Double Drop D

Elx

So, after 25 years I have figured out how to play Going to California by Led Zeppelin Imagine the frustration trying to figure it out in standard tuning...I'm a happy man today!

Since you've got it tuned up, now go and play Cinnamon Girl by Neil Young.

What the dickens is double drop D? Sounds cabbagey.

Both high and low E dropped to D. I didn't actually spend 25 years trying to figure it out, but I remember when I was young it was very confusing and frustrating because I had no idea what the tuning was...

Ah!

So DADGBD? Gotcha.

I can definitely recommend CGDA.

Being a Neil fan, I always did the Double Drop. Eventually, when I thought I was a grunge god, I realised the Single Drop was just as effective
