Hi, How you doing? Justin here,[br]today I'm going to show you-

0:00:07.660,0:00:12.062
how to get you guitar into Double Drop D tuning little bit-

0:00:12.062,0:00:15.078
more common on the acoustic guitar, but works on electric guitar great as well,

0:00:15.078,0:00:19.544
very very simple tuning again, double drop D means that

0:00:19.544,0:00:23.341
we are tuning the two outside strings- the 1st string and the 6th string

0:00:23.341,0:00:27.786
down to a D, they are normally at E, so, both strings are gonna go

0:00:27.786,0:00:31.541
down 1 tone, now to do that we're gonna play the

0:00:31.541,0:00:37.036
open 4th string and play the 6th string

0:00:37.036,0:00:47.943
and tune it down until its an octave lower okay? now,

0:00:47.943,0:00:51.448
if you're struggling or you wanna get a little bit more accurate you can use the 12th fret

0:00:51.448,0:00:54.582
of the thickest string will put that string up an octave

0:00:54.582,0:01:00.461
so its the same as the open 4th string

0:01:00.461,0:01:04.222
its a little easier to hear

0:01:04.222,0:01:07.312
okay, now we're gonna tune the thinnest string down a tone

0:01:07.312,0:01:10.221
as well, so we do that again, open 4th string

0:01:10.221,0:01:15.585
gradually tuned down

0:01:15.585,0:01:18.904
as usual we try and tune up to a note, so now just tune down to it

0:01:18.904,0:01:21.436
tune a little bit lower than you know that it should be back up

0:01:21.436,0:01:26.061
again you can use an octave at the 12th fret of the fourth string

0:01:26.061,0:01:31.631
that's pretty good, Okay now,

0:01:31.631,0:01:34.579
nearly every time you do an open tuning you get a need to play

0:01:34.579,0:01:37.221
a little bit and do a little bit tweaky, its just a part of the way it is

0:01:37.221,0:01:38.233
so,

0:01:38.233,0:01:41.822
what you wanna do for a double drop D is play regular D chord, lift-off

0:01:41.822,0:01:51.460
your second finger

0:01:51.460,0:01:56.427
here we go just had turn up that thinnest string up just a tiny bit

0:01:56.427,0:01:58.303
there you have it

0:01:58.303,0:02:01.665
that would be a double drop D tuning, very common in acoustic stuff, really really nice

0:02:01.665,0:02:05.821
its kind of common one for the fingerstyle and percussive

0:02:05.821,0:02:07.062
guitar and all that sort of stuff

0:02:07.062,0:02:10.312
I hope you really enjoy whatever song it is that you're going to learn

0:02:10.312,0:02:11.872
using double drop D[br]

0:02:11.872,0:02:15.872
take care!!
