One of the lowest common drop tunings — a full fifth below Drop D. Crushing, chuggy territory for deathcore and modern djent, usually on heavy strings or extended-scale guitars. Low to high: G D G C E A.
Drop G tuning is, from the low (6th) string to the high (1st) string, G D G C E A.
This is an extreme low tuning — use very heavy strings (.013–.065+) or a baritone/extended-scale guitar to keep tension playable. Take Drop A (A E A D F# B) and lower every string a further whole step, or tune directly to, low to high: G D G C E A. The 6th and 4th strings are both G an octave apart, so you get one-finger power chords like Drop D — just far heavier.
