Ok, when tuning to drop d. Im just changing the tone of the E string right?

 

[Sparkey Duck]

Yup, just dropping one step on the E. That be it...

When you say dropping it one step, how much is one step? This shit confuses me...

 

[Sparkey Duck]

2 frets... a step being compiled, in this case, of two half-steps Db then D.

 

[Sparkey Duck]

Eb sorry.. durr...

 

[Boomer]

Will a digital tuner show the steps?

YouTube - Learn to Play Bass Guitar: Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced Techniques : Drop D Tuning a Bass Guitar: Free Online Music Lessons

This kind of shows what I'd try and say Or on a digital tuner just detune until it says.. D
