4ths tuning
Why don’t metal guitarists use 4ths tuning. Seems like it would simplify everything as far as learning the fingerboard. Seems like it is tailor made for metal especially.

Except for that one oddball flat 4, standard is in 4ths.
I play in open C, which alternates 5ths and 4ths…except it ends in that oddball flat 4 (CGCGCE).
