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