(Dropped-D Tuning) Quick lesson in drop tuning:
Drop D requires the lowest E string to be loosened (dropped)
slightly to create a power chord with all 3 of the top strings.
EXAMPLE
 E------        E-----
 B------        B-----
 G------        G-----
 D--2---        D--2--
 A--2---        A--2--
 E--0---        D--2--
   Em			Em
In standard     In drop-D

Riff 1

B----------X-X-X-X-X----------------------------
G----------X-X-X-X-X—you get the idea-----------
D--0-6-0---X-X-X-X-X----(really it’s a second---
A--0-6-0---X-X-X-X-X------guitar palm muted) ---

The palm muting comes in a lot
