for the Miniature Auto Racing Club... |

How do people write tunings? Anyway, if you don't have a 9-string guitar you are definitely not going to be playing my sweet ass songs.
I put basic tabs for "Dance!" in the lyrics file, just for you. |

Well, you're really supposed to do it in quotes, like "C++ sucks" or whatever. But I would have gotten no hits whatsoever. |

Come on now guys, SUCKS alone gets 4,940,000 results
RULES alone gets 50,800,000 results!
Everything is going to rule.

Oh, those numbers were supposed to be the tuning! Dang, NO ONE writes tunings like that. It looks kind of like how some folks write tablature for a chord, where the - would indicate "don't play that string." So it looks like tablature for a chord played on a 9-string guitar where you would mute the 1st, 3rd, and 8th strings; fret the 2nd fret of the 2nd, 4th, and 9th strings; and play the rest of the strings open.
Anyway, if you could re-figure out Dance!, that would be sweeet. I tried a little with the tuning, but couldn't figure it out. |

I remember Ketchpaw found some of those lying around somewhere in pittsburgh circa my junior year. I've always wondered if there were more where they came from, and now I have my answer. |

Thanks, yeah, Cinaminimum sucks. I knew it when I was making it, and I was just like, "let's get this over with," and hoping that perhaps I'd come to like it later, but, nope, it sucks.
-2-2000-2 is the tuning for that song. drop d on both e strings, and also bring the a to g, giving you dgdgbd. Unfortunately, it doesn't say how to actually play it. Maybe I will try to re-figure it out. |

-2-2000-2

Yeah like I'm supposed 2 know wuddafuc that says... |

Oh, and Da New F-Zero is funny, I like that one. And I meant "at least they're really short" above. |
| |
I like this new AAD real good. Mostly all good songs, and some super good, and only a couple sucky.
My favorites (in order of most favoriteness) are: Dance!, Takin' Picturez 'N Da Dark, Eat Anything, Catz (Condensed 4 Luv), Beauty Queen Cigarrette, Same World, Fifth, Back 2 Western.
Dance! is mega favorite.
Only Drink Netscape and Cinaminimum suck (especially Cin), but at least their really short. |
