Drop D-flat tuning.

Drop D♭ Tuning, also referred to as Drop C♯ Tuning, is an alternative guitar tuning. It is similar to Drop-D tuning, having the lowest (sixth) string dropped down three semitones to Db, with the rest of the strings being tuned down one semitone. The tuning (from low strings to high strings) is D♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭. This type of tuning is mostly used by modern rock bands and is one of the most commonly used alternative tunings.
