@ashwinrk92 I must assume by this time you have learned how to tune to drop D, but if not, and for anyone else, you tune your low E string to a D. The easiest way is obviously with a tuner, but short of that I pluck both my low E and D strings and detune my E until I can't hear any oscillation in tone between the two strings. Either way, your low E drops a whole step. Although this song is in open D, so the whole drop D conversation is unnecessary here.

Great playing, realy beautiful.

open d is a great tuning for a lot of different styles: this sort of thing is obviously great with the right player, and classic blues/slide also ring well with this tuning. It takes some getting used to, but is versatile if you have faith in your left hand and in your guitar. Slide is not for every left hand or every guitar setup!
