      God is good. Repent and believe the gospel. Jesus Christ died for your sins and rose from the dead. You can be forgiven. You must be born again. There was a woman who had an alabaster box of very precious ointment and she poured it on the head of Jesus. We need to honour the King. The Lord God. ”that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.“
      John 3:15 KJV. The Lord Jesus Christ. Repent means change, change from sin. Turn away from sin. Love and fear God. Call on the name of Jesus Christ. Draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you. He saved me. There is the lake of fire which is burning for eternity and there is heaven. I have eternal life in heaven because of what the Lord has done. Be ready for the day of judgement

    So many great bands use this tuning. Goes to show that different tunings other than a standard gives much more newer and even convenient ways to write!

      Because he showed how to tune a string for 10 minutes without even explaining what the point of doing it. Man if you don't know how to turn a guitar tuner you should probably be playing in standard tuning. Shit content this.

      Hey man, I saw that you use drop D a lot for your playing, so maybe you could answer this question for me? I've played guitar by ear for a long time, and now I am learning theory a bit. I know how to build chords and some scales and stuff, but I still have some questions regarding drop D tuning. When you tune down into drop D, do you typically use a specific scale and key to find all of your chords and notes like in standard? Like, since I am in drop D, should I naturally use a scale in the key of D whether it be major, minor, or whatever else? Any help would be appreciated, thanks a lot !

    Thank you so much Marty! 🙏
    You not only showed how to tune the guitar to drop D , both in theory and in practice, but more importantly you showed some awesome examples of how to use it to make some good music in new ways.
    I just find it much more akin to my own learning way to learn by example and to see *why* I have to learn theory.
    Thank you!! 💗

    When I saw your video for how to play shine by Collective Soul, it was my favorite one because when I was around seven years old, I would try to play it, but I wouldn’t know how in standard tuning😂 so I appreciate the video. I am subscribed to you with notifications on.👍

    I have a lot of guitars but I always keep two in my home office for easy pickup/practice. I keep two because one is always in drop D. For any new players reluctant to experiment with alternate tunings, Drop D is (in my opinion) the best one to start with. Tons of great songs in drop D and a very, very easy alternate tuning to play from a fretting perspective.

  • @easymancool4788
    @easymancool4788 Рік тому +1

    So would the drop D sound the same to a 7 string guitar? I've never played one and was just curious

    I remember when I first started playing, I brought my first tab book, which was Metallica's Black album. When it said "tune down half step" I thought that meant turn the tuning pegs down one half turn. I. Never actually checked if I was right. It just made the most logical sense.
