how do you change to drop down c and drop down d, and what is c#?

Question

when it says about tuning "drop d" or "drop c"

what fret is c# on and is it with the e or Am shape?

this is for the guitar

Answer 1

Agrees with above - this is not a musical term.

C# is the black note above c - C sharp!

Answer 2

I think you mean 'dropped C' and 'dropped D' (guitar tuning?).

There are several tunings. I use a 'dropped D' quite often which simply involves tuning the bass E string down a tone to D. You can also tune all the strings to an open D chord ... D-A-D-F#-A-D (1st and 6th dropped a tone to D; 2nd dropped a tone from B to A and 3rd dropped a semitone from G to F#)

There is an open C tuning too but I'm not familiar with it. A 'dropped C' tuning would be dropping the bass E two tones to C. The string tends to become very slack, but it gives a nice rich bass C if you don't pick too hard.

Answer 3

It means that you just left a more step to tune or drop to an especific tune

C:
CGCFAD(begining from the fat string). It`s almost the same that the D tuning. But you just drop 3 steps the sixth chord.

D:
It's basically the same; DGCFAD To made it without a tuner you should drop the sixth string 2 steps and then you must play the 7th fret from the sixth string and find a sound in the string number five, so when you play the string number 5 (without play in a fret) it sounds just like the sixth chord in the fret number 7.

Obviously the other people in here doesn't know of what are we talking about, but still they answer stupid things.

Answer 4

Are you talking about these notes on the piano?

C# is a note that is a semitone higher than C but lower than D (the black key inbetween the two on a piano - to achieve the note on a recorder cover the first two holes as if you're playing A but don't hold your finger over the hole on the back of the instrument)

Don't understand what you mean by drop down, sorry!

Answer 5

To play in D, you re-tune to D, G, C, F, A, D low to high. For C it's C, F, Bb, Eb, G, C. For C tuning you need heavy gauge strings b/c they get really loose.
C# is between C and D - same thing as a Db.

Answer 6

C# is C sharp - 1/2 tone above C, or 1/2 tone Below D

What do youo mean drop down. This is not a musical term.

Answer 7

By drop down C, do you mean C flat? C flat is the same as B and D flat is the same as C#.
If you look on a keyboard, flats are the same as moving down half a step from the original key, which means the key IMMEDIATELY to the LEFT of the original key, whether it is a white or a black key.

Examples:
C flat is moving from C to B
E flat is moving from E to D#

And sharps are the same as moving up half a step from the original key, which means the key IMMEDIATELY to the RIGHT of the original key, black or white.

Example:
C# is moving from C to D flat
E# is moving from E to F

Hope that helped. If you still have questions, please feel free to ask. :)
