Standard Grandad


a person who likes their guitars (and everyone else’s for that matter) tuned to standard e (low to high e a d g b e). these people, who despite the name may be of any age, dislike the practice of tuning a guitar or b-ss to alternate tunings such as dropped d (d a d g b e) and show great disdain for those who do because…

standard grandad: …forget it, i can’t stand led zeppelin, bl–dy fiddling about with tunings -throws guitar in trash-
