Me, someone who was limited by the bounds of Rocksmith and their DLC: Eyes of a Stranger for bass, I Don't Believe in Love for guitar by Queensryche.

I started jamming with a singer in college and drop-D was the only way he could play guitar and show me how to play the songs he wanted to sing. This lead to me learning some Soundgarden, AIC, and Metallica "Sad But True".

I love the look on his face when he hears TOOL's time signature changes lol. Hell of a first riff indeed.

My first song (not riff) played in drop D tuning: Run Like Hell - Pink Floyd (The Wall - 1979). I learned this in the summer of 1980. I was 17 at the time and loved Pink Floyd, but this album just blew me away! Keeping that drop D going was....challenging to say the least considering my gear: '74 Strat (sunburst, of course) a chorus, distortion, and wah pedal, played through a massive 40 watt Fender Vibrolux Reverb. I still have all this stuff and it all still works! A LOT of yards were mowed, leaves raked, and groceries bagged to buy this stuff, lol!

first songs in Drop D were definitely Unsung and Killing in the Name, but the first songs I wanted to learn were some Lamb of God songs. I knew I didn't have the skill when I first started playing. But eventually I learned Laid to Rest, Vigil, and Walk With Me in Hell.

My very first electric Drop-D was Fat Bottom Girls by Queen. Before that Dan Fogelberg had caught my ear with acoustic drop-D “Tullamore Dew” comes to mind immediately as one of my first

“Outshined” by Soundgarden. Perfect introduction to Drop D in terms of melody and tempo. Even the bridge is easy for the beginning to intermediate level guitarist.

I remember years ago when the guitarist for Papa Roach was demonstrating how to play Last Resort, he said that the guitars were actually in standard tuning. The heavy sound was achieved by having the guitars play the 5th and the octave of a standard power chord, while the bass filled in the low end. It gave the impression that they were tuned down.

I got a guitar specifically to put it in DROP-D so I could learn RATT's, " LAY IT DOWN", Warren D is still amazing. Same album he also used Drop -D on "You're in Love".

Walk on a 7 in drop G with a 74ga string... it’s epic.

I'm not a guitarist, but the first song I played in drop d was unholy confessions by a7x. My friend played bass at the time and showed me that song and that was the start of my metal phase

@@randombassist9674 do not put off to tomorrow what you can accomplish today, my son. You never know when your last day is until it's too late. Well.... You RARELY know when your last day is, barring some strange circumstances or suicide. But basically, it's wise to just live with the assumption that you won't know just to be safe. Ok? Thank you, my son

Well I remember seeing an older guy at school playing a riff and importantly, I couldn’t see his feet. He was getting this amazing tone that peaked and troughed way more than I could manage and I was so impressed with his fingering technique. Years later I discovered wah wah! Also The Fields of the nephilim had a track called Sumerland (album version)and being so pissed off that I couldn’t play this really fast chorus riff. Then I discovered delay pedals!

Uriah Heep- The Wizzard. My dad taught me this song and it actually was the first full song I learned.

Unholy Confessions gang where y’all at?

My first drop D song was either Walk by Pantera or Kickstart My Heart by Motley Crue

I never really tried drop D, but in my journey in guitar playing I would always play a blues I came up with everything dropped a whole step. I think its called D standard but its such a cool tuning.

Disappointed he didn’t troll with ‘Your Body is a Wonderland’

My first drop D was Grand Conjuration by Opeth. Killer drop D riff!

Funnily enough it was kmacs "how to write a tool song"

I am old. The first I heard about Drop D tuning was when I attempted to learn “Unchained” from Van Halen’s Fair Warning album. 40 years later, it still sounds pretty amazing to hit that open D and then chug out that opening riff.

The Beautiful People and Down with the sickness were my first drop d riffs. Little did i know i was a step too high for DWTS

Mine was laid to rest. A little too advanced for when I started but I’ve got the hang of it now😂

My first drop D song was The thing that should not be. Only to find out years later that the official book was wrong and it wasn't drop D at all, It was really standard D.

My cousin had this bar on the border of Cali and AZ out pretty much in the middle of nowhere off of this river...it was kind of close to Palm Springs...anyway, my two musician siblings, and my niece who could sing and could pull off Bulls On Parade lyrics (my oldest brother didn't have time to learn it on bass, so he sat out, and a friend of ours that also came to that debauchery knew Bulls on bass, so he played on that one) ...we threw together a bunch of songs, showed up with a bunch of gear, and did this thrown together show there, and I guess my second cousin put the word out, and that place was packed...it was a crazy night...we did so many different rock musical styles and songs that night...kicked it off with Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band/ With A Little Help From My Friends...did stuff all the way from Jimmy Buffet to Rage...when we did that Rage song, my brother Mike (sadly passed away now...miss him greatly every day) often said he never struggled playing Rage stuff, because it just came natural to him...he'd say the what Rage's drummer did, his approach, was very much like how he just naturally approached playing...so a big portion of the crowd was a younger crowd, and there was a band from Cali that opened the night that was really good...anyway, we played all these old school songs, so when we got to doing Bulls On Parade, we caught the place way off guard, hahaha! We really worked on that song, too, so that it had that energy...started that song off with just comping on a string patch prelude on the keyboard I had while wearing my guitar, then when I got to the last chord of playing this minor key improvise on keyboard strings, I held the last chord with the sustain pedal so I could be ready to "Pada, bump, PaDa, bump Pada!"...when we hit that hard, that place went nuts...just a bouncing in unison crowd...even though not a drop D song, still one of my favorite experiences ever playing music with family and friends, hahaha!

My first drop D song (and currently still the only one I've learnt) is bleed American by Jimmy eats world
