    My goodness.. this riff REALLY brings out the qualities of an acoustic guitar. The richness, the versatility in sound and the options to play without modulating any sound through electronics. It’s amazing and I love it, it’s perfectly played.

  • @TomInBoston
    @TomInBoston  3 місяці тому +593

    I learned today that drop C# is also not just like, tuning the E string down to C#. So technically this isn't drop C#. I'm so sorry I lied to you all. I'm just a fool.

    • @josuii118
      @josuii118 3 місяці тому +43

      Honestly, I'd say it still counts as a form of Drop C#, though you could clarify the exact tuning of each string in the description. Either way, no need to be hard on yourself!

    • @4tk1n5
      @4tk1n5 3 місяці тому +40

      So it’s e standard but E dropped to C#?

    • @josuii118
      @josuii118 3 місяці тому +5

      @4tk1n5 This version of Drop C#, I believe so. The "Drop" in "Drop C#" indicates that you tune the low E string/6th string down.

    • @richards777
      @richards777 3 місяці тому +9

      Wooah, it has a very nice timbre and tonality to it, never thought to lower just E, big brain!!

    • @mr.e8432
      @mr.e8432 3 місяці тому +32

      If you lowered the entire guitar down three half steps, that would be C# standard. I guess technically drop C# would be playing a guitar tuned down a half step to E flat, and then tuning the low E down another step. Playing in standard tuning with the E string tune down to C#??? I’m sure someone’s got a name for it.

      I’d always mistakenly assumed it operated the same way as dropped D (which it does) but I never looked at dropped D as an open tuning. I was always just like “yeah it’s just one string”. Not a whole tuning.
      A friend corrected me right after I published the video. I sure didn’t expect my ignorance to be on display to thousands!
