Drop D Tuning
Their song "Dance Dance" 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). See the picture
below. You can use the audio clip below to tune your low E string to
D for drop D tuning.
Intro/Verse
This is the easiest riff in this lesson. Apply a small amount of palm

play the notes on the 12th fret.
