I use a lot of open or alternative tunings with the Drop D tuning being my favorite.</div>
<div class="notes"></div>
<div class="notes">Three songs on my new record are in Drop D. They are; Don’t Want Love, Caroline, and Your Ghost.</div>
<div class="notes"></div>
<div class="notes">The reason I use the Drop D tuning is that it gives your guitar a fullness that you just can not get in standard tuning. It also allows your C, G, A, and E chords to be played differently which I feel ads to the color of your song.</div>
<div class="notes"></div>
<div class="notes">Drop D tuning is one of the easiest alternative guitar tunings because only the lowest string is different from the standard guitar tuning.</div>
<div class="notes"></div>
<div class="notes">To D tune your guitar, all we need to do is retune the 6th string from E to D: D A D G B E</div>
<div class="notes"></div>
<div class="notes">1. Tune your guitar in standard tuning.</div>
<div class="notes"></div>
<div class="notes">2. Play the 4th (D string) and 6th string together and turn the tuning key of the E string counter clockwise until you are 1 note lower.</div>
<div class="notes"></div>
<div class="notes">Drop D tuning makes it possible to add a nice deep bass to D chords. Play around with it. Think James Taylor, The Beatles Dear Prudence, Neil Young Old Man and so much more…</div>
