[@HellolBuffalol]

Keith is the Man!!! I wish him Good Luck and a successful 2023!

Thank you👍

Thanks Keith, great lesson. As a relatively new player i've not spent any time on drop D. This has whetted the appetite for a bit of investigation.

[@academyofbass]

Thanks Paul. Take you time and enjoy it. There's lots of fun and great sounds to be had from this tuning.

[@ghosttownreview1531]

I leave my 4 string Fender Precision in D standard tuning so all the strings sound warmer and fuller. It also feels better - the Alder wood vibrates more.

[@academyofbass]

I’ve never tried that, but will definitely give it a go👍

[@Schoolofrockandpop]

Great lesson, thanks. I love the sound of the bass line in Eb!

[@academyofbass]

Thanks, I like it too👍

[@denisblack9897]

Drop D is a great way to make your music feel heavier, without any distortion

[@academyofbass]

Exactly. Distortion is great if you like it, which I do, but it doesn’t suit me. Drop D is a great solution👍

[@bwj3842]

Wow simply superb!!

[@academyofbass]

Nice 👍

[@joannalewis5279]

I just don't know. It sounds good but the fingerings are a hassle

[@academyofbass]

@@joannalewis5279 Find your own fingerings, they’re absolutely not set in stone👍
