Standard tuning strings. This is done to simplify fingering. A few guitarists, mostly those using tapping, play without this interval, instead tuning in all fourths; thus on a six-string guitar the top two strings become C and F instead of B and E. Other unusual tunings include all major thirds, all minor thirds, and various other choices. In standard notation, the guitar sounds one octave lower than it is written. This is to avoid switching between treble and bass clef, or using ledger lines or 8vb, since it is very common to play past the 12th fret on the E string (E)
Muhammed Suiçmez Putrefaction" was released on Noise Solution Records (1999). Following the breakup of Necrophagist, Suiçmez currently works as an engineer at BMW. Suiçmez has 3 Custom Ibanez Xiphos guitars, one of which is a 7 string. His first guitar has reverse sharktooth inlays. His second custom (7 string) has a "Necrophagist" inlay on the fretboard. For most Necrophagist recordings Suiçmez is tuned in D standard (ADGCFAD for seven strings, DGCFAD otherwise). Suiçmez also had a 27 fret 7 string custom Ibanez, as seen on photos on his band's MySpace, but it was ruined when someone mishandled it backstage after a show.
