Whisky Lullaby by Brad Paisley and Alisson Krauss

Drop D Tuning

This song is in drop-D tuning. In drop D tuning the low E string is tuned down one whole step to D. This enables the guitarist to play power chords with a single finger. If your favorite band uses drop D tuning and you want to experiment with this tuning, by all means, do so. Whatever you do, don’t learn the guitar in drop D tuning-you’ll get all mixed up.

To tune your guitar to drop D tuning, first make sure you are tuned to standard tuning. Then you’ll want to tune your low E string down two steps to D (we drop it down one step, hence the name).
