I have never tried to play in drop D. It does make the D chord sound very good, but that is about as far as I got.

I assume part of the reason is being unfamiliar with huge hits like Radioactive by Imagine Dragons, which I guess I did not like that much.

I like What I've Done by Linkin Park but I never tried to play it.

So...drop D may be very popular with metal and other styles but there are just not enough hours in my life left to learn everything...lol

Altered tunings are something I will incorporate as time goes by. They are just more colors to paint with and make certain finger positions much less trouble to play.

Cool stuff.
