-
0:05 - 0:08Hi, How you doing? Justin here,
today I'm going to show you- -
0:08 - 0:12how to get you guitar into Double Drop D tuning little bit-
-
0:12 - 0:15more common on the acoustic guitar, but works on electric guitar great as well,
-
0:15 - 0:20very very simple tuning again, double drop D means that
-
0:20 - 0:23we are tuning the two outside strings- the 1st string and the 6th string
-
0:23 - 0:28down to a D, they are normally at E, so, both strings are gonna go
-
0:28 - 0:32down 1 tone, now to do that we're gonna play the
-
0:32 - 0:37open 4th string and play the 6th string
-
0:37 - 0:48and tune it down until its an octave lower okay? now,
-
0:48 - 0:51if you're struggling or you wanna get a little bit more accurate you can use the 12th fret
-
0:51 - 0:55of the thickest string will put that string up an octave
-
0:55 - 1:00so its the same as the open 4th string
-
1:00 - 1:04its a little easier to hear
-
1:04 - 1:07okay, now we're gonna tune the thinnest string down a tone
-
1:07 - 1:10as well, so we do that again, open 4th string
-
1:10 - 1:16gradually tuned down
-
1:16 - 1:19as usual we try and tune up to a note, so now just tune down to it
-
1:19 - 1:21tune a little bit lower than you know that it should be back up
-
1:21 - 1:26again you can use an octave at the 12th fret of the fourth string
-
1:26 - 1:32that's pretty good, Okay now,
-
1:32 - 1:35nearly every time you do an open tuning you get a need to play
-
1:35 - 1:37a little bit and do a little bit tweaky, its just a part of the way it is
-
1:37 - 1:38so,
-
1:38 - 1:42what you wanna do for a double drop D is play regular D chord, lift-off
-
1:42 - 1:51your second finger
-
1:51 - 1:56here we go just had turn up that thinnest string up just a tiny bit
-
1:56 - 1:58there you have it
-
1:58 - 2:02that would be a double drop D tuning, very common in acoustic stuff, really really nice
-
2:02 - 2:06its kind of common one for the fingerstyle and percussive
-
2:06 - 2:07guitar and all that sort of stuff
-
2:07 - 2:10I hope you really enjoy whatever song it is that you're going to learn
-
2:10 - 2:12using double drop D
-
2:12 - 2:16take care!!
