I made this video SHOWING AND EXPLAINING to people how to tune to Drop C. I start in standard tuning and drop it from there. I also show how to do the harmonic from Holy Diver by Killswitch Engage. Because I didnt explain too clearly in the video I will write this detailed explanation: 1. make the 9th fret on the low E string equal to an open A string. 2. After step 1, make the A string equal to the 7th fret on the top string(the one you just dropped 2 steps) 3.Now the top string is dropped 2 steps and the A string is dropped one step. 4.Make the D string equal to the 5th fret on the dropped A string. 5. Make the G string equal to the 5th fret on the now dropped D string. 6. Make the B string equal to the 4th fret on the now dropped G string. 7. Make the high E string equal to the 5th fret on the now dropped B string.

  1. Your low e string shouldn’t be breaking when you tune to drop c. you need to loosen the string not tighten it!

  2. you are not the only one my low e string broke to when i was tuning in drop c

  3. On the guitar I borrowed before, I tried tune to Drop C,and the low E string broke. Now I’m scared it’ll happend on my own guitar, even though I know that the other guitar was old with old strings. Now I dare not to try tune my own guitar to Drop C, so how the &{10faa3092bae83cdf963b1ab1025701434ba1e012413cb9c0c72be0a479389c3}¤#& can I get over that?
    It sounds weird, I know, but I’m just like that.

  5. Like if u came here cuz u wanna play 4 words to choke upon

  6. Tape the ends of the string together and put your guitar in the oven for an hour at 450 degrees. Pull it out and quickly submerge it in water to temper the weld on the string. Easy fix bro.

  7. I had just popped my B string. TRYING TO FREAKING TUNE IT NORMALLY! D’:
