Drop Tuning

A basic technique of rock is the power chord. The setup can be achieved by tuning the bottom (e) string down one step leaving you with D and a perfect fifth topped with an octave. This is drop D. To achieve a lower and thus heavier sound, you may tune the bottom three strings down an additional step. To take it a step further you can tune the bottom three strings down additional steps.

Ridiculous incompetence!

The band I recruited has, as a still small voice inside me has been saying this whole time, completely ditched out on every single practice to date. Needless to say I've had more than enough of them.
