Awesome tutorial! I have significant left hand ulnar nerve damage and I have been dying to find a way to play a little music again…this seems promising. Thank you!
This is my new favorite tuning. You can barely play any famous songs with it but that’s like the only con. Almost no matter what you do, it will sound good.
🔵 thanks ❕ i've avoided open tunings for years on end cause i could not easily find relatable material - but now that i've bought a couple resonator guitars , i'm determined to learn ❕👍 🐊 🐸🍀
I had the exact same question. I looked up mixolydian mode and found out that it does intentionally have a flat 7th (10th fret) in the scale on purpose in order to add a dissonance especially when playing blues. I wish he had explained this as a lot of new players are left with the notion a flat 7th is part of the normal D scale.
Thomas Tommy yes she does. she plays in open tunings. if you bar across all the strings that's a chord. Like in open d, strike the strings open rusts a d. Bar at the 5th fret that's the 4 chord G, bar at the 7th fret that's the 5 chord A. that is your basic 1,4,5 progression.
IMHO his Martin guitar sounds very nice indeed and I was thinking just that before I saw your critical comment. Sweet acoustic tone. Different strokes.
Man thank you! Best open D tutorial I've seen when it comes to finger picking. Awesome! My day is saved!

Nope. Listen to it.
Sorry, it's a mixolydian scale so he is playing it correctly.
I noticed that, it sounded dissonant.

Here's a dumb question for you - can't you do that over any chord you choose?
!!!
Have you ever seen Dolly Parton play the guitar? She never hits a cord. She just picks notes. What is she turning her guitar in?
Thomas Tommy 4
Thomas Tommy yes she does. she plays in open tunings. if you bar across all the strings that's a chord. Like in open d, strike the strings open rusts a d. Bar at the 5th fret that's the 4 chord G, bar at the 7th fret that's the 5 chord A. that is your basic 1,4,5 progression.
Thomas Tommy Double D tuning!
Too much talking..
Good ..but the guitar sounds like $100 toy ...martin?..poor sound!

Man what do you play ? if that sound like a toy ..just wondered
There is always someone who has to criticize.... even when blatantly unnecessary !!
