Drop C Tuning Basic Chords

Drop C tuning is a wonderful variation on Taro Patch tuning that lowers the 6th string from D down to C.  This makes playing in the key of C possible with a full low C in the bass.  This lesson introduces basic positions for C, F, and G7 chords in this tuning.  Listen to recordings by Leonard Kwan and Sonny Chillingworth.  They would both use this tuning often when playing in the key of C.  The tuning is also know as Leonard’s C.
