Happy Birthday in Dropped D 

* For Dropped D tuning lower your thick E string by a whole tone to D.

This piece isn’t just fun and familiar. It’s also a great way to practice coordination, timing, and finger independence. It’s approachable, musical, and rewarding all at once.

And let’s be honest... being able to whip out a fingerstyle version of “Happy Birthday” at a party? Instant crowd-pleaser!

And if your birthday recipient tears up a little? Well, you’re just that good.

You can play for me on the 18th of April, and play for your loved ones from here on out.

It's a piece of cake. 🎂
