"Whisky Lullaby" by Brad Paisley and Alisson Krauss
Difficulty: Intermediate
Drop D Tuning
This song is in drop D tuning. In drop D tuning the low E string
is tuned down one whole step to D. This enables the guitarist to
play power chords with a single finger. If your favorite band uses
drop D tuning and you want to experiment with this tuning, by all
means do so. What ever you do, don't learn the guitar in drop D tuning-you'll
get all mixed up.
To tune your guitar to drop D tuning, first make sure your tuned
to standard tuning. Then you'll want to tune your low E string down
two steps to D (we drop it down one step, hence the name).
