I can't seem to play blues in drop d, as soon as the E string goes down my hands only want to chug!

[@JoeTayMetal]

I need my Schecter C-1 in Drop C Tuning to have a clear distortion as such. Hard to do with a Fender Mustang 3 Combo

[@stevegaudreau67]

A lefty like me! Sweet!

[@lacrimau4u]

Van Halen Unichained are a classic drop-D flat tune & towards later Stratovarious Unbreakable, for drop-D are even classic heavy sounded Ratt songs as You're in love & Lay it down from the 80 ies etc... 🔉🎶🤘
