Members tlbonehead Posted April 22, 2012 Members Share Posted April 22, 2012 a number of Collective Soul songs use dropped-D, or dropped-C# to be totally correct. Lakini's Juice(LIVE) is dropped-D I believe. Oh yeah, Higher(CREED) is dropped-D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bloolight Posted April 23, 2012 Members Share Posted April 23, 2012 Here's an archived thread from UG with a bunch of Drop-D songs: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/archive/index.php?t-1467045.html Kashmir - Led Zeppelin Kashmir is in DADGAD, so there's more than just one string tuned down on that one. A good sized chunk of Soundgarden's work seems to have been drop-D tuned. Fat-Bottomed Girls by Queen was in drop-D, along with (I believe) White Man and Prophet's Song.

Members IBDBB Posted April 23, 2012 Members Share Posted April 23, 2012 ^, yup, I think all of in utero was in E flat tuning wasn't it? All of Tool except 2 songs are in Drop D. Them Bones, Sludge Factory, I stay Away, by Alice in Chains are in Drop C# as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members turnip Posted April 23, 2012 Members Share Posted April 23, 2012 Most (if not all?) of Machine Head's catalog is in Dropped-n tuning (usually C# or B, I think).[video=youtube;pjl5AKpsDoU] [video=youtube;Ys1rRnG6vzM] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he used some heavy strings, I can't imagine dropping to C# on a Fender Mustang on my usual 10 gauge strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rog951 Posted April 23, 2012 Members Share Posted April 23, 2012 A few from our setlist that I didn't see mentioned yet: Slither by Velvet Revolver.Hash Pipe by Weezer.Open Up Your Eyes by Tonic. Also "It's Love" by Kings X is probably their most popular tune but 75% of their stuff is in drop D. Some great riffage in their catalog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
