What do you think about Drop C guitar tuning??
Drop C is the ****.





it sounds ace when playin open chord chugs
Reply:You can use it. And it is a hard tone, but it's impractical to me. It's either everyone has to have another guitar (including bass) to throw on after your drop c songs, or you have to play your whole set that way. It's just not versatile enough for me.





That being said, it's fun to play with....
Reply:Drop C is good for specific songs or rhythms. For instance the song done by the Moody Blues 'Question' is done by Justin Hayward on a guitar tuned to Drop C. If you have ever seen a Moody Blues concert, you will notice he changes from using a semi-hollow or acoustic for his other tunes to a guitar tuned to a Drop C. All of his other music he plays on stage is a standard tuning.


Most rock and roll is played in standard tuning. There are times when you will need Drop D or Drop C or some other form, but you should start learning with the guitar in standard 'E" tuning. The strings are tuned to E,B,G,A,D,E


in that order from the high E (1st string/thinnest string).
Reply:how do you do drop c? i've always wondered, i know drop d though... i never took lessons, i just teach myself so i wouldn't know. care to tell me?
Reply:not a huge fan of dropped tunings. but i like dropped b. i prefer half step down.
Reply:i prefer drop B, but thats just me
Reply:Drop C definitely gives you a sloppier sound for your guitar. You would want to use it or a drop C# for sloppy acoustic stuff. Lots of rockers use drop D or DADGAD and some times drop C# for their hard bass type songs. Drop C would definitly give you a sloppy or rock sound though.
