Heavy Metal Guitar Lesson: Drop 'D' Tuning

[poppacooter]

thanks for this video i never done this before and am going to try it now i seen your video

[CameronS654321]

I'd love some more heavy metal style guitar lessons not neccesarily on songs but on heavy metal techniques, tunings, etc.

[jrpipik]

Important note for beginners: you're only strumming the top three strings. Mute or just avoid picking the rest.

As I understand it Tony Iommi developed this style early in his days with Black Sabbath because he had cut the tip of his finger off in an industrial accident and had to come up with a simplified style. That accident was responsible for putting the HEAVY in HEAVY METAL!

At 1:16 I thought you were about to play Mechanix by Megadeth :P

[CGD26]

@MrShaggyJosh ahahaha me too!

[xCIHIRIS]

Now, do drop B XD

[finalfantasy8VIII]

awesome! :D now I just got to get my amp to work lol

[XxizikbxX]

teach us Classical Gas.

[Retardvideoprojects]

Dude can you show us how to play the stuff in this video?

[MrBac755]

Do you take requests for songs to teach? Because I have a few that I recently discovered & they really inspired me. & The least I want to do is be able to play them, but every tab I find is really crappy. If you do take requests for songs, please let me know. & Keep on rocking. :)

If metal head aliens invaded earth we can call bob cause when he plays they will bang their heads so fast they will vaporize them selves

[Retardvideoprojects]

@jyunit95 dude thats badass, you should write a song about that

[walrein947]

I say when you have done renovating your home you should just make some complete bad ass insanely hard lesson for whatever you wish to teach us and see if these guys including myself could keep up. I'm sure it would be pretty interesting lesson to show us either way :)

[SuperCrudedude]

Nice! 

[jedimastergarcia87]

Nice. Hope more drop d tuning lessons comes out. But for drop d tuning I find it easier to use the 7th fret on the low e and d strings, thats how I get drop d tuning. I'm into All That Remains style music so hopefully you can do a lesson in their style also with some breakdowns.

[yetikeeper]

way to go Bobby. Just change the name of the video and overdub your voice so all the people commenting about open D tuning now look totally stupid.

[jbnaruto93]

common man , this is to fucking basic show us some advanced things :)

[BobbyCrispy]

@jbnaruto93 did you read my 'renovation' comment?

[jbnaruto93]

@BobbyCrispy yeah !!! :D

[SupaOfSupa]

@jbnaruto93 bobby has lotsss of advanced lessons look through it



[elburrodiablo]

@jbnaruto93 Slow down there, Dave Mustaine.

[smp156]

You deserve a new amplifier. and what happened to your wrist?

[MrMontonman]

Thanks Bobby that was a very useful lesson for beginners like myself.

[lolwut162]

Drop D? Go listen to tool.

[IllumTheMessage]

Thanks!

[djakew77]

[JasonL1214]

Not a bad lesson or anything, but personally I hate this sound. I would like to see some more complicated lessons as said before. Maybe some classic or southern rock that you don't already have

[rossyboy1081]

Can you play Holy Diver by Dio?

[Aerosmitty77]

@rossyboy1081 It's a very easy song to play. Just look up tabs if you have to. Its like 3 barre chords.

[uzi1951]

How can anyone dislike any of Mr. Crispy's videos?

[luke196986]

Great job

[SvenskeLoeg]

Nice vid bobby, but please make more complicated lessons to people who played a long time.

please like comment if you agree

[BobbyCrispy]

@SvenskeLoeg i agree, just that i am very very busy at home renovating my house, so i'm lucky that i can make guitar lesson videos at all....i'll make more complicated videos when i'm finished renovating :)

[SvenskeLoeg]

@BobbyCrispy Thanks dude, your the best. It could be awesome if you made a tutorial of "The Battle Of Evermore" by Led Zeppelin for a big Led Zeppelin fan.

[gunsofhell1]

@BobbyCrispy Hey bobby! what happened to the vid where you where selling the guitar lap hook for the flying v? if wanted to buy one...Thx for the lessons!

[master18666]

@SvenskeLoeg Stop being so ignorent, what about the begginers? Everybody has to start somewhere and not be put off by expert videos and anyway, if you are advanced you shouldn't need lessons!

[master18666]

Bobby those riffs are fucking awesome! You should release some solo stuff or have kids and get them to grow up in a band playing the songs you wrote! They can call the band BC Tribute and everyone will think it's a tribute to BC Rich guitars but only we bobby students will know the truth! Rock on!

[SvenskeLoeg]

@master18666 So random, but cool idea! :D

[master18666]

@SvenskeLoeg Thanks. :)

[ADL30004]

Isn't this drop D, not open D?

[xCIHIRIS]

@ADL30004 if it was drop D, the tuning would go D G C F A D, This is "D Standard", or "Open D".

[yetikeeper]

@xCIHIRIS no its not. Drop D is DADGBE

[xCIHIRIS]

@yetikeeper that's D standard dude.

[yetikeeper]

@xCIHIRIS d standard is DGCFAD (everything down 1 step). Google "D standard tuning"

[yetikeeper]

@yetikeeper its called "drop D" because you drop the Low E string to D. Hence Drop D. A guitar is usually tuned to E Standard EADGBE. Therefore D Standard is DGCFAD. It has been this way since I started playing in 1976.

[xCIHIRIS]

@yetikeeper lolz kay

[SecretAznMan74]

Title of vid is Open D Tuning (DADF#AD)? You show Drop D tuning (DADGBE) in the vid... Accidental mis-title?
