![]() Technically a “drop C” tuning would be C-A-D-G-B-E’. ![]() This tuning is the same as dropped D, but each string is lowered an additional whole step, or two semitones. ![]() Some guitarists choose to use a capo on the second fret with this tuning so that they can retain the ease of playing power chords without the darker sound created by the D tuning. It is also used extensively in classical guitar music and transcriptions since it allows open strings to sound the tonic and dominant as part of the bassline in the keys of D and D minor. It allows power chords (also known as bare fifth chords) to be played with a single finger on the lowest three strings. This tuning is not only used by metal and rock bands, but also folk musicians.
