Online Guitar Tuner Drop D (e, B, G, D, A, D)

Online Guitar Tuner Drop D

This is the online guitar tuner drop D. In this tuner the sixth string is tuned up in D; it means, turn down two semitones to the sixth string (that normally is tuned up in E). The strings are tuned up in E, B, G, D, A, D counting from the first string (the thinnest) to the sixth one (the thickest). The Drop D guitar is the easiest to achieve alternate tuning.

You only have to change the sixth string one step down from the standard E note. If you want to explore new territories or want to give a more metallic and deeper sound to your music, this is a good point to start.

How to change the typical standard tuning to Drop D? Once you are sure you have tuned your guitar good in standard tuning, the other only thing to make is to lower the pitch of the 6th string (E) down 2 semitones (D).

This tuning has two important advantages. The first one is that it gives a lower range to the guitar, so you get a lower D instead of an E. The other advantage is the easy way to play "Power Chords" only with one finger in the last three strings (D, A, D); always keeping the Tonal-Fifth-Octave structure.

Modern rock musicians use the Drop D tuning very much due to the fact that it turns easier the power chord playing stuff and gives that distinctive sound to Modern Rock...use the online guitar tuner Drop D above to easily get it!

It is a very used tuning in New Metal and Metal. Famous guitarists use it? Wes Borland (Limp Bizkitt), Mike Einziger (Incubus), Steve Vai (in some of his guitars).
