I love the comment " I don't know guys"just making stuff here," is brilliant for the beginner out there. Amazing Love it.

Your Tool tutorials really got me introduced to drop tunings. I appreciate your videos so much man. I play in drop A# now for my own stuff, but I've been recently been back to drop D with Fear Inoculum dropping. Keep up the great work!

What string thickness you’re using? I use 12-54 and wonder if I should try going thicker. Really don’t want to file the nut again 🙃

my tuning to Drop D is always ends with playing Porcupine Tree - Blackest Eyes intro:D

The way you described going from pentatonic to frigian at the end made SO much sense to me man. If the rest of your lessons make half that much sense I'm a lifetime watcher

If you realy want girls throwing themselves at your feet.....get yourself a cheap loud (100w) amp,a cheap guitar (no trem) ,a tuner app,a spare empty wharehouse with electric, and thrash some drop D over and over till your fingers hurt... If you've got something to say....do it with volume (Overkill by Motorhead is a good start) no fancy chords but full on "New Metal"....over to you Matt.

I've been getting the Tool song tutorials in my recommended from years ago for the last few weeks, good to see this guy is still going strong.

He's doing a great job covering those. It helps us to make our guitar playing more powerful.

I hope I won't sound to be exaggerating, but the bonus tip is pretty much the most "wow" tip for beginners I've ever heard on YT in many years. Many people who pick up the guitar learn to only tune with a tuner, but the oscillation of the two notes is something simple yet so fundamental to understand how sounds work. Big props!

Long time ago someone showed me how to tune up using harmonics and listening to the pulses of the octaves like you were doing. A cool way to tune up

Yet again you have blown me away. I am past the beginning stage now but this was all EXACTLY what I needed to get out of the sonic rut I was in. Thank you Greg!!!!!

ive been playing guitar off/on since like 2006, and he said something that made so much since. He basically said give yourself a "canvas" to play on, and wow dude yeah I love how he said that.. goes to show you are never too good to learn something!!

This guy makes the guitar less intimidating honestly! such simple ideas which lead you to some badass riffs!

Another tip for beginners. When you tune to drop D, tune the lowest string just slightly flat. That will compensate for the difference in tension and keep you in tune a bit better

Thanks for this! Really. As a life long standard player (E or D standard) I was having a little trouble getting away from blues scale one finger riffs (fun as shit of course) but your ideas have opened my eyes. I like the higher string triads while chugging on the low string (I'm playing drop C, btw, trying to transpose from drop D as you play on screen). You truly gave me some new ideas. Thank you very much, sir 🤘🏻👍🏻

Thank you for your continued efforts on putting out a great product. Your knowledge and delivery is unmatched especially in the Tool department. Super stoked that you are working through the new album. Once again thank you very much. Cheers BWS Clovis Ca

A great tutorial for beginners, extending on how to drop tune, would be how to correctly set the intonation for the dropped string since most guitars will come set up for standard. Will help a lot of people stay in tune across the fretboard while they explore drop d!

Most guitars don't come set up for anything. This is a beginner video and imo intonation is an intermediate topic.

This is how guitar teaching should be. Good theory but actually based around playing something with it not just trying to find notes with no real understanding of their actual effect on the piece of music.

I loooooove drop D

“All of a sudden it goes away” that shit clicked man, thank you

I know you've touched on it, but Id love to see you do another video on some more complex or interesting chords and alternate voicing in drop tunings. Also, i've recently started playing around with dropping that high string to match, although it does change things a lot, but you get some really cool sounds under your fingers which is a nice change (im in drop C usually)

Nice.....the fog has left my brain......Thank you.

Great lesso!! Suscribed too. Would like to see more videos on drop D..what else can we do with it. Thank you!

Been watching you for about a year now, and I play exclusively in drop D so this is one I've been waiting for. I would love to see a video of different Adam Jones riffs to practice various techniques. For example, Schism is good practice for rhythmic hammers and Vicarious is a good steady odd time riff to practice counting.

I always thought drop d was dropping to the open e major chord shape in d at the nut. So DADFAD. Hard to do much with that on the plain strings without a lot of learning and practice.

Someone who has it in his soul..but quickly left that feeling to be a teacher of sorts. I'm on the fence with this . Glad its uploaded non theless.

Might have to get black kiesel

Dropped-D tuning (D A D G B E)

Any content on DADGAD?

long time watcher first time commenter....have some buzzing off the back hum bucker on my guitar when i play drop D higher on the guitar neck --- is this as simple as raising the bridge-- any considerations here---not experienced enough at messing around with the guitar in this way

@JackieBGoode

4 жыл бұрын

Gabe K when you lower it to D, the string becomes more loose. It makes it so that it will move up and down more when it vibrates, making it more likely to hit the fretboard. If it’s an electric however, your amp probably won’t pick this up.

Cool... For a 7 string guitar, in Drop D tuning, what will be the tuning for the 7th string?

The "wobble" is actually called ,"dissonance".. Adam Jones does it quite a bit .It can sound very cool if done correctly .. THANK YOU Mr Jones!!! TOOL

2:52 sounds like Glenn Tipton Paint it Black.

what the string gage best for d drop

when I play the DM chord in the 5th position, on my guitar it sounds an octave lower. I have to play 789 to get your 567 DM sound what gives?

What string gauge are you using ? :)

Does it mean with drop D tuning it’s better to stay with the key of D because of the open D string?? And if I want to use a different key should I tune it down to another drop tuning like drop B for example if I want the key of B ??

@axeofcreation

Not necessarily but think of how many Metal songs (Metallica) are centered around Em. That's because the focus or general style of that music in based off the low string. Drop D just makes exploring and creating an D centered harmonic backdrop easier.

What's the tuning called that you're moving into drop d from?

I dropped the e string to d, now all the other strings are out of tune. What happened?

To tune to drop D, just fret the low E at the 7th fret and detune it until it's the same as the 5th string. (String next to the low E).

Lee McDonald The point of being able to tune to drop D by ear is you can train your ear. You don’t want to make it easy for your ears, you want to get them used to detecting small changes in notes so you can adjust by ear. Tuning like this makes ear training a lot less impactful. Don’t tune like this.

My guitar and bass stay in Drop D. All I play is Tool.
