Words and Music by Staind


Tuning: (Db Ab Db Gb Bb eb) - "Drop D half a step down or 'Drob Db'"*

(I know this song is in Mike Mike Mushok's really low baritone guitar
tuning of Ab Db Ab Db Gb Bb, but this is for people who don't have
a baritone or really thick strings. Plus, you don't really need that
low Ab to play this great song.)

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -

*For those who do not know how to tune to drop Db,
tune the low e down to d, then fret it and 1st fret
and tune it down until it sounds like a D, then
for the A string also fret it at 1st fret and tune
it down until it sounds like an A, and so on until
all strings are tuned.


🏷Legend:
