dropped d


an alternate guitar tuning in which the lowest string is tuned down one whole step. common in most forms of heavy metal. makes it easier to play a power chord; the guitarist can simply lay one finger across the lowest three strings. looked down upon for its facility, but powerful in the hands of a skilled guitarist (examples: killing in the name by rage against the machine).

often misspelled ‘drop d’ due to the -ssimilation of the d at the end of ‘dropped’ and the d at the beginning of ‘d’.
-i’m trying to play along with this soundgarden song but my guitar doesn’t go low enough. wtf?
-you need to tune to dropped d.
