Drop C tuning is an alternative guitar tuning where at least one string has been lowered to a C. Most commonly this is CGCFAD, which can be described as D tuning with a dropped C, or drop D tuning transposed down a whole step. Because of its heavier tone, it is most commonly used in rock and heavy metal music.
