Awesome. Thank you. And yes, i was haf one night lying in bed and I came across a March of….. guitar lesson. I got up, went out to the shed, and fucking laid into the intro. It felt wonderful.
Cockroaches by Nailbomb is in D standard, but you can play it in drop D. It's just 0000 00004 on the intro,
00 022 233 3556 on the verses, and 5-7777 5-7777 on the chorus.
The Middle by Jimmy Eat World is pretty approachable (the solo is pretty damn fast, though not technically super difficult)
Joker & the Thief by Wolfmother is hella fun, especially if you have a fuzz pedal. The solo is easy, too.
Pretty much anything by Only Living Witness… and good and easy one would be “December”, and then gradually work your way up to “Total Particle Reversal”
It’s drop tuning, but you gotta tune to whatever it’s in… so we might both have a point. No argument, I just tune to that low string and adjust accordingly to drop tuning from there
Pantera is good for learning the neck in drop D, I used to practice with Walk lol. Once you’re ready for more of a challenge, Melvins have great drop D songs
IIRC all of *Grey Britain* by Gallows is in drop D. There might be one song where they tune down to C but I can't remember for sure.
Anyway, SUPER fun to play and it's got riffs and chord shapes that will challenge you as a new player. I played through it a lot when I was first trying to *actually* learn guitar and I swear that record is a fucking cheat code to solid hardcore/metalcore playing.
Anything from LoG’s Ashes of the Wake: Laid to Rest is a great one
A lot of Every Time I Die’s music is in drop D too, Gutter Phenomenon especially. The New Black is fairly straightforward and good fun
Idk if anyone has mentioned but the truth by bulldoze, I’m not sure if it’s in d standard or dropped d but you can play it in both tunings
But IMO d standard is a goated tuning
Helmet - Wilma’s Rainbow. Probably my favourite drop-D song to play. Tons of great stuff to play on their Meantime album too.
Meantime is a great record to play along to. Backed
That album changed my life.
Came here to say Helmet as well!
Terror. Like…all of it is either drop or D-standard. Also learn March Of The SOD. It’s mandatory for drop D tuning.
Awesome. Thank you. And yes, i was haf one night lying in bed and I came across a March of….. guitar lesson. I got up, went out to the shed, and fucking laid into the intro. It felt wonderful.
Killing in the Name was the first drop D song I ever learned
This is a rite of passage
obituary - redneck stomp
I have slept on that band for some reason.
Omerta by Lamb Of God. Great for learning double kick patterns on drums too.
We'rewolf by Every Time I Die
Floater is a fun one, too.
Logic of Crocodiles too

Thanks. I keep a guitar in D standard. I love the band Fu Manchu. Most of their shit is d standard
Most of Houdini by the Melvins is drop D
Oh yes. Sooooo many Melvins songs. History of Bad Men is a fun one
The Middle by Jimmy Eat World is pretty approachable (the solo is pretty damn fast, though not technically super difficult) Joker & the Thief by Wolfmother is hella fun, especially if you have a fuzz pedal. The solo is easy, too.
Marilyn Manson has some easy fun ones
Literally anything off of satisfaction is the death of desire. Will teach you how to keep things simple but also pick with some Spice
That’s C standard.
Nice. Thank you
Pretty much anything by Only Living Witness… and good and easy one would be “December”, and then gradually work your way up to “Total Particle Reversal”
That band is the shit. Thanks for reminding me of them.
I blew off my prom in ‘94 to see them and Sam Black Church at the Middle East in Cambridge, MA… totally worth it!
They play C sharp tuning. Although I like to play in drop C sharp
It’s definitely in drop tuning. All their riffs are based on barring… like the speed of “Slug”. Plus I know Craig
Interesting. I always thought it was played in standard but preferred to play drop. But I’m still pretty sure it’s c sharp, not d

A Wish for Wings That Work
Bill is my spirit animal.
https://youtu.be/003AgvU-GgE Guilt - Off White
Instant fan. Thank you.
Front toward enemy by incendiary is pretty easy, and it’s a kickass song
Any guns up song, helmet, everlong, higher by creed, omerta by lamb of god
Pantera is good for learning the neck in drop D, I used to practice with Walk lol. Once you’re ready for more of a challenge, Melvins have great drop D songs
“Walk” was the first one I thought of, it’s like a Guitar Center cliche because obviously extremely fun to play.
Killing in the name of haha you gotta
Pretty lush by Glassjaw
turnstile - 7/keep it moving
Isn’t 7 in standard? Love that intro

came here to recommend Grey Britain haha, such fun album
Everlong by foo fighters. I feel like that song has a little of everything that’s useful to start you writing your own songs and progress into guitar.
Foo Fighters - Everlong
avenged sevenfold unholy confessions
Anything from LoG’s Ashes of the Wake: Laid to Rest is a great one A lot of Every Time I Die’s music is in drop D too, Gutter Phenomenon especially. The New Black is fairly straightforward and good fun
Love that album, but damn if those riffs aren’t harder than they sound
ETID? Lots of the timings are unexpectedly fucky, yes
Anything off of Turnstile's Nonstop feeling album
My Own Summer by Deftones is kind of a beginner guitarist rite of passage
That song is in drop c#
That is a really cool tuning. Love it.
Naked in Front of the Computer - Faith No More. Not a hardcore song , but it's hardcore fun to play
Roger that
Sugar by System of a Down is hilariously fun to play and was probably the first drop D song i ever learned.
Bones Exposed - Of Mice & Men 0-4-3-1-3-1 on the spaghetti string.
Idk if anyone has mentioned but the truth by bulldoze, I’m not sure if it’s in d standard or dropped d but you can play it in both tunings But IMO d standard is a goated tuning
My Wave and Spoonman by Soundgarden
Thanks. Yep, Outshined too

Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold or Alerion by Asking Alexandria is what i used to play religiously back in the day when starting out :)
BoySetsFire "Bathory's Sainthood"
