How do you tune to c i can tune standard and drop D but not drop C i dont understand what c is? please help?

I assume you're trying to tune a guitar to drop-C? It's the same principle as drop-D, except down one step further. Simply stated (from low to high):





Standard: E-A-D-G-B-E


Drop-D: D-A-D-G-B-E


D (everything down one full step): D-G-C-F-A-D


Drop-C: C-G-C-F-A-D





You'll hear drop-C on (amongst many others) Metallica's "St. Anger" and just about everything by System Of A Down *prior to* "Mezmerize/Hypnotize" (which was drop-D, down half a step: Db-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb).





It can be quite a pain to tune a guitar to these tunings without the use of a chromatic tuner, so I'd definitely recommend you get one if you don't have one already. If you don't and you're planning to get one, make sure it'll allow you to tune to any note (A-B-C-D-E-F-G) and that it has a half-step (# or b) indicator for those half-step notes.
