"THANK YOU FOR ALL THE COMMENTS PEOPLE! =-)
Ok i guess the people have spoken and they are right
the tuning for this song is not drop Db
it is in fact c#g#c#f#a#d#
this tuning sounds perfect!
thank you all for the corrections!"

While I am not a fan of tabs, and I could be wrong here, but I think the guy is saying:
Instead of a normal tuned (E, A, D, G, B, E) guitar with it's low E dropped a step and a half to Db, the song in question works better on a guitar tuned a half step down (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb, ala Stevie Ray Vaughn, etc. Quite common actually.) with it's low Eb tuned down now only 1 whole step to the Db (Another quite common tuning configuration.).
....but all the sharps do look funny.:D

Also, I could have swore SOAD was a dropped C band... not C# or Db whichever sounds better. :D

On their first 3 CDs, they were dropped C. Now they're C#.
I think they're pulling a Metallica only in reverse. I've heard them play the song "Deer Dance," which was originally C, in C# and it sounds different but fine.

I've seen them play a bunch of songs at this year's Big Day Out (Aerials, Bounce, Chop Suey, Deer Dance, and Needles) that are all in C on Toxicity. They played them all a half step up. It sounds weird at first if you are used to hearing them in C like I am, but you get used to it. It is probably harder for Serj and Daron to hit the higher vocal notes, since they do get pretty high in C already. They also played Cigaro, which of course, is supposed to be in C# in the first place.
But, to the point of the thread, that is one of the reasons I use my ears as opposed to tablature. The people that post tablature "think" they're correct, when they're way off, and other people who read tablature "believe" that it's correct. A good statistic one of my teachers gave me is that 99.9% of all tabs are wrong. And I agree with that 100%.

I tend to use tabs as a "Start"
I normally cannot find the starting notes and tabs help me with that :)

Have you ever done ear training? I did it every day when i took Music Theory at school, and I have to say it's changed my life. I can basically hear anything in my head if I know the notes, and I can visualize music being played on a fretboard when hearing it.
Of course, with System Of A Down, it's not that difficult.
But you can tell that some people at mxtabs haven't really been doing their homework...

Man, I can just imagine the howling and name calling that was going on over there as they argued whether the tune was in Db or C#. :spit: :confused: :eek: :hiding: :mad: :spit:

And I thought TB got into some hair splitting flame wars over semantic nonense sometimes.... Compared to that, we're Shakespeare over here... :D
