so drop d tuning is is just changing the top e string? i've seen a couple of other videos but they made it seem more complicated than that. =/

Thank you for actually putting a video showing what you can do with this tuning BESIDES POWER CHORDS. I use it to make it easier to play strange 9th and suspended chords. Hopefully this will put to rest the whole "Drop D is for people with no talent debate"
