Tuning: Drop D tuning sounds best to me.
/ = Slide up
. = Palm mute
Note: I've found while palm muting on the low D string (as seen below),
it sound best if you deaden the string (the "x")while putting your hand
on the 3rd fret and playing it. It sounds good to me in my opinion.
You may want to try something different, but of course thatÂ’s completely
up to you.
