Replies mynameisdan Posted at 4:34 pm on April 20, 2008 It's just drop D and down 1/2 step.  It'll sound fine in drop D though if you don't want to retune all your strings.  Easiest way to change standard to drop D is to tune the 7th fret of the 6th string to the open 5th string. (make sure to only change the 6th string when doing this). myboringlife5 Posted at 5:42 pm on April 19, 2008 put it low and it will sound perfectly Niddan Posted at 5:41 pm on April 19, 2008 using the machineheads Space Ace Posted at 5:41 pm on April 19, 2008 get a tuner, the low e goes down to C# the A goes down a semitone, and follow with the rest of the strings.
