I was reading Keith Richards Biography "Life" when and on page 239 he talks about how he primarily uses open tuning. Also he said he turned Ike Turner on to open tuning. So I went to my guitar dictionary, "Guitar for Dummy’s" to get more clues, and they mention how Keith Richards is one of the champions of open tuning. So I tried it out (open E) on the blues songs I know. I never got how slide guitar works best until I tried the open tuning. It opens a whole new world of exciting sounds. The Blues are the root note to rock and roll. I've bee a long time amateur guitar player and thought open tuning seemed too difficult, however with the advent of portable tuners getting to open tuning is much easier. Thank you for broadening the horizons by showing the stacked and staggered progressions.

The thing I love most about DADFAD is that it's very close to standard tuning but you still get the open chord when you strum. the capitalized notes I am highlighting in DadFAD are the same as D standard, and remaining a and d notes are the same as e standard. I learned the fretboard in standard and what really helped me to do it was memorizing shapes and patterns of different scales and chords. With DADFAD, I only have to make a minor adjustment and I can easily play my standard tuning repertoire without having to completely rework it due to different string intervals

@@Baghdadbatterymusic so, would DAD be the open D major, or would F#AD be the open D major? I don't know anything about music theory lol. I got into a cigar box guitar because I wanted to play guitar, but didn't have much money, and a CBG was 80 dollars. It also looks cooler than a regular guitar, and has 3 strings instead of 6, so the chord shapes are much easier. And IMO, I couldn't tell the difference between a 3 string and a 6 string.

@@-jank-willson f# a d would be open d major. There are 3 notes that make up a minor and major chord. The 1 (root), 3, and 5. The only difference between a minor and major chord is the 3rd is flattened 1 half step for minor. So d minor = D(1), F(3), A(5). To make it major just move that F up a half step to F#! The 1,3, and 5 don’t have to be in that order either, it just means you’re playing an inversion of that chord.

super simple too. You can do good sounding music on an open tuning by just putting you finger on a fret across all the strings, and just sliding it to the different frets to make different notes. Very useful so that people who can't play a guitar (chord shapes) can still enjoy a guitar. Although of course it will be very simple music and you can't do as much with it without chord shapes.

Nice! Now drop the high E string down another tone to C, giving Dm7th open. The downside is the major now takes 2 fingers. The upside is yoù can easily play the major and dominant 7th. Since this is a bar chord you can now play any chord type for every semitone.

Cool lesson. I have only the least rudimentary grasp on theory, but I did notice that you showed a total of 7 chord shapes. I also noticed that there are 7 notes in the scale. Theres a relationship there for sure, I just don't know what it is.
@Baghdadbatterymusic
Жыл бұрын
At the bare minimum, there are really only 3 shapes you NEED to know to play the basic chords in a key. Major, minor, and diminished. In a major key, using the major scale, we have 7 notes and these 7 notes combine in different ways to give you chords of that key ( which just means all the notes of that chord are contained in the respective key). If we are in key C Major, the 1 chord is a c major. That's because the first and root note of the c major scale is C, and the major scale only contains the major 3rd, and lacking a minor 3rd, of a c chord, so therefore the 1 chord is c major. The second note of the c major scale is d, and the 2 chord would be d minor. Again, since the c major scale doesn't contain the major 3rd of D, its a minor chord - even though the key is major. If you follow this logic you get these chords for major keys I-major, ii-minor, iii-minor, IV-major, V-major, vi-minor, VII-diminished And for minor keys i-minor, II-diminished, III-major, iv-minor, v-minor, VI-major, VII-major (diminished just means that the 5 note of chord is flattened 1 half step) If you know the major and minor scales, and a few different shapes of those 3 chords, you can really play any song. Once you get comfortable with that you can start adding in more extended harmony

basically this tuning is drop D for the top 3 strings (E is dropped a tone to D, A and D are the same) then the rest of the guitar is D standard which means that you tune everything down 1 tone. hope that helps you understand. if you know all the positions of the minor/major/ whatever scale you want on all of the guitar, this will help you visualize. if you except the thickest string, everything is the same, just with a discrepancy of 1 tone (2 frets) on the lower 3 strings
