*NOTE: The guitar can also be tuned differently, but only for the rhythm guitar. Get your tuning hands ready. First, tune down to D-tuning. Then tune your guitar ONE FULL STEP DOWN!!! The only thing is you would have to play the starting riff a little differently. Any other information would be appreciated.
