no drop Db is not the same as Drop C...drop C is half a step below Drop Db...Hope to be of help :) btw GREAT TAB!!
This is crazy accurate. If only I could get down the strumming. It's hard to do and sing at the same time. I'm working on it. Great tab, keep it up.
if your in drop B or somethin yeah you could capo it, obviously not if your higher than C
