Out of experimenting I have found that the most ambient warm sounding open C tuning I have discovered for myself was to use 14-60 gauge strings and tuning to CGCGCD at 433Hz/cents! 🤘😎
Wow! Love it!!!!! I have arthritis that's bending my fingers and the pain is unbearible at times so I have been doing a lot of slide stuff, and this tuning is great!!! Thanx so much for posting and I have subscribed to you and look forward to more of your videos. Love the sound of your guitar too!
@@MrJOHNMICHAELVEGA Thank you, after my cancer treatments 8 years ago that left me with neuropathy in my hands and feet, half deaf because they cut my ear drums and almost 6 side effects for the rest of my life, and gave me 4 years to live....now at 71 , I did the research and changed my diet, no fast foods, all organic, high quality vitamins, I beat there death sentence hahahaha....I play 10 instruments, and do instrumentation for artists all over the world out of my little studio here in Florida. I use the name Ismus ( Izzy ) Betrue to hold my real identity as I was stalked once. If you are ever curious, one of the bands I work with is called "Stay Tuned" and the latest song we did on YT is called " Down Here ". I love your playing and why I subbed your channel!!! Your work is excellent!
Great video. I like to change my tuning quite a bit. Open C to play Question of Balance, G for the Stones, D for Stephen Stills and for other fingerpicking songs.
Been following yor channel for quite some time. Your content is always so original and detailed, I've learned a lot from you throughout the years. Thank you and cheers from Brazil.
I have just watched this on TH-cam for the first time. This was one of the tunings I experimented with when playing the guitar. I also have used the Drop D, C, G, tuning as well as Open D, D7, A7 & Open G tuning :-).
I just wanted to thank you for the very useful lesson. It's great to be able to get good information quickly and you, sir do that well. I'm not unfamiliar with various tunings but I had yet to really check out open C. I have a nice little home studio and am writing a song and I needed to break a huge sounding section down and the key of C major just screamed to be in there. SO I tuned my guitar to open C but didn't know where to go. Thanks for showing me a few quick things. We be rockin' now, baby!
This tuning was used extensively and to great effect by John Fahey. As far as I can tell he invented the tuning, recording songs with it as early as 1958. If anybody has an example of earlier use I would be interested to know. I played in this tuning almost exclusively for about a year. Anybody wishing to get into this tuning should learn sunflower river blues by Fahey as a rite of passage in my opinion. It was the first song I ever learned in an open tuning and I never turned back. Robbie Basho played open c and it’s many variants with the most versatility, that’s not even up for debate. I just can’t get into the techniques of the contemporary fingerstyle players, very boring. Great tuning for 12 String too. Try CGCGCC.
Love the chord progression towards the end....it's easy to add a few variations all up and down the neck and get a truly haunting melody. Thank you for this inspiring lesson.
I first learned about the open C by learning Jimmy Paige's Bron 'y' Aur- and it sounds beautiful and easy to make some of your own songs if you're into playing ambient, pretty sounds. Love doing harmonics on open C
Just a great video - well explained. Benn mess'n with open tunings for a few months and they do indeed inspire the creative juices!! Well done my man - WELL DONE!!
Thank you. You're a great teacher. I think one of the best ways of dealing with alternative tuning is to have--if you can afford it--an extra guitar just for experimentation. That way you have one in standard tuning at all times.
If you use the 7th string(which is the B below E) from a seven string guitar as your 6th string, then when you tune it to C, you actually are pulling the string up 1/2-step. This will give you a brighter, crisp tone. 5th string goes up a whole step to G. 4th string stays on D. 3rd string stays on G. 2nd String stays on B. 1st string can stay on E, or drop it down to D. using the 5th string as your bass, strum all open strings for a nice fat G chord, then hammer on the 2nd fret of the 4th string with your middle finger and the 1st fret of the 2nd string with your forefinger. This will give you an awesome plagal cadence.
I got into open tunings a few years ago, i did and open E but i left the A string standard.... Got some pretty cool sounds from that, it became my signature tuning of the band i was in at the time
You can see this tuning as a different instrument. You can play basslines. You can play chords on the lower three strings. You can play chords on the higher three strings. You can combine it.
I recorded an intrumental piece in open tunning, 1-5-1-1-5-1. I mixed the Applause guitar signal half natural and half through effects and added dumbek also mixed 50-50. You can hear it searching John St. Pierre Traveling Light CD Song to Arjuna. Drone on! Peace John
Nice ! A good idea with Open C, is to dedicate a cheap old guitar (like a Stella) to this tuning: the unique sound of this ole piece of wood goes so well with it. Try "Texas Lemon Flavor" (very old Stefan Grossman piece) in open C, with a small guitar, it's a treat...
I am a lefty. I play bass, but I was always too poor to buy a left handed guitar or bass. So I taught myself to play upside down. Open tunings have made my playing more versatile. Bass I can play in standard. I'm a metal player so I can get away with a lot of crazy techniques normal players can't. The only issue is my band mates often get confused and cant follow by watching. I love open C though.
Is it possible to do a lesson about arpeggios in open c. I am figuring it out myself but it is quite a hard puzzle. I must say open c is easier to understand than standard tuning.
John Faneuil said C was a great tuning because there was such a wide range from the lowest note to the highest note. Most piano like. I’ve used a long time but you showed me some chords I don’t know. I’ve already started writing a song with what I learned from your video. And I appreciate it very much You have to realize that when you say “harmonize” and intervals“ a lot of us don’t know what you’re talking about Also you said you were going to show us some licks and then you didn’t
My favorite open tunings are D major and DADGAD...they have a certain, haunting and mesmerizing quality to them. The open C is interesting, also. Very warm and cello-like.
Do you know why "the guitar settles down" when you're retuning it? It's because when you change the tension on several strings in the same direction, in this case lowering them, the neck bends a little thus increasing the tension on the remaining strings, therefore they go a little sharper. Then you tune them which changes the tension again. Round and round. Trick is to tune toward the desired pitch but not quite all the way to it
On my electric guitars I use; D'Addario XL Medium Gauge (11-49) When it comes to Acoustic Guitar, I use; D'Addario Light Gauge For Classical Guitar I use D'Addario "Pro-Arte," EJ31 Rectified Nylon (Hard Tension) Hope this helps - Andrew
I tune my A to 420hhz. Its also the same tuning that Hendrix,Rhoads,Vanhalen Iommi(Dio era onward) Blue Oyster Cult,Old Kiss,Candlemas, Saint Vitus etc used. 420! The stoned key is what I call it.Its the shit my Homey Iommi.Feels so much warmer and natural.........
I've found C to have limited value as regards melody, but the deep roar and parallel octaves are breathtaking. John Fahey used this a lot. Check out "Requem for John Hurt," "When the Catfish is in Bloom," and "Revolt of the Dyke Brigade." Fahey also came out with great titles.
I got excepted to GIT back in the late 80’s. Couldn’t afford the tuition. Oh well. I taught myself , and now I don’t sound like all the rest. I enjoy using DGCGCD But this is pretty cool also.
Very nice. I have been playing on Open C for a while now and have some tunes written on this tune. I use 0,10" strings but what do you suggest as a beeter set to have that C bass note rings ?
enjoyed the video- gonna give it a shot- maybe tune 1 of my guitars to open C ona a permanent basis. could help me to creative ( more ) in my songwriting. CHEERS Andrew.
I wish there was a book that had all the different open /alternate tunings with appropriate chord shapes to follow. As a limited guitar player I would be just guessing positions on the fret board and most would sound ridiculous.
Very interesting! I have never tried an open tuning. You don't mention the dominant 7th chord, in this case G 7, or any diminished chords. Are they more difficult? And how would you handle a movement into the dominant during a melody? Are those chords shapes as easy? - or slightly more difficult. Thanks for the lesson. You have given me some ideas.
I understand why you might feel that way but the truth is open tunings are a lot easier to play. Best thing to do is a tune your guitar to open C or G and then just mess around with it until you hit upon something that you like to be real surprised how great it sounds. Sync Joni Mitchell, David Crosby, Michael Hedges and folks like that Dash they all got that big orchestral sound
I use open C, with the exception of the high E which I tune to D , does this change the tuning to Open C minor? or do I just have a 1 wanky tuned string?
I think what is critical to a better solo guitar sound is a much lower 6th string than the other strings. When this kind of increased space exists between the 6th and 1st string, it produces a much better landscape to wander than does the traditional 2 8ve E to E, which most guitarists unimaginatively confine themselves to wandering.
What a terrible comment from you Jack. You should be ashamed for saying these ideas. Many brilliant guitarists use open tunings. Carlo Domeniconi is an amazing Italian composer /guitarist who has compositions in many open tunings. He is no "Chump." Another great player is Spanish great "Pablo Villegas." He uses many open tunings and is one of the top Spanish classical guitarist's in the world with an international career and he has won many awards. Definitely no "Chump," (as you like to say). Again you've made a grave error with your short-sighted comment. I think it is terrible.
@@Jollynoose Wasn't good as well. You are the architect, the artist and you should feel free to express yourself how ever you want, without any limitations
@@ayahtzeenazi geeeze you guys sure do read alot into these comments. i dont really think that dude was trying to suppress me, i had an opinion he had an opinion. in a way he was confiming mine i just didnt try to put anything negative in mine and im not sure he did it intentionally at all. he hasnt heard me play and i havent heard him. if we ever meet and have that beer so to speak, we might hit it off and jam our asses off together then again we might not be able to stand each other, you never know, but to go after him over somthing as petty as this, well come on now

Took me a sec,but savage 😎
Soundgarden used open c for a few of their songs. That's where I learned about alternate tunings. "burden in my hands" is my favorite to play.
Amen brother!!!
Bryan Jones they used dozens of tunings
Love your lessons. Learned open G, D & E and Open F for “When the Levee Breaks.” Now Open C. Thank you.
Listen song "Devin Townsend's "Feather", it is open C and very good song. I play it on acoustic.
Wow! Love it!!!!! I have arthritis that's bending my fingers and the pain is unbearible at times so I have been doing a lot of slide stuff, and this tuning is great!!! Thanx so much for posting and I have subscribed to you and look forward to more of your videos. Love the sound of your guitar too!
This tuning is amazing. You can do so many things, with just one finger too.
Watch Ivor Cummins and Dr. Berry for your health problems. ❤️🎶😎

Best reason I have come up with to tell my wife I need a new guitar! Now I need an open C tuned one!
Great video. I like to change my tuning quite a bit. Open C to play Question of Balance, G for the Stones, D for Stephen Stills and for other fingerpicking songs.
Thanks Much! I've been playing any years but never explored this C tuning. But I will now. Light and Peace! DaveyJO in Pa.
I play in open c all the time it’s by far my favorite to play in

It's amazing how 'throaty' that guitar sounds when tuned to C. I wonder how a cheap guitar would sound if tuned down.
Better for sure as long as it stays in tune
Open C minor is where its at. IF, you love beauty and saddness, and everything dark in between. Thanks for the video.
I first learned about the open C by learning Jimmy Paige's Bron 'y' Aur- and it sounds beautiful and easy to make some of your own songs if you're into playing ambient, pretty sounds. Love doing harmonics on open C
Just a great video - well explained. Benn mess'n with open tunings for a few months and they do indeed inspire the creative juices!!
Well done my man - WELL DONE!!
You may also need to make a truss rod adjustment because of the large difference in string tension.
C is sooooo easy to play. Country licks are awesome. Rock goes hard too
Can you elaborate
Such a great tutorial! Thank you so much for this easy to follow and understand lesson.
*Devin Townsend intensifies*
Ha ha,he's used open C forever 6 & 7 string.
Dude, fuck yeah, he's who got me into using C to begin with, I love using it
@@morningstar6506 Same!! Deadhead. Fuck yeah 🤤
Amazing hauntingly beautiful sound ever. Soundgarden uses this tuning in Head Down, pretty noose and Burden in my hand. Awesome!!!
I love Open C tuning. I have one acoustic set up for open C and one for open G as well. Great stuff.
Cool, thanks!

I did this on my old Carlos acoustic which is very deep sounding anyway. Man it’s so beautiful
And a great way to stay in shape
We'll never catch him...not in these shoes
I keep a parlor guitar in open C. I like it a lot. Good for blues - including slide, Celtic, breaking out of patterns.
Melodies come naturally with this one
Duuuuuude.......how crunchy. I'm always tuned in 420.
Hahahahaha! Its always cool to see your comments on different channels! Keep on Rockin' Groovy!
Definitely going to try open C now. Thanks. Sweet guitar sound btw.
I tried an open chord tuning of Bflat Maj7. It took me years to get it back to Standard Tuning.
Tuning pls
I got into open tunings a few years ago, i did and open E but i left the A string standard.... Got some pretty cool sounds from that, it became my signature tuning of the band i was in at the time

"Question" written by Justin Hayward and performed by the Moody Blues is a classic Open C song.

Love this. David Wilcox uses open C a lot. On "Show The Way" for instance.
Well done Andrew. A tuning that I haven't used yet. I will.
Thanks for this great tutorial! I subscribed.

You bet, I've popped strings open tuning so I got away from it. Now, it's time to get back to it. Thanks
I like your approach! Will visit your site asap! Thanks
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks for your time and Share your knowledge,Professor.Im using various Altered Tunings , a lot a Practice to remember all but is Great Colors.

John fahey
Colin Hay - i just don't think ill ever get over you. Great open c tune.
Try Travis Meadows song called “Learning To Live Alone” for example … also open C but e string tuned to d…
Sounds great. That low C is so heavy. Reminds me of John Fahey and Leo Kottke.
My favorite open tunings are D major and DADGAD...they have a certain, haunting and mesmerizing quality to them. The open C is interesting, also. Very warm and cello-like.
Mess around with open E, but leave the A string a standard A.... Its neat
The acoustic on Karnivools cover of Hey now is in open C. But high E is a D not E
Do you know why "the guitar settles down" when you're retuning it?

For Classical Guitar I use D'Addario "Pro-Arte," EJ31 Rectified Nylon (Hard Tension)
Hope this helps - Andrew
The great Nick Drake used many open tunings to create many beautiful and haunting songs.
Yep.. like pink moon.. he used a a variant of open C tuned CGCFCE vice CGCGCE
Nick Drake ❤️ RIP
Thats correct mate the great Nick Drake
i am definitely going to listen more to nick
Isn't CGCEGC open C tuning and why would there be different forms of open C tuning?
tab for the second chord progression played towards the end? that was beautiful!
Thanx for this.. and your guitar sounds marvelous!
Really enjoyed this lesson thank you.
Brilliant, I haven’t tried open c yet. Thanks. 👍🏻
I tune my A to 420hhz. Its also the same tuning that Hendrix,Rhoads,Vanhalen Iommi(Dio era onward) Blue Oyster Cult,Old Kiss,Candlemas, Saint Vitus etc used. 420! The stoned key is what I call it.Its the shit my Homey Iommi.Feels so much
warmer and natural.........
So glad I found your channel!
ive been straight D/drop C for years. ive played with violins n they love C. never tried open C tho🍻
If you want to hear Open C in all its glory and splendor, listen to 'Sunflower River Blues' by John Fahey.
I've found C to have limited value as regards melody, but the deep roar and parallel octaves are breathtaking. John Fahey used this a lot. Check out "Requem for John Hurt," "When the Catfish is in Bloom," and "Revolt of the Dyke Brigade." Fahey also came out with great titles.
extremely late to the party but HAVE to share this when I get the chance - Open C on a 12 string!! Amazing
interesting what kind of Guitar are you using . it looks thicker or deeper than usual.
looks like mahogany
I got excepted to GIT back in the late 80’s. Couldn’t afford the tuition. Oh well. I taught myself , and now I don’t sound like all the rest.
I enjoy using DGCGCD
But this is pretty cool also.
Do you think that 'Open C' requires a special construction? The low 'C' can be quite weak, even with a heavier string.
gonna try this out. Cheers!
my strat is either open g or 1/2 step down. my les paul i keep in standard tuning
Very nice. I have been playing on Open C for a while now and have some tunes written on this tune. I use 0,10" strings but what do you suggest as a beeter set to have that C bass note rings ?
enjoyed the video- gonna give it a shot- maybe tune 1 of my guitars to open C ona a permanent basis. could help me to creative ( more ) in my songwriting. CHEERS Andrew.
Love the big sound of your bass. Would you run down equipment used?
Do you know what open tuning is Barry Gibbs guitar. W.H Percival.
I wish there was a book that had all the different open /alternate tunings with appropriate chord shapes to follow. As a limited guitar player I would be just guessing positions on the fret board and most would sound ridiculous.
funny enough, i have a printout i got off the internet in front of me. Alternate tuning guide- by Bill Sethares. or try Chordie.com. good luck.
@@michaelstevenson5611 Thankyou.

I'd really like to know what model of Fender that is. I'm not sure I've ever heard such a clearly recorded acoustic on a YT clip....
Does anything need to be done to the set up if using a tuning like this frequently?
I think I am not at the stage to learn this tuning.. standard tunining still get more way to learn for me

I understand why you might feel that way but the truth is open tunings are a lot easier to play.

very helpful! Thanks for sharing. What guage strings do you use?
I use open C, with the exception of the high E which I tune to D , does this change the tuning to Open C minor? or do I just have a 1 wanky tuned string?
that's the type of sound i really like...
Open D is fabulous. As well as open G
@@defstuv8682 depends on which side you're on.
@Roger didit Love Keith's playing in open G
Use a guitar processor for open tuning like Joni Mitchel does. Retuning is old school.
a what ?
Joni uses a Roland vg 8. Boss gp 10 is also option. Called processors or synthesizers.
A guitar processor sucks,
Imo don't be lazy, tune the guitar.
Some of those tuning can hurt the guitars neck.
excellent sound and tutorial
I think what is critical to a better solo guitar sound is a much lower 6th string than the other strings. When this kind of increased space exists between the 6th and 1st string, it produces a much better landscape to wander than does the traditional 2 8ve E to E, which most guitarists unimaginatively confine themselves to wandering.

I can never get an acoustic guitar to sound good lower than c#. Is the neck different?
