Drop D tuning means that the Low E string is tuned down to a D note. There are a few methods of quickly tuning down. 1. Play the open D-String (4th string) and tune down the E-String (6th string) to match in pitch. Tuning by ear isn't always 100% accurate - but if you have a good ear this is a quick way to achieve "Drop-D" tuning. 2. Use an electronic tuner. Tune your Low E string down one whole step to D. 3. Cheat. Use a "Drop D Capo". While you aren't really "tuning' your guitar - you can simply slip on a capo and have the dropped tuning sound. Most guitar stores will sell Drop D Capo's. 4. Use a Drop D tuner. You will have to replace the tuning mechanism on your guitars headstock with a specialized drop d tuner.

Drop D Tuning is where you tune the 6th string (The large E string) Down to a D note, so that it is one octave lower than the 4th string. This is used to create a heavier sound effect. Once in Drop D tuning, you can fret the 4,5,6 strings all on the same fret to produce the chords instead of doing the standard "power" chords. If you're talking guitar, I think you're saying how do you tune to D? You lower your 6 string to D. In other words take your low E down to D.

Basically, make your low top string sound like your 3rd string. You should be tuning the low top string down to make it the same note as your 3rd string. Simply put. haha.
