Tune to drop D

[AcidBlackLove86]

Omg thankyou@simmyguitarman Thats so much easier

[jaykua]

I'm scared the string will snap lol

[WTPlayer2]

what does D# mean cuz thts wht my tuner is telling me? and how can i use my tuner to get my acoustic guiar to drop d

[WTPlayer2]

uhm... im like a beginer and how would i know if its in drop d D:

[halflife91]

Thanks a lot mate!

[DrupsIt]

oh i get it

[TheLeoAndujar]

wait wtf that makes no sence.. low E is lower than d.. how do you tune it down to sound like it? o.O

[paanp92]

@TheLeoAndujar because it is DROP D, so means it still the D's chord, but lower from the standard D sound. for instance, u may look at keyboard key, n u'll find many chords (from A to G) repeated almost 3 times. so u would notice that there would be many KEY of each chord.

[salem1599]

what kind of guitar is that?

[zzzNAYRBzzz]

thanks man....i just learned how to tune my guitar into drop d:D

[DTOWNZxBOI]

im sorry but im a COMPLETE beginner in guitar playing so i dont know how to tune to drop d. so i dont get this video and any other one on youtube, if you gotta make the E string sound like the D string why do you tune down? arent you supposed to tune up? because the D string is a higher pitch. please help me out

[GBPacor]

Cant you use a tuner for this?

[ahelplessdog]

if your a guitarist then obviously you know what d tuning is

[Electra72]

thanks man! its nice and simple and easy to understand (Y) *****

[ampsampsamps]

thanks mate needed it to play killing in the name thanks.

[simmyguitarman]

thr is an easier way...just make the 7th fret on the Estring sound the same as an open A string

[xProBackgrounds4u]

@simmyguitarman omfg finnally something that makes sense, ive been watching about 10 videos and still cant figure it out, FINALLYYY someone who tells u the easy way >.< ughh

[SakuraJT]

Thx :D

[xEXSEIGEx]

here

hit the harmonic on the 12th or 24th (if you have an electric) fret on your low e string and hit the d string at the same time. then tune down, its a bit easier . unless youre tone def

[Depthcurse]

its called octaves

[TheHacx]

lol , Kinda helpful... but you should probably explain more, they don't sound the same...

[TheHacx]

The pitch must be the same not the sound

[ImHellsAngel]

wtf i dont get it it doesnt sound like the d string and isnt the d string a higher note so wouldnt you be makeing you e tuned higher?? WTF

[shcaboose]

lol i know they dont sound alike at all

[lewhore69]

thats not even full drop d though dude its just your 1st string

[Blackstormtrooper]

Very helpful, thanks.

[empizh]

thanks for helping me.. brake my string :)

[DigitalPimpSlap]

thanks man!

[Commandaunt]

how to tune it 1 1/2 steps down?

[JordanPang19]

an octave lower is 12 frets down. yeah same note different pitch.

[MrTbird1976]

Do you have a video for half step tuning?

[MINIKakaMEZTIK]

wow...when i first got my guitar years ago, i accidentally did this...interesting

[roxxas5]

YOU OWE ME A NEW STRING!!!! I tuned the low E string to sound like the high E string and it broke!!!! Thanks a lot!

[JordanPang19]

its supposed to be an octave lower.

[roxxas5]

What the heck is an octave lower?

[QuinnC92]

ROFL, not the same pitch, the same note... its common sense.

[ThyatiraZerepath]

same thing happened here. oh well better go buy a new string. ^^

[HushedDeath]

wow thanks, thats really helpfull !

[andyjee86]

omg noobs lol  (joke)

[Areelex]

[EmoDillan24]

[EternalDarkFire]

[YenDollarEuro]

[Lekabuhulalai]

Thanks man!

[LUISga55555]

ahahahh ill try it

[LUISga55555]

why?

[BrakeforKhaos]

my way is different. i dont know if its easier but all i do is hit the 7th fret on the E and make it sound the same as the A

[LUISga55555]

your supposed to make it soud the same as D

[BrakeforKhaos]

it does .i dont know how but it puts it in drop d . it was always easier for me

[LUISga55555]

huh im gonna try that

[dae0987]

i got a gig next fri and i dont know how to tune it in to drop d yet

[TACOSRDEBOMB]

the high e is an e. what kind of stament is that. LOL. but it is a good vid.

[CousinBand]

I like your voice xD

[SasukeDarkShadow]

wait hold up

how can u tune it in a tuner???

[omgitskyle1234]

...My E string snapped while trying to tune it in drop D...it's fckin confusing.

[aleckproctor2011c]

haha sucks to be you man

[xivilization]

hey mine 2.. i have to go buy one.. ._.

[NaturesGlory]

You probably tuned it up instead of down. Make sure the pitch of the string is getting lower, not higher.

[omgitskyle1234]

Oh! Alright, thanks a bunch bro!

[NaturesGlory]

Yeah its all good. I made that mistake at first too XD

[KillerratProductions]

i dont understand drop D at ALL! how the hell am i supposed to make such a low sounding string sound like a high sounding one? i know i sound like a dumbass but what the hell?

[HandsofGod94]

in standard tuning play the top and bottom string, they should sound like they have resonance, the same applies for drop d, keep going down till it has resonance with the d string, they dont actually sound the same, it does get confusing.

[BotKage]

i no this makes no sense to make a low string sound like a high string by tuning it down

[NaturesGlory]

Refer to my comment to KillerratProductions for some help =D

[aparthenis]

a musical scale repeats it self, once you go up high enough it is still 1 octave higher but its at the bottom of the scale letter wise

[NaturesGlory]

It does make sense, you just gotta use your ear a different way. You're looking for pitch, not the bass or treble feel of it. Notice on a bass guitar, standard tuning is EADG, and a guitar is EADGBE, yet the bass sounds a lot lower, thats because they are lower in bass/treble, but the pitch is the same. Keep practicing and your ear will better pick up pitch. Also, you'll know two strings are the same pitch if they a ping the same special way when you pluck them at the same time.

[stupidplants]

its called an octave....

[NaturesGlory]

Sure, but I was explaining it in laymens terms, for the benefit of him, and me lol.

[parisnicko]

I don't understand Drop-D tuning,just a half-step down. You can make a video about it

your lesson it's great 5 stars!!

[Screamo098]

thx dud . short simple and 2 th point

[karlsnow08]

Short, simple and good....great!

[HercNastyz999]

[alyssaaax124]

thank you!!!!!

[lalaland928]

Thanks man! you made it so simple = D

[6D6Y6L6A6N6]

thanks

[outtriggers]

great vid, the most simplest way to do it, without any confusing bs.

[Leonidas4444]

wow congrats dude thats alot of views

[synthesizer301]

unfuckingbelieveble

[ThisDarkenedHeart6]

Okay... Well, what a load of imbeciles visit these sites. All sorts of tuning is useful, whether it be Drop D or not. Grow up, guys. Seriously. The beauty of music lies in its diversity. The tuning doesn't sound bad, its your own fault if you can't make it sound good.

[imustbeinwuv91]

is there a difference between drop d and standard d

[Snowblind333]

yup

[redrumumkay]

Necrophagist

[twix1234567890]

ur gay

[tecklePie]

drop D is gay

[Xguitarroxx99X]

i just use the 7th fret method

[chiktron]

hey can you post how u can tune your guitar on drop B please?

[ancienthun]

drop to B thats a stupid thing. your string wont be hard enought and will sound quite

[disasterpeice9200]

It's not stupid. Bands use it. It's easiest to do on a 7 string. Seeing as the top string is B. Or you could resting your guitar with 7 string guitar strings... And just not use the .9 string on your 6 string guitar. It's hard to explain. But it IS NOT stupid. Some bands, like slipknot, even play in Drop A in some songs.... There new song Psychosocial is played in drop A. Go listen to it.

[tecklePie]

slipknot are well the best, remember that song they did where they wore the masks. that was pure talent. fuckin hill billies

[mdawgg13]

its not so much stupid as annoying for the people that want to play songs in drop d and in standard...and God help you if you want to play in drop B....

[tecklePie]

quiet

[xemoxhottiex2008]
