Drop D Fingerstyle Songs?

[MrBJones]

I really like drop-d tuning though I only have a few songs in it. Any suggestions, where tab is available, and the arrangement is intermediate to early advanced?
Thanks!

Annie’s Song by John Denver. He does it drop D on a 12 string but it works on a 6 string too.

Take a look at Toby Walker's D Pack. Delia, Stack O'Lee, Big Road Blues, StatesBoro Blues, and a few others. Some great songs, and great sounding Dropped D arrangements!

[John Bartus]

James Taylor’s “Millworker” and “Country Road.” There are more JT drop D songs as well.

Couple of tabs on my website in dropped D - "Amazing Grace" arrangement and "Taffy" (an original). Midi files you can play to hear how the tab goes.

Dear Prudence-Can't find my way home-Midnight Rider[but I drop the high E string to a D too].Also play Sunny afternoon in drop D .

Ed Gerhard's "Water is Wide"

Check out anything by Chuck Pyle. Wonderful songwriter and performer, gone too soon.

I do a fingerstyle version of Can't Find My Way Home in drop D

[arwhite]

I do Dublin Blues by Guy Clark fingerstyle in Drop D. Don't have tab, but it's pretty easy to figure out.

[Awagner]

Gold Dust Woman.

And if you want to play Double Drop D, Going to California and Black Water.

This will keep you busy for a very long time in lots of different styles. Highly recommended work from the master, Stefan Grossman.

Hi MrBJ
There is no need for TAB - all you have to change are bass notes on the bottom string, and perhaps an inversion to more easily play chords/notes elsewhere.

Any song in keys of D, G, Em are usually easily managed with minor alterations.

We need a "like" button". Anyway, here is the tune:



This has to be one of the most beautiful fingerstyle arrangements ever.
