Take the knob and turn it until when you fret a note on the 7th fret (that sounds like) the A string. To check it, play the intro of My Own Prison (if you know it) Thats how I always check Drop-D tuning. Eventually you'll be able to do it by ear. I hope that helps. [/b][/quote]
i usually tune it to my 4th string...and i used facelessman, or wash away those years to check the D
