I've been playing guitar for over a decade as a hobby and I just now decided to learn how to do this. Thanks for the super informative and easy to follow video!

[PurpleIsALetter]

Holy shit, I never could have figured out how to tune my guitar down a whole step! It's so difficult!

[WillBThrashed]

Hands down my favourite tuning for the mo....

[ConwayBob]

Nice. Another way to get it quickly back to standard tuning is to capo it up a whole step (two frets).

[kirklyttle]

I Just stick a capo on the 2nd fret and tune to standard, remove capo, hey presto, job done.

[Dannyrh]

Thanks for sharing. One of these days, I will find the time to master how to get that precise touch for the harmonic tones.

That’s so funny I was in pa and I heard you and your son preform I go to downtune my guitar and this vid pops up

[manuelalves]

i tought for a second this was Kirk Hammet giving me a lesson

[Billsingsong]

Should I do that for my acoustic 12 string guitar to ease the tension

[brandonumagat]

This in my book is the best tuning of all.

If you tune down a whole step in guitar tuna when you play the string, what does it say?

[brandnewyou]

Definitely do not mean to criticize because I like your video but you should have just said look you tune the top string to D and you tune the rest of the strings just like you always do and the corresponding letter on the tuner that's the one that's supposed to be dgcfad except for I've been tuned into cgcfad also since like 2001 I'm just super glad that someone else is doing this also totally dig your guitar too man awesome

[joshuakimbrell]

Put a capo on the 2nd fret and tune it to standard tuning. Take off capo. 🤘 there you have it

[KeyserTheRedBeard]

Zabardast, cheers from Canada....got a vintage 70s Des Lauriers DE-65T yesterday....got 11-50s and have drop tuned like u.... sounds amazing...can sing more comfortably as not E is D and C chord is

[purpleman]

i don’t understand do you match the 12th fret on low E string with the D string to get a Low D or?

[nickjones]

Fantastic version. Any chance of the notation or tablature.

[TheReysinhell]

that cool. I was wondering how to get harmonic for that 2nd string

[PJyrstinkangas]

After you're done, proceed by dropping the low D string down to A and impale people with your iron tusks.
