you dont even need to touch the guitar with your left hand to do chuga chuga hardcore parts, which is such utter bullshit.

oh and holding the 5th string with one finger takes a hell of a lot more talent huh?
i tune to D, drop to C (CGCFAD) not because i want to shortcut powerchords...but because it sounds better for the style of music i play (http://dysentery.cjb.net )

obviously an e power chord isnt much harder than a drop d chord, but its still crap for a guitarist to rely on nothing but the 6th sring to play songs. how can drop tunings sound better for the style of music you're playing? i assume you're not playing country right? well standard tunings sounds exactly the same. if you want your guitar to sound lower tune all your strings down.

you can write great stuff with drop tunings. nile is a good example of that. but the problem is you have the stupid ass hardcore bands comming left and right doing nothing but drop d bullshit. there's no talent in that. drop tunings really do limit your playing ability if you dont know what you're doing. its a nice way for kids who dont know how to play guitar to be in a band.
