Staind – It’s been a while

from what I can tell, you should tune the guitar to drop D as well as 
half a step down. I say drop D because I’m sure that the lower notes
on each of the four parts to the riff are played on 2 strings. N this 
sounds near exact, n it also feels easier to play at the second line of 
the intro riff. I think this is right, but don’t take it for gospel n 
keep playin!
