its the same tuning as standard E except you tune the thick E string down to D.
so it would be E -1 B G D A D -6 |

QUOTE (Sina @ Jun 20 2008, 09:47 PM)  Hi guys  ,Today when I heard Moon Baby (Godsmack) I wanted to learn it on my guitar, I looked for the tabs and they didn't look 2 hard for me to practice. But, it said I needed a "Drop D" tuning , and I wondered what that was... XD So hopefully somebody can help me out and I would really appreciate it  .Thx A Lot ^^ ...and of course the great things with Drop-D is that it means that your lowest string is lower in frequency than in standard E which is good for heavy riffs and palm muting, and it also means that power chords on strings 6, 5 and 4 (the thickest) are dead simple e.g. just pick any fret and barre the D and A strings or D, A and D strings with 1 finger! Also, I think there is something about tuning to drop-d in Ivan's tuning tutorial: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/misc-less...uning-tutorial/ This post has been edited by buttmonk: Jun 23 2008, 04:18 PM |
