Drop D tuning is an alternative form of guitar tuning in which the lowest (sixth) string is tuned down from the usual E of standard tuning by one whole step to D. [1] So where standard tuning is E 2 A 2 D 3 G 3 B 3 E 4 (EADGBe), drop D is D 2 A 2 D 3 G 3 B 3 E 4 (DADGBe). Drop D tuning, as well as other lowered altered tunings, are often used ...
Pantera's song "The Underground in America" and "Sandblasted Skin" from their album The Great Southern Trendkill is in G-g-C-F-A-D, Drop G variation with D standard. Soulfly used this tuning on "Eye for an Eye" on their self-titled album, although live performances of this song are now in A standard.
Note that these chords are not the power chords commonly played in double drop D tuning. Power chords generally mute the higher notes rather than the lower notes: For purposes of making the table easier to read, spaces are provided between each number when the fret number becomes a double digit.
The suspended fourth chord is often played inadvertently, or as an adornment, by barring an additional string from a power chord shape (e.g., E5 chord, playing the second fret of the G string with the same finger barring strings A and D); making it an easy and common extension in the context of power chords.
A popular style of partial capo is the "Esus" style, which clamps the A, D, and G strings of a guitar. [2] When placed upon the second fret, it forms an Esus chord, and when turned upside down, it forms an A chord. There are many partial capos on the market today that clamp anywhere from 1 to 5 strings.
Also, for a 6-string guitar, drop A tuning is achieved by tuning all strings down a 4th with the lowest string tuned 1 additional step down as follows A1-E2-A2-D3-F#3-B3. This is a "drop 1" tuning in the key of B (i.e. tune the whole guitar down a perfect fourth from standard tuning , then tune the 6th string a whole step down).
