Dropping your low E string down a whole step to D adds a richness and depth that’s great for fingerpicking solo guitar. The extra weight to the low end provides the perfect foundation for melody lines and chord accompaniment.
In this short video tutorial, Elixir Strings artist Kenny Serane teaches you a beautiful Drop D piece that serves as a great introduction to the tuning. Incorporating a bluesy Mixolydian feel, the ideas in Kenny’s composition will give you plenty of concepts to explore in your own playing.
Explaining why he’s such a fan of Elixir Strings on both his electric and acoustic guitars, Kenny says, “Changing strings takes time away from making music. When a brand can make you play longer, it’s a win-win for your creativity.”
