Topic: Drop D Tuning -- Am I doing it right?
This could be a stupid question . . .
When I research on the web about tuning my guitar to Drop D almost everyone says tune the open E (6th) string to the same tone and pitch as the open D string. Easy. Well, I've never been good at distinguishing tone difference and all that stuff, so I'm not sure I'm getting it right.
Here's what I do. I play the E (6th) string at the 12th fret (no harmonics, just normal pressure on the string) and using my chromatic tuner I tune the string to D.
Is this okay, or am I not finding Drop D at all?
Thanks.
