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

2
00:00:07,660 --> 00:00:12,062
how to get you guitar into Double Drop D tuning little bit-

3
00:00:12,062 --> 00:00:15,078
more common on the acoustic guitar, but works on electric guitar great as well,

4
00:00:15,078 --> 00:00:19,544
very very simple tuning again, double drop D means that

5
00:00:19,544 --> 00:00:23,341
we are tuning the two outside strings- the 1st string and the 6th string

6
00:00:23,341 --> 00:00:27,786
down to a D, they are normally at E, so, both strings are gonna go

7
00:00:27,786 --> 00:00:31,541
down 1 tone, now to do that we're gonna play the

8
00:00:31,541 --> 00:00:37,036
open 4th string and play the 6th string

9
00:00:37,036 --> 00:00:47,943
and tune it down until its an octave lower okay? now,

10
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

11
00:00:51,448 --> 00:00:54,582
of the thickest string will put that string up an octave

12
00:00:54,582 --> 00:01:00,461
so its the same as the open 4th string

13
00:01:00,461 --> 00:01:04,222
its a little easier to hear

14
00:01:04,222 --> 00:01:07,312
okay, now we're gonna tune the thinnest string down a tone

15
00:01:07,312 --> 00:01:10,221
as well, so we do that again, open 4th string

16
00:01:10,221 --> 00:01:15,585
gradually tuned down

17
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

18
00:01:18,904 --> 00:01:21,436
tune a little bit lower than you know that it should be back up

19
00:01:21,436 --> 00:01:26,061
again you can use an octave at the 12th fret of the fourth string

20
00:01:26,061 --> 00:01:31,631
that's pretty good, Okay now,

21
00:01:31,631 --> 00:01:34,579
nearly every time you do an open tuning you get a need to play

22
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

23
00:01:37,221 --> 00:01:38,233
so,

24
00:01:38,233 --> 00:01:41,822
what you wanna do for a double drop D is play regular D chord, lift-off

25
00:01:41,822 --> 00:01:51,460
your second finger

26
00:01:51,460 --> 00:01:56,427
here we go just had turn up that thinnest string up just a tiny bit

27
00:01:56,427 --> 00:01:58,303
there you have it

28
00:01:58,303 --> 00:02:01,665
that would be a double drop D tuning, very common in acoustic stuff, really really nice

29
00:02:01,665 --> 00:02:05,821
its kind of common one for the fingerstyle and percussive

30
00:02:05,821 --> 00:02:07,062
guitar and all that sort of stuff

31
00:02:07,062 --> 00:02:10,312
I hope you really enjoy whatever song it is that you're going to learn

32
00:02:10,312 --> 00:02:11,872
using double drop D


33
00:02:11,872 --> 00:02:15,872
take care!!
