Hrm, Instructions are hard without being there to show you... Do you have a tuner you can use?

Go to Drop D, and then go down one whole step. So it will be: CGCFAD.

kasacoon oh, ok thanks, it'll be much apreciated. would it help any to use a higher gauge string? Yes. The tuneing is hard to to keep at that level. Especialy the low C. I use a 48 guage string for the C string. But if you want to use Open C tuneing(CGCGCE) for more chordal use, try something with higher gauge low strings with standerd higher strings.Skinny Top heavy Bottom Ernie ball should work. Unless you are useing a guitar with a floating bridge. Then the open tuneing might not be a good idea.

cant say i use a whole lot of cords, mostly power cords and various riffs, but i think where just going to stay with drop d now, but i'm still going to invest in heavier strings, should i replace the nut, or keep the ones that i have on it?

You don't have to replace the nut. It might be a good idea to widen the slits though. Intonation will have to be changed a litle if you do up the guage but not tune lower.
