Ok i guess the people have spoken and they are right
the tuning for this song is not drop Db

this tuning sounds perfect!

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.

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 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 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#.      Quote: |
