Standard Tuning to Drop C?

My guitar is on standard tuning right now. I really want to play an acoustic song by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. The song is in Drop C. Im afraid if i try it on my own i might screw up.





So do you tighten the strings from standard to drop c?


or loosen them?

Standard Tuning to Drop C?
Loosen. It's called DROP c, so you drop the pitch to a lower note.





You're tuning down two full steps too.
Reply:You would loosen them, you might have noticed by now, tightening the strings highers the pitch of the strings, so loosening the strings will lower the pitch of the strings.

That website has preset tunings. In case you don't have a digital tuner. You select your instrument, and then you select the tuning you want to tune your guitar to, and voila, a guitar pops up, and you hover over each string to hear the pitch, and tune your guitar with it. You would select Drop C for your tuning, you'll see it there, it has a whole bunch of other tunings too! It's a great site, I use it all the time. Hope that helps, good luck!
