А higher or lower tone
A page with instruction about how to tune the guitar higher or lower.
Drop D
Drop D guitar tuning is useful for them who play quints. Drop D is harder than classic tuning because 6-th string is tuned lower.
Drop C
Drop C is even lower than Drop D. Tune like this if you want harder sound.
Double Drop D
Double Drop D differs from the classic tuning dropped by the tone of the first and sixth strings. Thus, here at once 3 strings are tuned to note D.
Open D
Open D in the open strings gives D-major.
Open C
Open C sounds like a chord C. If you take a barre on the second fret, it will be D, on the fourth fret - E, on the fifth - F and so on. Convenient for playing major chords.
Open G
Open G forms an open G chord (G major).
