Been playing a few months are so now, getting irritated though because I cant figure out how to "Drop C" tune my guitar. Someone mind explaining how to do this, turtorials on the internet are no help.

**** that noise... all you need to know is a few power chords to rock.

P.S. I\'m a drummer.

Luckily it wasn\'t your g-string snapping. I hate when that happens.

strings are cheap

Do you have a tuner?

Drop C tuning goes like this

E: D
B: A
G: F
D: C
A: G
E: C

Hold down the 3rd fret of your A string and use it tune your E string.

After that continue tuning as usual. That\'s how I was told, but I read about many different variations of a drop C tuned guitar.

I do have a tuner but how the heck are you supposed to tune to F and C with a tunner? Do you need one with more range than the one I have?

Since you haven\'t been playing for that long I wouldn\'t recommend downtuning your guitar. Get to know standard tuning, chords and scales. Once you\'ve gotten to know that then start fiddling around with other tunings.
