Drop D

DADGAD tuning is so pretty. Everything sounds like an Irish folk song.

@LetUsGetLed Agreed! I use it a lot. I have a tuning with a low C that I use too, which is so rich and lovely. Hooray for alt tunings!

@amypetty While a neat tuning to be sure, it's open D, not dropped D. Dropped D simply lowers the low E to a D, whereas this makes an open strum of the strings a D chord.

Still, a sweet license plate. :-)

/pumps fist into air, yells KASHMIR!

@justabaldguy True dat. I've always used the term interchangeably knowing that they are not at all the same. Laziness, I guess.

Actually, DADGAD isn't open D either, it's DADGAD. (If that was a chord, it'd be Dsus4) Open D is DADF#AD.

@arto Also...true dat.
