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

  • @jbnaruto93 Slow down there, Dave Mustaine.

  • @yetikeeper lolz kay

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

  • @yetikeeper that's D standard dude.

  • @xCIHIRIS no its not. Drop D is DADGBE

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

  • @MrShaggyJosh ahahaha me too!

  • 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!
