Tonight i have tried to play in drop C for the first time ever and i am trying to learn Bullet For My Valentine song Waking the demon. I must say i am really enjoying it so far and the song is not the easiest one i have played either but i hop that learning this ong will help devolope my playing further especially my oulloffs since there is alot of pullofs riffs in the song

My friend loves this song showed me the tab for it today. I'm gonna start writing in Drop-C. Glad you liked it.

Not really a fan of drop C, but I can see how some people like it.
That being said, I really hate it when bands tune lower to sound heavier. Low =/= Heavy |

I never tried drop C, could it be done with gauge .10 strings? I think I read somewhere that tuning so low requires quite heavy strings, not sure!

I have never used that tuning, but I would definitely recommend thicker strings for it, otherwise the strings might get very sloppy. At least I would not really be able to play like that, my strings have to be rather tight, I am using 12 sets for my e-flat tuning. But in general I think it is a good thing to experiment a bit with different tunings, specially a dropped tuning might give you completely new ideas since you can't really use your standard way of playing. When I used dropped D for the first time it was really inspiring

Tried it once and didn't really like it. Iron King is right.

Low tunings don't make you heavy of course, a heavy riff will be heavy in any tuning, while a lame riff won't get better if you play it in a deeper tuning
