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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:00:31.541 --> 00:00:37.036
open 4th string and play the 6th string

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

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

00:00:51.448 --> 00:00:54.582
of the thickest string will put that string up an octave

00:00:54.582 --> 00:01:00.461
so its the same as the open 4th string

00:01:00.461 --> 00:01:04.222
its a little easier to hear

00:01:04.222 --> 00:01:07.312
okay, now we're gonna tune the thinnest string down a tone

00:01:07.312 --> 00:01:10.221
as well, so we do that again, open 4th string

00:01:10.221 --> 00:01:15.585
gradually tuned down

00:01:15.585 --> 00:01:18.904
as usual we try and tune up to a note, so now just tune down to it

00:01:18.904 --> 00:01:21.436
tune a little bit lower than you know that it should be back up

00:01:21.436 --> 00:01:26.061
again you can use an octave at the 12th fret of the fourth string

00:01:26.061 --> 00:01:31.631
that's pretty good, Okay now,

00:01:31.631 --> 00:01:34.579
nearly every time you do an open tuning you get a need to play

00:01:34.579 --> 00:01:37.221
a little bit and do a little bit tweaky, its just a part of the way it is

00:01:37.221 --> 00:01:38.233
so,

00:01:38.233 --> 00:01:41.822
what you wanna do for a double drop D is play regular D chord, lift-off

00:01:41.822 --> 00:01:51.460
your second finger

00:01:51.460 --> 00:01:56.427
here we go just had turn up that thinnest string up just a tiny bit

00:01:56.427 --> 00:01:58.303
there you have it

00:01:58.303 --> 00:02:01.665
that would be a double drop D tuning, very common in acoustic stuff, really really nice

00:02:01.665 --> 00:02:05.821
its kind of common one for the fingerstyle and percussive

00:02:05.821 --> 00:02:07.062
guitar and all that sort of stuff

00:02:07.062 --> 00:02:10.312
I hope you really enjoy whatever song it is that you're going to learn

00:02:10.312 --> 00:02:11.872
using double drop D


00:02:11.872 --> 00:02:15.872
take care!!
