Drop C Guitar Tuning

Drop C Guitar String Notes

• 1 string - D₄ (the thinnest)
• 2 string - A₃
• 3 string - F₃
• 4 string - C₃
• 5 string - G₂
• 6 string - C₂

How to set up Drop C: all the strings are per tone lower than Drop D. If compare to the classical guitar tuning, then the first five strings are per tone lower, the sixth is two tones lower. In the figure at the top of the page you can see the notes on the guitar fretboard with this tuning.

Thicker and harder strings are better to play Drop C.
