“Double Drop D Tuning” - Drop strings 1 and 6 from E to D - (From 6 to 1 - DADGBD) D5 000230 G X20030 A7sus4 X02030 [D5] I am a man of constant [G] sorrow I've seen [A7sus4] trouble all my [D5] day. [D5] I bid farewell to old Ken- [G] tucky The place where [A7sus4] I was born and [D5] raised. The place where [A7sus4] he was born and [D5] raised D5 G [D5] For six long years I've been in [G] trouble No pleasures [A7sus4] here on earth I [D5] found [D5] For in this world I'm bound to [G] ramble I have no [A7sus4] friends to help me [D5] now. He has no [A7sus4] friends to help him [D5} now It's fare thee well my old lover I never expect to see you again For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad Perhaps I'll die upon this train. Perhaps he'll die upon this train. You can bury me in some deep valley For many years where I may lay Then you may learn to love another While I am sleeping in my grave. While he is sleeping in his grave. Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger My face you'll never see no more. But there is one promise that is given I'll meet you on God's golden shore. He'll meet you on God's golden shore

This does sound really nice but I always thought you should credit the musician for the tone and not the instrument 🤷♂️ I mean, if you gave that guitar to a rank beginner it would no doubt sound atrocious until they developed this high of a skill level 🍻
@janseendiguiseppiThomasMC

@@JAKENMK The tone can be heard by simply strumming the guitar openly. That would be the guitars tone, not the musician. I know what you are saying as tone can be effected as for how the musician uses his or her touch on the instrument, A softer touch will bring out a softer tone etc. These are two different things when one talks about the tone of the instrument vs the tone a musician can bring out of an instrument.

It seems we spend way too much time trying to play fancy things when in reality a guitar can make simple things sound fancy. Thanks for the tuning. I have played drop D for years and even have one guitar tuned to an open D tuning. First time I ever heard of tuning the little E string down to D too, thanks, sound great!

I picked up guitar a few years ago when I read an article that said you can prolong the onset of alzheimer's disease by learning to play a musical instrument. I have never had any formal guitar lesson, just what I've picked up on the internet so I still consider myself a very beginner and the way you are teaching this song makes it fairly easy. I love the sound in drop d and double even makes it more of a super sound to me. Thanks for contributing to Vets.

@@BrettPenza I can’t offer any expertise on the monetization aspect, Brett. I don’t monetize. My channel arose organically as a medium through which to deliver guitar lessons to my military veteran students during COVID. Man of Constant Sorrow was just a goofy little lesson I put together for 6 veterans. But it eventually blew up on KZitem and I started getting subscribers. Go figure!

How do you guys get that pic to just lightly hit the strings. Seems like the only way I can do that is if I hold the pick lightly then I lose it. What's the secret? Thanks for any help.

What's funny is,this tuning is how i learned how to play...it was an accident of course...i initially tried playing in drop D,and while tuning the strings i worked my way up to the high E,and not being experienced or having a tuner,i had to tune by a little instinct and some guessing,lol....well everything in drop D sounded good to me,so i kept it that way for YEARS....one day i learned that the whole time my high E was in D....wow...mind blown.....well now i'm learning standard E from the ground up...which is new to me......but i created some great stuff over the years with three D strings.....mainly hard rock...here's some of it kzitem.info/news/bejne/wIus3IaNr2R6iqQ
