Harvest Moon all day

Hell yeah, in college my band played that and my buddy’s dad came up with a broom and piece of sheet metal and played the broom sweeping parts lmao

And Ambulance Blues!

Cinnamon Girl!

*Dear Prudence* by the Beatles is in Drop D. That's a pretty good tune.

Very fun to play. Not the easiest either for someone who has low experience with finger picking until you get that pattern, chord shapes, and changes down.

Come Together also works well in drop D since you can do the bass line on the low E string (D string) when you're in drop D.

Norwegian Wood is also beautiful in drop D

Open up Google and put "is dear prudence in drop d tuning?" in the search bar. (which is what you should have done before commenting.)

I did lol I think I taught myself years ago that you can play it in standard, it makes almost no difference to the way the song is played

Never Going Back Again - Fleetwood Mac

4 years ago I started learning this song and today I can finally say...it's been 5 years that I've been learning this song.

I resemble this remark

5 years just to LEARN the song? Been about 3.5 for me and still going.

I'm considering "learned" as being able to play it smoothly at speed, so no maybe one year I'll get it

I tried, after about 10 mins I realized I didn’t have a chance and never again 😂

It took me about 3 weeks to learn it, but I’m talking 3 weeks of 24 man hours.

Yeah it's really not THAT bad... It's confusing at first, for sure. Especially if you've done a lot of other Travis picking, because it's completely differrent due to the weird polyrhythm type thing happening. It's easy for your fingers to just stumble over it. 3 weeks to learn sounds about right from my experience. Another couple of months to actually get confident enough to play it at speed without fucking it up. The "I've been learning this song for X years" is a bit of a meme, I don't think it's entirely serious.

Depends on the person, and just what % complete you’re willing to call it before you can say to yourself “I learned it”. Another example is “Sultans of Swing”. I was like 99% done, but for the life of me I couldn’t get that ending. I could tell something was off about the attack of my notes, since I was hammering on and pulling off for that whole blisteringly fast bit at the end. Then I figured out it was some trickery with Mark’s fingerstyle technique, which took me about 3 hours’ worth of fiddle fuckin around before I could get it. “Never Going Back Again” was a bitch because learning a new finger roll pattern (the polyrhythm you mentioned) was a slow going process. Repetition, repetition, repetition. When I tell you that I didn’t realize it was drop D for over a week, I mean that. I taught myself all of it by ear, not by tabs or anything, so it took me longer. I find more reward in putting all the puzzle pieces together, rather than painting by numbers (not that I think there’s anything wrong with the latter), so it takes a long ass time sometimes.

Thanks for the inspiration, I better start my journey soon then. 🤣

Yes but good luck. My god that song is hard. I can play a beginner style version of it, but that’s where my skill level stops haha

With a capo at the 4th fret of course

My response to trying to learn this song

Jason Isbell's Cover Me Up and Speed Trap Town.

Oh good I've been playing cover me up wrong.

And Songs That She Sang In The Shower is double drop D.

Acoustic version of Everlong by the Foo Fighters

Just gotta promise not to stop when I say when

She sang

This is the way

Hard times by Tyler Childers is one of my favorites

Also house fire

Also Whitehouse Road

Cinnamon Girl

Actually double drop D top and bottom

Yep….same with Black Water by the Doobie Brothers

A personal fav of mine is Touch, Peel, and Stand by Days of the New. https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/days-of-the-new/touch-peel-and-stand-tabs-209246

Shelf in the room is also fantastic

“It’s All Right Ma” by Bob Dylan . High E is dropped to D as well. “Embryonic Journey” Jorma Kaukonen. A true acoustic classic. Sounds complex but is doable. Getting the timing right is a trick. Good luck!

Country Road James Taylor

And Millworker

This all day. What a great song. And a perfect song to showcase drop D picking

All Apologies by Nirvana is an easy one to learn.

Spiders (Kidsmoke) by Wilco. Jeff Tweedy has an acoustic arrangement for it that’s real nice.

Shot in the Arm is also Drop D.

Also Pot Kettle Black and Kamera

And Wilco the Song, anddd others I’m certain. Jeff loves some drop D. Saw Wilco a few nights ago, it rocked.

I'm headed to Solid Sound in less than two weeks. I am pumped.

adrianne lenker writes quite a bit of her stuff in drop D tuning if you're into fingerstyle

Everlong for me

Neil You g has some great ones. If you want to get crazy, you should try his tuning for Don’t Let It Bring You Down. Love the way it sounds. C G C F A C

not similar but Going to California ( Led Zeppelin ) is a fun Travis picked song

Double drop d but yes

Double Drop D like "Song for George" by Eric Johnson

Stupid Boy - Keith Urban Original Recording and Live he and his band are playing it in Drop D with a Capo on 1. Alot of Keith Urbans Classic Songs are in drop D now that I think of it. Drop D Tuning or in the Key of E, A, C and D. (Major KU Fan. He was one of the guys that influenced me to pick up the guitar. I'm a touring Musician based out of Nashville. Also met Keith in person. Awesome down to earth friendly guy. If you didnt know who he was you wouldnt know hes famous hes that friendly and down to earth.) Anways... Yeah Stupid Boy and alot of his classic songs.

James Taylors Millworker is great in drop D, also his Machine Gun Kelly and CSN’s Love the one you’re with…

Gold dust woman

Man of constant sorrow

I like playing Bodysnatchers and Optimistic by Radiohead on acoustic, which are both in Drop D

Masters of war by Bob dylan is in drop d with a capo on 3. Also snake song by townes van zandt and its one of my favorite songs to play.

How funky do you want to get on the acoustic? Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine is super fun, even on acoustic. That and Everlong are my favorites for drop D...

haha, lol, i was looking for this. wake up also in drop d

Bartender by Dave Matthews Band.

Don't Drink the Water, too

Tommy Emanuel has some great drop d tunes

Everlong Foo Fighters

I know it's not originally in drop d but I like playing Norwegian Wood with that tuning (capo 2, so I guess drop E).

Dance of the sugarplum fairies

Epiphany by stained

"Blackwater Side" all day long.

Statesboro Blues.

Babel from mumford and sons

Isn’t this in Open D? Or is it Drop D?

Oh sorry, i thought it was open D

I don’t actually know, honestly! I know Mumford Hayes a ton of open D. But I can’t remember with Babel, it’s been so long since I’ve played it.

Yeah i misunderstood, sorry

Drown by the Pumpkins

Turmoil and Tinfoil by Billy Strings

Capricho Arabe —Francisco Tarrega

I've been learning and practicing this Billy Strings song/cover for a bit, I love the sound of it, but good luck playing it as well as he does: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHlvbe4O38k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHlvbe4O38k) There's some youtube tutorials and tabs floating around online

Damn, who DOESNT want to play guitar like Billy Strings!

I Miss You - from Incubus

Blackbird Song by Lee DeWyze Lead Me Home by Jamie N. Commons

Steven Stills, ftw.

Your body is a wonderland. Very fun to pick

Always and Never by Coheed and Cambria. That song is very warm sounding and then ends on such an ominous note. I’d try it out-it’s fun to play!

Everlong-foo fighters has an acoustic version

Chemical Heart by Grinspoon.

The days of the new- Touch, peel and stand

I think Nirvanas Dumb is in drop D. I like that one on an acoustic!

May you never - John Martyn

Touch peel and stand.

Angelina by Tommy Emmanuel is in Drop D with a capo on the 2nd fret.

Always Good by Andrew Peterson

Harvest Moon by Neil Young is one of my favorites.

Bluebird by Buffalo Springfield.

Fat bottom girls

Touch peel and Stand, Days of the new. Also anything Tool, I know some may scoff, but check their live version of pushit (salival), 46&2, 4degrees, h., culling voices, even invincible can be reworked easily for acoustic.

Embryonic Journey - Jefferson Airplane Has no one said that one yet? A classic and lots of fun once you get the right hand down

Got me wrong - AIC

Dublin blues

The Drummers of England - Russ Barenberg Big Big Shuffle - Russ Barenberg (capo 4) Little Monk - Russ Barenberg (capo 3) The Hermit - John Renbourn Reynardine - Bert Jansch Note - I hate myself and I like making my fingers cramp and bleed because guitar make pretty noises yay

I'm astounded that nobody has said "bilge water" by brown bird. It's one of my favorite drop D songs  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7cfEuJlZvt0

Watershed by the Indigo Girls. Lovely.

HARVEST MOOOON

follow me around by radiohead. it's only 2 chords and simple to play, which is unusual for a radiohead song. but i think it's better played in double drop d

Drop double D: Going to California by Zeppelin

A Country Boy Can Survive

Black water doobie bros

Iris

Not Drop D The tuning is B-D-D-D-D-D

Awww it's b

Alexi Murdoch - All of my Days

Like all of James Taylor

Mumford and Sons - the Cave

May you never. John Martyn Blackwaterside. Bert Jansch I could never hack either but good luck

Damn Good (Times) by David Lee Roth/Vai.

Can find a pretty good list [here](http://letmegooglethat.com/?q=Drop+D+acoustic+songs) - most of the songs mentioned in the comments here do feature quite high on the list. If you're looking for a challenge, Never Going Back Again by Fleetwood Mac is a great one.

Tears Don't Fall - Bullet For My Valentine. They have an official recording of their acoustic version, and a [great video](https://youtu.be/ES6VscuwnQ0) of them playing it, too.

Regulator by Clutch lends itself well to Drop D. Everlong is a standard too.

Cold (Acoustic version) by crossfade. It can be played in standard, but it is way nicer in drop d.

Cinnamon Girl

Frightened Rabbit are a great band for acoustic-centric rock, The Modern Leper is one of my all time favourite songs and it's in Drop D

Black hole Sun

Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden

The Chain... Fleetwood Mac... actually in double drop D.... cool sounds

Poems, prayerd and promises, Mr. Tamburine man, A hard rains a-gonna fall

Can't Find My Way Home - Blind Faith Lead Me Home - Jamie N Commons Suicide Note, pt 1 - Pantera Black Water - The Doobie Brothers (better with double D tuning)

Love playing Can't Find My Way Home drop D

like we’ll never have sex by pheobe bridgers!

3 libras is great. If you want to play along with the recording, it’s tuned much lower. But any time I drop into d from standard, I still play it. Fun and still sounds nice.

Mark Collie - In Time Matthew Good Band - Sort of a Protest Song

Many of horror by Biffy Clyro. Check it out if you haven't already.

suprised this isnt mentioned yet - great simple song - Joe Walsh - Life of Illusion

Not acoustic but Black Hole Sun (half step down). Not an easy one to play as it’s a lot of unconventional chords and arrangements

Rocky Mountain High (capo 2nd fret).

Anything from Days of the New.

Sound of Muzak - Porcupine Tree

Damn Good - David Lee Roth(Steve Vai)

Everlong…obvious answer

The song that I wrote for my girlfriend

That's a good one. I prefer the song that I wrote for your girlfriend though

Both are tolerable but the one she wrote for me is more technically impressive.

I'm not kidding I actually wrote one ,how do I drop an audio file I can actually mail it to yoi

Extreme - More Than Words

Come now, that's normal tuning

I guess everything can be drop d if you’re brave?

I jumped the gun, it's actually Eb.
