Thread Name: Help with 'Drop D' tuning?
Subject: RE: Help with 'Drop D' tuning?
The two songs from the 70's that come to mind right away are "Peacfull easly Feeling" and "Angle from Montgomery" for this tuning. Think of the first four strings as in G tuning or look at a banjo chord book for some ideas up the neck.. Having the fith string an A is alot of fun cauce you can kind of do a C cord ( Staying away from the first and sixth string ) I use this tuning for "Crazy Man Micheil" from Fairport Convention. Just remember a tuning is just a tuning . Each one has a voice and can lend a ton of depth to very specsific songs. I hope you have fun , All the best , Guy
