Lesson 19: D tuning


D tuning, also called "One Step Lower" or "Whole Step Down," is an alternate tuning to a guitar. Each string is lowered by a whole tone or two semitones. The end result is this: D-G-c-f-a-d'. It is used mostly by heavy metal bands to achieve a lower sound and by blues guitarists, who use it to accommodate string bending.
