Dropped-D Tuning
Not really necessary for gu2(Omar)

Intro

Use a delay pedal to create a delayed effect when not fretting things properly.
E.g. Lay your first finger across the fret board at fret 11 or another high fret
but do not fret the strings mute them as if you were doing natural harmonics.
You can then then mess round with your guitar to create different sounds.

On my Boss-DD5 Delay pedal I set it as follows:
Level = So that the delay volumn is the same as you original volumn
Feedback = about middle to 3/4
D.Time = Middle
Option set to 3 which is 200ms-800ms.  This makes the D.Time at middle to be
around 500ms.
