Songs that are in Drop D (That actually use it)

Unread post by dmbguitar718 » Wed Dec 17, 2003 3:31 pm

You know what I'm talking about. ie Bartender uses it, Crush does not.

Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions for some good songs in Drop D? I just love the way it sounds. :) Any artist, I don't care.

Crush uses it to an extent. It's harder to play Crush without it...

ok well you can play any song that's in D and use drop D tuning...

the chords are a little different but it works.
