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.
I'm Joost Nusselder, the founder of Neaera and a content marketer, dad, and love trying out new equipment with guitar at the heart of my passion, and together with my team, I've been creating in-depth blog articles since 2020 to help loyal readers with recording and guitar tips.
