The Drop D Tuning (Advantages and Disadvantages)



What is Drop D?
Drop D is one of the secret techniques in tuning guitars that are usually used by metal or rock guitarists, by loosening string 6 in standard E tuning so that it becomes D-tone or lowered by 2 columns or 1 tone. As always, of course this type of tuning has advantages and disadvantages, here they are.

Advantages
-Easier when using basic keys5. Example: F5, G5, A5.
-Easy to play power chords. Because usually it only involves strings number 4, 5 and 6 only. So, with one finger is enough to play the guitar with a drop D tuning.
-More make the strings and neck guitar durable. Because the strings are loosened, the guitar neck is not too pulled by the strings.

Disadvantages
-It is difficult to use ordinary basic key locks other than basic keys5. Example: F, G, Em.
But for those who are used to it, it might be easy.
-It is difficult to reach a minor key because this function basically functions to power the power chord.

That's how little explanation about Drop D tuning. Actually there are many more fun tunes commonly used by other metal guitarists, such as drop C #, C, B, A, even Drop E / e. But from the whole drop technique only Drop D is the simplest way to play it, and this is very popular to use.
