Songs in Drop D Tuning

[Nick Adams]

Hey. I just got an Epiphone SG and I'm looking for some good Drop D songs to try it out (and I mean full Drop D, with both E strings going down a step). Anybody got any suggestions?

[Gabriel]

I'm not 100% sure, but I do believe that most of what Dope plays is in Drop D.

Pretty much most music these days is in Drop D, or Drop C tuning - which can be played in D, and doesn't sound too bad. You could play some Mudvayne in Drop D, Rage, Saliva have some quite fun riffs, some early Incubus, songs like Everlong by the Foo Fighters, Avenged Sevenfold, Killswitch Engage or The Bronx.

For some Metal: Children of Bodom, Dark Tranquillity, the old In Flames, The Haunted, Testament, At the Gates all play in drop D.

Drop D you say?

Most nu-metal bands use it. But if you mean like drop D on the sixth string only, alot of modern bands use it

[grind your soul]

Nu-metal bands tend to use lower than drop-D.

Mudvayne, for instance, use drop-B on six strings, while Korn use drop-A, amazingly, on some of their songs.

silverchair use drop-D and standard.. Deftones use drop-D on a couple of songs. .hopesfall. use drop-D [if you're into that].
