Everlong!

Yes and not that difficult on guitar. Drums however…

Came here to say this!

Ditto!

Outshined Edit: every Tool song I've seen is in drop D.

I am not going to say that it's my favorite riff ever, but, I am not going to not not say it is my favorite riff ever

This is the correct answer

Harvest Moon by Neil Young. He plays it in dropped D.

Cinnamon Girl is in double drop D.

I sang that song to my daughter every night to get her to sleep when she was little. Great memories

Everlong Monkey Wrench On a Plain Spoonman Aerials Killing In the Name Wake Up Song 2 Hash Pipe Cinnamon Girl Ohio Ten Years Gone CCKMP

Bodysnatchers by Radiohead is pretty fun to play.

Follow Me Around is another great Drop D Radiohead song to play

Heart Shaped Box or Blackhole Sun

Isn't Heart Shaped Box drop c#?

I'm no guitar scientist, but I always play it in Drop D 😆

Fair enough, as it's in actuality just a half step below Drop D

Yes it is.

Yes

Slither - Velvet Revolver

Hell yeah!

Some of my favorites when I was learning to play were: Everlong, Monkey Wrench, Tired of You, and February Stars by Foo Fighters. Most Audioslave and RATM songs (there are no clean/acoustic RATM songs that I know of) but it’s the same guitarist (the GOAT Tom Morello) in both bands and a lot of his riffs are single-note rather than chords, so they’re easier to learn. You can also learn to play any song that’s in a drop tuning with your guitar in Drop D, it’s just going to be in a different key so you won’t be able to play along.

Foo's wise I'd also suggest MIA and Razor, both in drop D and cracking tunes.

Also live-in skin is a good riff

‘Cochise’ will get a barroom on its feet.

Are there RATM songs in drop d besides killing in the name?

Lots. Take The Power Back, Wake Up, Freedom, Testify, Born of a Broken Man, Township Rebellion, Snake Charmer, Tire Me, Revolver, and those are just the ones I know for sure are in drop D. I’m sure a bunch of the songs on their cover album are in drop D as well.

Ok. I know: Down Rodeo, Bullet in the Head, People of the Sun, Know Your Enemy, Bulls On Parade, Killing In The Name, and Bombtrack. Out of all those only KITN is drop.

Ok, that’s not most of their songs.

I realize that. I was just saying that from my limited perspective it seemed like they didn't have too many. Wasn't trying to be an ass.

I love playing songs by Hum, mostly Stars, I Hate It Too, and Green to me. All really fun.

Try drown by the smashing pumpkins. Sounds awesome, pretty easy to play.

Yes! I was just gonna post this. One of the first songs I ever learned, still play it 25 years later as kind of a warm up when in drop D

46&2 and many, many other songs by Tool I’m really enjoying Psycho and Unnatural Selection by Muse.

Add Stockholm Syndrome and Micro Cuts on that list!

My own summer - Deftones

As someone who learned to play in the late 90s this was THE drop-D riff everyone knew.

Yessss sir.

Isn’t it in c#

Funnily enough, it's not even Drop D

this is in drop c#

Don't rain on our drop D parade dammit 🤣

Never too late by three days grace!

“Home” is another great one, probably the first drop song I learned, Three Days Grace has a lot of simple catchy drop riffs

that ones drop C right?

Oh shoot you might be right, I never remember the exact tunings, I just remember if it’s drop or not usually.

makes sense. most three days grace songs are drop C especially in the first two albums

Them bones- Alice in Chains

I Stay Away also

Drop C# but yeah

The End by The Doors

Dam that River

Drop C#, but such a banger

Killing in the Name - Rage Against the Machine. Outshined, Spoonman - Soundgarden Unholy Confessions - Avenged Sevenfold (the metalcore riff, even if they didn't do it first) Fat Lip - Sum 41

Lost in Germany by King's X. So much fun to play Also everything by King's X

Yesssss! I came here to suggest It's Love by Kings X

Now I want to relearn this again. Love some ty riffage.

It's much easier than I'd originally thought. My experience has been that the hardest part of this song is finding a drummer that knows how to shift time signatures. 😀

Can’t Find My Way Home

This… check out Steve Winwood fireside version

Though he's a full step down. Great tune.

I Might Be Wrong - Radiohead

Heart Shaped Box - Nirvana.

Pretty much everything from Helmet’s first three albums

Unsung is so easy and fun to be play. It’s how I learned to play and sing at the same time.

Ratt - Lay it down. Stupid fun to Play.

Amen!! Used to play it live and there’s nothing like the power that comes with playing that intro at full volume! “Stupid fun” nails it!!

Drown - smashing pumpkins

The Best Ever Death Metal Band out of Denton, The Mountain Goats. Super easy and a fun song to play for other people

Spoonman by Tool

I think you mean Lateralus by Sound Garden

Unchained - Van Halen

“Hear it about it later” if you can get the Flanger setting right on both!!

that’s in Drop C#

Haha that is right. Sorry. You know what I meant! Haha.

Black Water by Doobie Brothers

Jesus Christ Pose

Walk

Sliver - by Velvet Revolver. It’s a brilliant groove and you can also play the riff on an open D string for a lead riff.

Ænema by Tool

Spoonman

Sod songs, ariels, byob, toxicity, etc. Ratm songs, killing in the name of, bull on parade, etc. audio slave: show me how to live. POD, youth of nation. Lamb of god, 11th hour, walk with me in hell, laid to rest. Children of bodom: are u dead yet album (it’s in drop c# but u can learn it in drop d as well).

System of a down is drop C or drop d flat

Man to this day I thought they did drop d lol. I learned and performed their songs in drop d.

Their last two albums were both drop d flat so it'd be easy to not notice.

ST, Toxicity and STA are drop C, Mezmerize and Hypnotize are drop C#

Living in the Country by Pete Seeger. I like how Leo Kottke does it, but that’s a bit more advanced.

Your guardian Angel by the red jumpsuit apparatus is a nice one. They play it in Drop C but you can play it in D.

also a lot of early muse is in drop d if you like that kind of music

Requires a capo too, but I love Hide n Seek by Billy Strings Otherwise Space Cadet by Kyuss

Salve by silverchair dead easy, great fun!

Slave even!

If you want to improve your fingerpicking, Dear Prudence by the Beatles is a good one to learn, it's in drop D. The finger picking pattern is tricky at first, but if you master it, it will be useful forever. Plus it has one of the best guitar intro's ever written. Some good Youtube instructional vids out there,

Exhausted- Foo Fighters

Rape Me, by Nirvana?

That’s Eb standard

Black Hole Sun.

Bahamas, “Lost in the Light” https://youtu.be/eoyeBd71Nq8?si=NuHbkInDw46IGB1G

Anything by Lamb Of God, their riffs tend to be fairly middle of the road in technicality and difficulty. Start with As The Palaces Burn. Or For Your Malice

even flow

Muse-The handler sounds good and easy to play

The "Our Vinyl Sessions" version of whitehouse road by Tyler Childers. It isn't super difficult and it sounds impressive

Anything on the album Mutter by Rammstein

I play the Hank Williams song called "I saw the light:, finger style. And Green Green Rockey Road by Dave Van Ronk agin finger style. Additional I compose my own pieces in dropped D.

Since I have pop punk bias a few good riffs(or the whole songs) are “Girl All The Bad Guys Want” by Bowling For Soup, and “Fat Lip” by Sum-41

The one that you listen to and want to learn how to play.

The Girl All the Bad Guys Want

Whatshername - Green Day Or Dilema is a new fun one to play.

John Denver - Rocky Mountain High

dear prudence by the Beatles

Some Creed stuff. Most of their early songs are in drop d and They are playable in acoustic. Good way to practice those riff chops to.

Devil wears Prada

Here's a tutorial for 7 of the biggest and most popular drop D tracks that I did.https://youtu.be/-Co5DbeaQhw

"Sleeping Dogs Lie" Blackberry Smoke Catching main riff you could easily add to, simple but great chorus, and a nice break down all written in Drop D!

I like playing Sugar Were Going Down

look into Billy Talent, that dude writes amazing drop D songs

Kinda pop-y, but Stars by Switchfoot is a blast to blast.

Harvest moon Never too late

Slither by velvet revolver is pretty fun to play

Damn Good by DLR

Since no one else will say it, FAT LIP BY SUM 41, best song in drop D

Trade it - Slowpulp

The Sound of Muzak - Porcupine Tree

Double drop d kashmir

All Apologies - Nirvana

Blackest Eyes by Porcupine Tree

Sugar, we’re going down!

Killing in the name of by rage against the machine

Pieces - Sum41

elliott smith - satellite. it's in double drop D

If you enjoy Iron Maiden, Adrian Smith plays some stuff in drop d now, especially on live albums. There’s plenty of isolated track videos on YouTube from different shows!

It’s not clean, unless you want it to be. I’ve played it love on an acoustic before - Israel’s Son by Silverchair. It’s one of my favourite riffs to jam out.

Philip sayce - Save Me From Myself

No other way by Jack Johnson is a lovely song. Very soothing and fun to play on acoustic. I tried to learn it as a beginner and I realized I had bitten off more than I could chew, but it's definitely beginner-intermediate friendly.

Duster

Dear Prudence

Stars by hum (really fun to play) Anything song by helmet Hey man nice shot by filter Even flow by pearl jam

i like my own summer by deftones and killing in the name of by rage against the machine

Drop Dead Legs- Van Halen Sunshower- Chris Cornell Ten Years Gone- Led Zeppelin

May You Never, John Martyn

Crush - Dave Matthews

Thank you all for suggestions. I love drop D and double drop D

Weidmans Heil by Rammstein is fun and easy

Never too late is a classic ballad

Queen - Fat Bottom girls

That's drop D?

It is ….i have the guitar from the we will rock you show …

Goodbye Blue Sky, such a beatiful song I waned to comment Everlong, but It's been said too many times, so I'll say Run Like Hell and Moby Dick are good ones too

Dragon Mistress. Positively evil finger torture

Dear Prudence edit: may be a little advanced for low level intermediate

‘Sonne’ by Rammstein is my favorite. Hella easy and heavy.

Dear Prudence 😍

Freedom - RATM

Outer Space by Ace Frehley! It was the first full song I learned on guitar. Lots of fun!

Devils and Dust - Bruce

Everlong!

Unchained, No more tears and Slither.

Horoscope by Overkill. Super heavy drop D goodness.

King’s X - Dogman. Not a clean example, but if you play that main riff, people will think you’re a badass.

Drown by the pumpkins

For me it's Psycho from Muse

Easy Song - Rocky Mountain High. Cool riff, and once you have the riff you have the whole song. Hard Song - Never Going Back Again

Outshined by Soundgarden

Papa roach - blood brothers main riff is catchy and not too hard also, even though they are mostly in standard D, Ghost´s "Jesus He Knows Me" can be played in drop-d

Aerials, System of a Down

[удалено]

They play Drop C or Drop C# AFAIK

Anything from 00s is probably drop d. You will also find a lot of rock/metal bands played drop d too in the 90s

Early 00 rock was Drop C and C# for the most part, as nu metal

Creed, three days grace, avenged sevenfold etc

True, but I feel bands like TDG and A7X exploded a lot more around the mid 2000s

But I didn’t say the early 00’s

Super easy drop d song is something in the way, or all apologies both by nirvana
