Hi Azrael, welcome to the forum.
I play exclusively in dropped D these days, except when I create my little movie lessons. Then I go into standard and don't know what the hell I'm doing for the first five minutes!
Have you seen any of the lessons I posted at this link yet?

PS: Remember who taught Bonnie to play, and did a damn good job too: Lowell George.
