Open Tuning made EASY

  • The fastest way to play guitar is with open tuning. You don't need to learn chords or theory. You only need to use 1 finger, 2 ears, and YOUR heart.
    In this video I break down the basics of open tuning and how you can use it to immediately improve your guitar playing. Basic melodies can be turned into beautiful acoustic pieces without thought. It's awesome. It's my favourite thing I've recently started doing on guitar and I think anyone can have a lot of fun with it. Whether you're a beginner or have been playing for years, it's a great tool to have.
    The world of alternate tunings can be pretty daunting, but it's actually much easier to start using than you might think.
    Thanks for watching and enjoy :)

    Seems like too much work. Why would I spend 10 minutes tuning my guitar to open tuning when I can just learn the same melody in the span of 8 weeks.

    great video on it! For me, i tend to avoid open tuning bc I dont wanna bother relearning the notes on the fretboard when i feel like doing little nuances up high but it doesnt take any time at all to sound good with open tuning. If you feel comfortable sliding, you will need 2 fingers to play each chord (the root on the E string and the 10th on the G string)

  • @RijaMo
    @RijaMo ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Ah shit I don't get it. So essentially, you're changing the sound of guitar compared to the standard one?

    • @RedlightBlue
      @RedlightBlue  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Exactly. Standard tuning is used because each string is more or less the same number of notes apart from each other. But if you just play all of the strings at once, it doesn't sound particularly good. Which is why normally you use open chord and barre chord shapes.
      But with open tuning, instead of making a chord shape to play the notes in a chord, you just change the notes that your strings are tuned to.
      E---->D
      A---->A
      D---->D
      G---->F#
      B---->A
      E---->D
      And then without fretting any of the strings, you can just strum and play a chord.
      After that, you can just fret one string at a time and play the rest open and it will sound really good!
      Let me know if that makes sense
