Drop D is one of the most commonly used alternate tunings for guitar.

To tune your guitar to drop D you simply lower the 6th string (Low E) to a D.

The figure to the left is standard tuning for a guitar. The lowest string (6th) is on the far left and the highest is on the right (1st).

Once you have lowered the 6th string from E to D your guitar is tuned to drop D - shown to the right.

This tuning creates a rich D chord  - play a normal D chord, but strum all six strings.

Drop D is great for power chords - barre the lowest two or three strings and you have a whole neck full of chords.
