Drop B
"Drop B" is a guitar tuning where the lowest string is tuned down to a B note, creating a deep and heavy sound. This tuning is popular in various music genres, especially in heavy metal and hard rock, as it allows for powerful riffs and a darker tone.
In Drop B tuning, the strings are typically arranged as follows: B, F#, B, E, G#, and C#. This setup enables guitarists to play power chords easily and adds a unique resonance to their music. Many bands, including Lamb of God and Slipknot, frequently use Drop B to enhance their sound.
