D Tuning , also called One Step Lower , Bottom Step Down , Full Step or D Standard , is an alternative tuning for the guitar. Each string is lowered with an overall tone or two semitones producing D-G-C-F-A-D . It is mostly used by heavy metal bands to achieve heavier, deeper sound and by blues guitarists, who use it to accommodate flexible strings.
