Drop D tuning changes the fret positions used by each scale. Select a key and scale below to open its map, note list, position tabs and matching chords. The scale finder reads strings high to low as E B G D A D. Drop D lowers the sixth string from E to D. The other five strings stay in Standard tuning, so only the low-string notes move.
