A New Level is actually a whole step down - but it's easier and sounds fine in drop D

Davidian is in drop B, but you can get away with drop C

Awesome!

Total Guitar had it tabbed as a whole step down - when listening to it, it does sound as if it is in Drop D

I thought: experts who tab out many songs by ear every month probably have a better ear than me. :haha

It's so much fun to play in drop D :headbang:

:cheers:

Both of those songs are down a half step so it's (DbAbDbGbBbEb)

What haven't been said yet:

Township Rebellion- RATM
All Apolgies- Nirvana (DbAbDbGbBbEb)

[blazelust]

Most Creed is in drop D. 'Torn' is particularly fun, IMO.

Opeth's 'Demon of the Fall' and 'Blackwater Park' are in drop D.

If you're looking for a challenge, Toccata and Fugue in Dmi.

I'm sure I'll remember others later.

[kingthomas]

pure massacre, and israel's son by silverchair. badass songs. a new level by pantera. ghost of tom joad by ratm. also take the power back. or is that song on standard tuning? :D

[Wiegraf]

Moby Dick by Led Zeppelin.

[omgitscj]

all a7x is in drop d except for radiant eclipse (its in drop c) and 3 to 1 )Eric(Draven can't play any of their songs to find out how energetic and exhilirating they are. I advise you to learn chapter four by a7x (its my first song its really easy and fun to learn and its long so it will keep you practicing, getting you better) but stay away from the solo until you are better (or you might be able to play it now but its fast tempo). Or unholy confession because its easy and theres no crazy solo that stops you from completing the song.

[BrokenBricks]

Ride the Wings of Pestilence

[LP RockerBabe]

Linkin Parks songs are cool points of authority
Muse feeling goodis a good simple song to play in drop d

[/\/\()()]

velvet revolver - "slither"

[FacingUsAll]

"23" by Jimmy Eat World

and

"Last Train Home" by Lostprophets

[pavan]

Bad Horsie -- Steve Vai

[#_of_the_beast]

My fav drop d song to play No More Tears by Ozzy and of coarse Mr. Wylde

[Kartman]

Come as you are isnt in drop d; its in standard a whole step lower. But heres some good drop d songs;
1. Nirvana - Stain
2. Anything by SOAD
3. Audioslave - Show Me how to live
4. Redefine - Incubus

[sabbathblack12]

no more tears ( which is hapf step down and then droped to watever it is then)
audioslave- show me how to live
Velvet revolver- slither
Black Label Society- suicide messiah

[kylehnat]

Ticks and Leeches by TOOL is one of my favorite drop D songs to play (if you have the patience to play that whole clean part in the middle :)). System of a Down is also good: Science, War, and Sad Statue are some of my favorites as well.

[onimacaroni]

Everlong by the Foos or Heart shaped box by Nirvana

[shaneO]

merci beucoup all :)

[Met2609]

Devils Dance by Metallica not the solo i can never find a good tab for it

[trey-col89]

Everyone always says Moby Dick... What about Ten Years Gone? Thats a drop d classic that never gets any love, I think its better than Moby Dick.

[SilentDeftone]

Good song though.

[newbz0r]

Is drop D tuning just DADGBE?

[SilentDeftone]

Yes.

Please restrict all tuning questions to the tuning thread. Thank you :)

I've never tried that song, but try powertabs.net

;)

[bazza_2004]

Killing in the name of, and Wake Up by R.A.T.M

No Brains - Sum41

[FozzyMcQueen]

Practically anything by RATM.

Killing in the Name, Sleep Now in the Fire, Testify, Renegade's of Funk...don't think they've been said.

[sundogg16]

present tense by pearl jam!!!!!!!!!!

[jolson27]

Invalid litter dept. by At the drive-in

[sundogg16]

is half by soundgarden in drop d

[muzz666]

"Everlong" by the Foo Fighters, loads of Rage songs and "Heart-Shaped Box" by Nirvana :cheers:

[ibanez4life SZ!]

Alter Brdige and System of a Down are great bands to look into, especially system's new cd, but they aren't in Drop D. They're in Drop D half step down (drop D flat). In Drop D, look into Story of the Year, Lost Prophets, Papa Roach, and Hoobastank.

Drop D Flat: Alter Bridge, System of a Down, Submersed

[Emery17]

EVERLONG

[LankyNewb]

Blur - Song 2

Mad fun to play along to and it is ridiculously easy. Lot of stuff by disturbed is very simple in drop D but pretty wicked.

Or if you want to acoustify, I believe How you remind me by Nickelback is dropped D but I could be wrong as usual.

[startingline]

EVERLONG

acoustic or electric is awesome and fun to play

[switch_hitter]

Any Tool song in drop d is amazing to play also all the drop d Rage against the machine songs.

Tool-Aenima or Schism
Rage-Freedom or Killing in the Name

I LOVE DROP D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[switch_hitter]

Why do people not know the tunings of songs? System of a Down is always Drop d down 1 and 1/2 steps never have they ever been in just Drop D. And I'm pretty sure that all metallica songs are in standard tuning.

[SilentDeftone]

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/images/edit.gif Use it. Next time I'll warn you for double-posting.

-SD :dance:

[FozzyMcQueen]

And I'm pretty sure that all metallica songs are in standard tuning.

Not on newer stuff.

[switch_hitter]

On their newer stuff probably but The Thing that Should not Be is not a newer song, definately not in drop d.

[lopez17]

actually, byob is different

[TheBodomBullet]

x2 on A7x.

My personal favorite band. Yup almost all of their songs are in drop d.

I would suggest:

Unholy Confessions
Second Heartbeat
Chapter Four
Bat Country


For the most part their pretty easy to play (Unholy Confessions being the easiest) and sound really awesome. Avenged Sevenfold is a great band. No questions asked.

And also another x2 on some Pantera stuff.

[raulbitran]

ALso try human from metallica

[engine11]

Country Boy Can Survive-Hank Jr.

Even if you're not into country you'll realize how bad arse this sounds on geetaarr

[Shortcut]

Queen - Fat Bottom Girls

For cereal.


P.S. Song 2 is a half step down, not drop D.
