"Hi, We're 'expertvillage', we are a group of assholes who get other assholes to make shitty "tutorials" in order to take your soul, i mean "time" and also force you to watch adverts as long as our videos so that we can rake in the cash, but if you are tired of our shit, then copy and paste this comment onto everyone of our videos and get it to the highest rated comment on that vid, if this is done correctly we will delete this youtube channel, if not then we will make a vid on copy&paste"....

@RedneckChexMix

Thanks,lol it's really hard to learn to simplests licks if you're a newb on guitar with all these "pro's" on youtube,and enspecially if you have crappy equipment.

I started learning classical guitar,now I know how to play real notes like CDEFGABC on a stave. (those are just few)

I'll try what you said and see what I get :D

[RedneckChexMix]

@Zoopyzoop1002 yea i figured that but it seems like no one wants to help anyone so i commented just in case - anyways man you're right 7E=0A, but i said low E to the 7th fret A string, not E, like 0E=7A, or for Drop D 0E=5A , i just like that better - either way you got it now man. later.

[Zoopyzoop1002]

@RedneckChexMix

Figured that long ago.

And btw, you tune your low e to 5th fret of the A string for normal tuning. 5e = 0a

And 7th for the drop D (7e=0a). Correct me if I'm wrong.

[RedneckChexMix]

@Zoopyzoop1002 u know how to tune E standard (normal guitar tuning)? u know how you usually tune the low E to the 7th fret on the A string - well instead of tuning the 0 to the 7 tune the 0 to the 5th fret A string = drop D.

[RedneckChexMix]

@Zam0rak41 tune it back up to an E....lol....

[RedneckChexMix]

@Elthehablo iron maiden is not metal anymore dude sorry its not 1980 anymore - Drop D isn't used anymore in metal except for Lamb of God and a few other bands - most bands are Drop C or B, B standard, etc. A lot of 7 string usage now too.

[RedneckChexMix]

@HalfEvilTripl3 all that remains = D standard, As I lay dying = mostly Drop C - and C# tuning? dude what are you talking about C sharp lol....
