  • Honestly Drop C is my Favorite Tuning... its heavy enough for those deep heavy riffs we all come to love from Metal Core and its also light enough to have a nice and warm tone for solos/bends and of course The best Sounding squealies i.e Killswitch

  • @drjubjubs852 This is definitely A# standard

  • @themetalchannel96 Not everyone can afford to just buy a new guitar man... cmon bro

  • @allhasfadedband

    Fail Indeed! LMAO.......playing standard power chords in B with a (drop B guitar) not the tuning lol. oh man....youngsters these days

  • drop b is stupid if you wanna get a low heavy sound just get a 7 string guitar

  • The guitar is in Bb standard...fail

  • Bb....expert fail

  • i didn't know Tony Hawk plays guitar.

  • @galex66969 I have to disagree. I think drop C# is the best tuning because you can play alot faster without getting that base oversadowing the notes.But drop C is definatly my second favorite.SOAD FOR LIFE!!!!

  • Well it would be B not Drop B,.

  • @Zam0rak41 the main diference are the powerchords (for example indexfinger on 6st string 5th fred, ring and pinky on the 4th and 5th strings 7th fred), in drop tuning you just place one finger on, for example, the 5th fred, and just hit the strings 4 to 6. (string 1 being the thinnest, 6 being the thickest) its just an easyer way to play. check out some powerchord vids or drop tuned powerchords or something if you still dont understand, any drop tuning is played the same way so np :P
