| | DADGAD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | On the band's eponymous first album, he used this guitar tuning to perform Black Mountain Side, a piece which was strongly influenced by Bert Jansch's earlier arrangement of a traditional Irish song called Blackwater Side (though Jansch actually used a simpler 'drop D' tuning). | | | Page later revisited the DADGAD tuning for the song Kashmir, which appeared on the band's sixth album Physical Graffiti. | | | Graham employed the tuning to great effect in his treatments of celtic music, but also the folk music of India and Morocco. |

| | When we use Drop D tuning, the E string becomes a D. This means that the top 3 strings on your guitar become D-A-D. To form a Drop D chord, simply move your finger on the 6th string up 2 frets (a whole step), barring the top 3 strings on your guitar. | | | Now that you know how to form a Drop D chord, its time to play some songs using Drop D. Here is a list of just a few songs that use Drop D tuning and chords. | | | Here is riff from a song using fifth chords in Drop D tuning. |

| | Technique - Drop D Tuning and Power Chords |
| | To create Drop D tuning on the guitar, you simply lower the pitch of the 6th string down one step to D. A simple way to do this is to pick the open 4th string, an open D note, and tune the 6th string to the sound of the ringing 4th string. | | | Tuning the sixth string down to D gives your a guitar a deeper, or heavier, sound when you use the 6th string in a chord. | | | The 6th string D note will be one octave lower than the 4th string D note, but you will still be able to hear when they are in tune as they will both be D notes. |

| | Drop D tuning is perhaps most widely-used by heavy metal or rock musicians, though it has also been used in many other types of music, including blues, country, and folk. | | | Drop D tuning, also known as dropped D or drop-D, is a guitar tuning style in which the lowest (sixth) string is tuned ("dropped") to D rather than E as in standard tuning. | | | Chords in drop-D tuning are formed as they are in standard tuning, with the exception of the sixth string, which is either omitted or fretted two semitones higher. |
