during the mini litte breakdown, This is where i discovered he was in drop D. Which was
weird cos he didnt need to turn down to play it. He messes with a "F"
You can play this on standard tuning :
|--------|

|----3---|

If you wanted you could Tune down, and then transpose everything to play in Drop D.Even
uses a 6 string or not, if thats the case thats why he tuned down.
