drop d isn't that bad, i don't need a tuner, cuz i just tune it til it sounds like the normal E when played on the 2nd fret... drop C is a dif story

Why the hell do people have to write songs in alternate tunings

Because they sound SOOOO cool.

My advice? Invest in purchasing the Boss TU-2 pedal. I think it's the most important pedal an artist can have. I have one, and not only does it power all my pedals, but it makes tuning, standard and open, more easier than...*insert clever metaphor here*

I hate changing tunings so when i play a song thats in drop D i learn it in standard by just playing for example 555 as 355... but, do you know how to play these power chords (that are in drop d) in standard tuning?

I think one of the main reasons people play in lower tunings is because it matches their singer's key better. Either that or because 90% of the songs in Drop D are in D Dorian, which means the song is in the key of C, and in order to hit that low C power chord they need to tune down some more. Anyway, the best way to tune to drop D while in standard (In my opinion) is to hit a natural harmonic on the 7th fret of the low E string and then play the A string open while the harmonic is ringing on top, and then tune the low E string down until the two pitches sound the same. But yea, Drop C is a pain. You basically have to tune the low string to Drop D, then tune your guitar to the low E string that's been dropped as if you were tuning your guitar to standard, and then do the drop d trick AGAIN, and you should be in drop C. To much work to do inbetween songs if you're playing a live show. If you have a song to play that's in Drop C but all the others are simply in drop D and you don't have another guitar to tune differently, the best idea ( ... )

I agree. Gold hardware is for guitar gods like Steve Vai, not us lowly mortals. hehe.

Er...i dont know anything about guitars and stuff, except for listening to them, so if you can play System or Tool or even Nickelback are pretty cool, then youll have won my heart forever

Happy birthday me!

anyway, i say go with electric acoustic. Two words are better than one.
