Guitar Tips in Drop D

Video Transcript

"In this example what I'm going to do is show you, in Drop D and I'm going to do it clean, before I showed fifth chords with the fifth root. Now this one, being that you drop down a whole step, you actually instead of, where it would sound like this. Say you were doing, rather the fifth chord, you're dropping down so it actually gives it even better flavor there. So instead of going, kind of like a powered fifth chord, you're doing a, in that flavor. So with the drums, I'll give you an example riff. And so what I did there was played C sharp, but had a F sharp root. Which, normally, you would play with B. In this case, you're doing F sharp with C, and it gives it a nice tonality, and it's been used quite frequently in new metal and new rock. And so what I was just doing there was a C sharp five with a F sharp root, and also adding the C sharp there. And just add some nice little scrapes in there, and then. Going from E to F sharp here. So it sounds really nice when, again, using a drop tuning and using a full step down for your root to add to this sounds really good."
