Drop-D tuning down a whole-step
Comments: A augmentedA monster of a tuning this. I recommend a set-neck guitar or a
through-body. String it with at least 11s otherwise the low E-string (now
C-string) will go out of tune in a second. Rhy. Figs 1a and 1b seem to be
backwards as are Riffs 2, 3a and 3b. They have been notated here as they
sound.
Key:
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
b = bend (whole step)
b^ = bend (1/2 step)
b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps)
pb = pre-bend
r = release-bend
t = tap with righthand finger
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
~ = Vibrato
* = Natural Harmonic
) = Trill
** = Artificial Harmonic
x = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
(\) = Dive w\bar
(/) = Release w\bar
Tp = Tap w\plectrum
