    Hey, that was a very good lesson…not too deep but gives thoughtful insight to let you go explore, because in the end isn’t that what it is all about? Let’s just simply say…it was inspiring.

    Leon, you are the person who inspired and literally pushed me to have a 6-string guitar in a Drop C tuning, cause I mainly play 7-strings in drop A. But I got myself Edwards John Sykes and it just smashes me in my face every happy time I hit the strings... Best. Fun. Ever. Thanks for your work and content! I do appreciate it very much.

    Number 2 for sure, those extended drop chords make up like 90% of my riffs. Picked it up from Evergrey, started checking out Kings X and I'm thinking that's probably where they got it.. Hooked for sure 🤘

    Dropping the top and bottom strings and tuning G up to A can yield some cool stuff besides uncomfortable string tension mismatching.

    Trying that example at 4:14 on my drop C# tuneD Tremonti. Using the Pitch Block to bump it up a half step to match you, but I think the Virtual Capo is getting confused on that chord because it's doing this really wonky wavering. Almost seems like that dissonance between the C and B note is freaking it out.

    Hi Leon, love drop D tuning, just wondered if you have ever tried or got a guitar with the drop d like EVH D Tuna? I know its pretty quick to do any way but I like the idea.

    @ianfurqueron5850 2 года назад

    30 years ago my band had a song in dropped D where I basically played a D octave drone with a wah pedal. The bass player then played a descending riff over that. One of our friends couldn't figure out what I was playing until he practiced with us and was amazed when he found out I was basically playing one chord through almost the entire song.

  • @yanossnicklefritz7064
    @yanossnicklefritz7064 2 года назад

    I write music for my voice, and I've messed with drop D and some other tunings over the years, but they haven't really inspired me with the grooves and arrangements I came up with for more than just in the moment. I have a higher range and mainline roots in hard and progressive rock though and have developed over many years my style. Experimentation is the path to more and new music though, so one of these days.....

    The open G added in the drop D sounds reminiscent of Danzig’s can’t speak”.
    If you haven’t heard that obscure Danzig song - give it a listen.

    What to play in Drop D...
    1. Play Ratt's "Lay it down"
    2. Play Stone Temple Pilots' "Piece of Pie" and "Down"
    3. Play Audioslave's "Show me how to live"
    4. Play Velvet Revolver's "Slither"
    5. Keep playing the aforementioned.
