This is possibly my favorite Reverb video ever. I honestly don’t remember how I got into alternate tunings (I think just fiddling with the tuning heads and growing up on so much blues 🤷🏼♂️), but I’ve found more and more of my very favorite musicians over the years have gone down this road. Keef, of course, Nick Drake and Joni Mitchell as you mention here, Richie Havens. No shortage of these sorts of pure explorers, and as Joe touches on, there’s something very *essential* (in every meaning of the word) to music in just stepping into the unknown and being led.

great video, vestapol (D maj), cross string (D min), and the Drake tunings are in my top 5 tunings. My favorite however, is Guy Clark's tuning. Capo every string on the 2nd fret, except the low E. This allows you to play drop D structures (in E). What makes it better than drop D (besides not having to actually touch your tuning pegs), is being able to still play open G, as well as every barre chord.

I love Fripp's tuning because I come to the guitar from the piano/keyboard and it makes so much sense in terms of layout. I would have had a much easier time learning guitar had I started with new standard tuning. It would have sucked for learning other people's music, but great for exploring compositional ideas of your own (Sweet Child 'O Mine sounded hilariously like something from Larks Tongue in Aspic and not GNR). I also really liked Joni Mitchell's tuning too. BTW that Taylor sounded beautiful.

Every time I think of open tunings I mainly think of Delta Blues guitarists like Robert Johnson, Blind Blake, and Ry Cooder, and Elmore James and Johnny Winter. But when it comes to other alternative tunings, the first person I think about that I believe could have been included is Johnny Rzeznik of The Goo Goo Dolls. Although most wouldn’t consider him a guitarist more than he is a singer-songwriter, I’ve read that a lot of his material had been recorded using many various and unorthodox guitar tunings, even their most famous song “Iris”. Another guitarist I believe should have been included is Jimmy Page. Songs like “The Rain Song”, “Kashmir”, “Traveling Riverside Blues”, “In My Time of Dying”, “Bron Yr Stomp” had utilized different and unorthodox open tunings

I think that open minor tuning is an excellent idea and I don't know why it isn't more common, because until today I had never given it any thought, and the more I think of it the better the idea sounds. To be able to swap between major and minor chords, and even sus chords with 1 finger and 1 or 2 frets is much easier than attempting to finger a minor chord in open major chord, because to be perfectly honest I don't know how to play a minor chord in open tuning. I know that open minor tuning probably makes slide guitar that bit more difficult but we can't have everything can we? Besides, it's still easier than playing slide in regular tuning. What a revelation open minor tuning is !! 😎👍

@@larrygeetar9309 DADGAD is close to Nick Drake tuning, though the B and high e strings are tuned to C and E respectively, which gives a more harmonically complex chord, rather than DADGAD which is basically tonics, 5ths and 4th stacked on top of each other giving, admittedly similar intervals to NDT, though slightly more obvious direction than NDT, as well as more places to go, hence its greater use in a wide variety of music. Interesting idea that DADGAD begets NDT. I can certainely see why it would, though I think this might just be coincidence as Nick Drake's various tunings can be more clearly understood as attempts to voice chords in the same (quite clustered) ways his mother, Molly Drake, played on piano.

Fripp's NST uniquely makes everything SOUND orchestral,- very "pretty". Surprised it hasn't been more widely embraced by the ambient crowd, though as demonstrated, you do have to reconfigure the nut, truss rod, etc,- and use non standard string gauges.You can achieve similar effects with pedals, but it does help you to see and write in a different way.Also as indicated, not easy to adapt to standard "rock",; just seems adverse to the necessary rough edges.One of the best examples of this done successfully is , no doubt, Fripp's work on Bowie's Heroes & Scary Monsters LP's.Eye opening, unique in structure and tone( courtesy , supposedly of the rare Buzzaround Fuzz- very distinctive & nasty).Still ahead of it's time today.

It's nice to have something like the Roland vg-99 or later units. You can just set up different tunings on a modeled guitar patch. No guitar setup gymnastics to go through. I hear Joni used one of these so she didn't have to change guitars for every song!!! Also, I understand the modeled guitar sounds leave something to be desired, but you can just use this for experimentation till you find the tunings YOU can utilize and have another guitar setup for that.😁😎

Joe, congrats on a really well addressed video. Very good, thank you. The Fripp tuning takes the prize for originality, and the Nick Drake tuning sounds so different from it's kissing cousin, DADGAD. Drake's tuning is DADGAD, but all strings down a full step from that. One way to describe those tunings is a sus4. DADGAD is a Dsus4 open chord, and the Drake is Csus4. Try this one - EADGBD. It's called Fake G or Reverse Drop D, also the Memphis Minnie Tuning. It gives you the top four strings of open G while allowing you to play regular chords, power chords and blues shuffles. If you like to drop in and out of slide using open G, this is a real good one. I stumbled on it years ago and thought I "invented" it. Wrong! I saw Erin Harpe (Erin Harpe and the Delta Swingers) use it and she gave me the history. Very useful.

DADGAd /Dsus4/ Celtic tuning should be mentioned as is crucial to many traditional instrument tunings around the globe, Irish (Celtic in general), Greek (or Balkan in general), Turkish, Arabic, Middle Eastern, Oriental & Eastern European traditional & folk music in all ways as well as modern up to day country & folk music, African, Afro beat etc. Being an alternate tuning player for years it's the only one I find myself still using. It is extremely balanced and derives from God Apollo's tuning of Lyre, EABE, DGAD. etc. What I consider most about alternate tunings is being able to cover as many musical genres as possible. I 've ended to-> Standard & Variations (etc single or double dropped D), DADGAD, DADFAD, CGCGCE. Out of open Major tunings the most common is Open G aka Spanish DGDGBD besides blues/ folk/ country/ rnr even used in traditional instruments such the spanish and the melodic 7-string Russian guitar, then DADF#AD (plus the aforementioned CGCGCE, great for covering Videogame and movie themes at times in the key of C). Some specialties are EAEABE (Celtic tone up), EADEBE, DADAAD (great for droning & soloing, sliding etc), EADGCF (All-4ths), DADGCF (All-4ths variant), CGCGCD. I have only taken under consideration alternate tunings that apply well to normal gauge strings without the risk of string snapping or pushing the neck too hard. I hope this is of some help and doesn't disencourage anybody from trying any alternate tuning out! P.S. I forgot to mention a couple of legendary DADGAD players- Rory Gallagher & Jimmy Page, Jimmy Page & Rory Gallagher. Not to mention the countless Irish or American Folk Folks, as well as the Balkans ones! There are also all those great modern or older Dark Blues & Country fellows playing the atmospheric Skip James Tuning. Cheers!

Quick question: after how many years of guitar education would you expect a student to find this useful? After just 1.5 years music school, this sounds way above my head.

I would say that it differs from student to student. But part of the point of this lesson, is that even if the language of it is above your head, it may still be worth exploring simply for the different sounds and colors you can achieve. I encourage you to keep working on whatever you are currently working on with your instrument, and at some point, take a chance on an open tuning :)
