"My Own Summer (Shove It)" by the Deftones
Tabbed by Carey Phelps (ShapeShifter)
Tuning: Dropped D Tuning
---How to D tune: In D tuning, the only string that is changed is the
E string, the biggest one. The rest of the strings remain in standard
tuning. Turn the knob at the top of the guitar neck clockwise to make
the string get a lower sound. You can tell it is tuned to D correctly
when you can play the top two strings at the same fret and have them
sound in harmony. Do your best, it's worth it, because D tuning makes
your guitar sound heavier, plus you only need to use one finger to play
the chords, so you can jump around and play at the same time much
easier.
