You really should kill the drop d tuning and put it in standard. The final chord is the only thing that it is necessary for, and even then, that's a standard chord easily done as

ha, I didn't notice it was meant for drop D, I just thought the last note sounded weird

oh, when I was arranging it I had some other notes in there that required drop d tuning, but after cleaning up those notes I forgot to put it back. I don't really see a problem with it being in drop D though

It doesn't really matter either way, I think the point is that if you're in standard tuning there's no real reason to swap tunings because theres only one note in the arrangement that is affected and it's easier to finger in standard. You can play it in D I guess, but why?

It's easier without it because you already have your ring finger in place for the last chord, which I guess you do with drop D as well if you don't barre the last chord, but with drop D you have to slightly alter your left hand angle between the two chords and BOOOM sassy musenji strikes again

Awesome tab!
@BigHeadClan 12 years ago
Hoho Nostalgia is coming in waves;Totally going to have to give this a few plays once my guitar is re-stringed!
@musenji 11 years ago
Seriously tho this tab is gross.
I need to work on the upstrums a bit more to find out whether I really like them. There were a couple times in practice that I did them in a really fast way that sounded crisp and good, but I didn't worry about getting that in the recording because DEADLINES. So I should really work on this more.
Aaaaaaand my left hand just went on strike.
