Been rockin this tuning and chords for a while. The best thing about open D is that if you accidentally drop your guitar down the stairs it sounds good all the way down.
Great point.
For slide it adds an extra fret above the fifth to work with and break the monotony . It's twin Open E which is used a lot is to me too hard on the neck and strings. . Open D does seem to be the most versatile of the major chord open tunings . I use open G also and like it but D gives me more original variations on playing and songwriting.
hahaha! true story!
I laughed at this, this.
@@dagnabbit6187 The great thing about Open D is that simply putting the capo on the 2nd fret gives you Open E, without the extra neck tension. Similarly, 2nd fret capo in Open G gives you Open A.
I tuned my Alvarez dreadnought for the first time to open D two days ago, and am completely in love. I feel like it's a gift for my songwriting process and voice. The notes create such beautiful harmony and it's so easy to go any direction with subtle chord changes and have it still sound good. Thanks for making this video.
8 years later and im learning more about this tuning than ever before, thank you tom and youtube for reccomending this in 2021!!
Wow, super helpful. Nice simple and general "chords" that can lead to experimentation by us. Most people here on YT try to get too "exact" and don't leave any room for personal choices. Thank you, very well done.
Wonderfully detailed instruction. I appreciate the explanation of triads and suspended chords.
Thank You so much, I have been trying to develop more open d chords. This is just what a needed. I really enjoy open d.
Incredibly helpful...I've been playing for a long time and I've always been a little confused about this tuning but never did the research. Thanks for doing the legwork lol
Thanks a lot. I'm happy to do it.
This video is extremely helpful, well explained and gets to the vital points. Make more please, the best on here to date.
Thanks Keith. Just did one on chords in open D.
man,...I could watch and listen all day!
Man, this is super cool! Thanks for making this video. 👍
Hey Tom, great lessons for me who just starts mucking around with open D tuning!
Thanks , Cheers!
Always enjoyed your teaching, so cordial and humble. thank you for the videos.
cheers~
Thanks so much.
Cool video! These chords are really fun to play around with. Thank you for posting.
Harrison Bergeron My pleasure Harrison.
Wow! what a helpful tutorial! you are such a great teacher and i learnt a ton of new stuff!! I am new to open tunings. you inspired me to get songwriting in this. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Much appreciated!! :)
I'm glad. Thanks so much for watching.
Wow just looked at your channel, really excited to learn the scale modes. I have been wanting to expand my knowledge and I feel like you have much to teach. You really have helped me open my eyes to the guitar much more. I subscribed also.
Harrison Bergeron Cool, thanks for that.
Once again Tom, you have made such a great video, and I was in need and you helped me out. I have been liking this tuning for a few months but needed some fresh chords to help breath some life. Now I am deep breathing thanks to you!!! Mahalo Nui Loa, Mele Kalikimaka!! You are a gift. P.S Thanks brother-in-law! lol.
+Bobby Grimes You are way too kind my friend. Thank you!
I love this video. You are a fantastic teacher. Thank you SO much!
Thanks so much. Thanks for watching.
Oh no, open tunings! I have MGD already. (Multiple Guitar Disorder) Once I start with tunings I end up with way too many gtr's and it leads to a nervous breakdown trying to keep up with all of it. lol.
Great teaching! Thanks. I like the simple theory explanations (regarding sus chords, for example).
+benlogan100 You are welcome. Thank you for watching.
mate awesome videos, just trying open D these days and loving the sound of it, keep up the good work and I have subbed it bdw xD
Thank you!
Thank you Tom. That was was a fun work out. Just picked up a Gretsch G9200 Boxcar Resonator . I keep it in open "D" and can't put it down!
Awesome! I love mine.
Thanks for this. You do a good job explaining what's going on.
This was a great help thank you! I Play a lot of Joni Mitchell who is probably the Queen of open D Tuning, and now I can better figure out what she is doing.
+James Stanton She is one of my faves!
Ha Ha!! I saw that very episode of Johnny Carson with Dolly Parton and I said the exact same thing as you, "how the hell is she gonna play that guitar with those fingernails?"
Merci beaucoup, thank you very much beautiful video this will help me very much open D is my favorite tuning
You are very welcome. Thanks so much for watching.
awesome!!!! thanks for this tom!
That was Awesome!... I've been playing with open tunings! They are lots of Fun! So far i got a song out of it but still in the works!... it just show that you can do a lot with it an not worrying too much about being exact about it!
Thanks for the video!
It just opens more doors!... Thanks!
Thanks for the share Jason. It's means a lot. I'm almost to 800 subscribers. That's kinda cool.
No prob!... I'm learning a lot by these videos!... I'll keep watching!... Thanks again!
Jason Cowboy You are welcome.
With Open D you can play more like a piano and play the most amazing chords with moderate effort impossible in E Tuning
nicely done! thanks for the tips.
You are so welcome.
This is so cool!
thank you! great stuff
thanks! open d minor tips was what I was looking for, but found this and it was very informative.
Megan Little Hmmmm, that would be DADFAD right? Maybe I will.
Tom Strahle yes! that would be great!
Amazing lesson sir ❤️
My preferred way to do as example Gm is to bar the 1st and 2nd with 3rd finger, 1st finger on 3rd string, then here’s the fun part I picked up from “Somewhere over the rainbow” Tommy’s version. Bar the 4th to 6th string with my 2nd finger.now playing all 6 strings and still have pinky finger free
What I like is the continued info without breaking off to bore me with banal banter, you maybe quick but I can rewind back when needed, yep I like your style ! thanks
+Col Auty Haha, thank you sir. I'm sure I've filled the world with my share of banal banter. In fact I know I have. Haha.
Barry Gibb (Bee Gees) writes and plays in open D. Most Bee Gee songs were written that way. He does that minor chord thing but he doesn't use his thumb. I use my thumb.
***** I had no idea. That's crazy.
Me too! Haha. Joni Mitchell also went crazy with tunings when writing.
Hi CraigTube! There are three of the BeeGees, two with acoustic guitars and you can see what chords they are playing. It's really neat how they make such a beautiful symphony with their voices and 2 guitars with the song "Massachusetts" just like you were sitting around a campfire with them. th-cam.com/video/qar-NJ5rjW0/w-d-xo.html It looks like Maurice is playing in regular tuning and Barry in some other kind of tuning, maybe open D as I'm hoping to play this song in open D. What do you think? Is Barry playing in open D in that song? Thanks! I liked it when Andy, just before he died, toured Europe and donated millions to Amnesty International, at least that's the way I remember it.
Thanks Station.
Great lesson ......Thanks Tom
Thank you Karl!
wow !!
this is amazing !!
Very Nice!! I literally clapped ones the video got over. :) Thanks again! so much to explore now...
Rohan Choudhury Haha, because you were glad it was over?
you really know your stuff! thanks a lot
I appreciate that. Thank you.
I love It man!!!! Great Tutorial.
Thank you so much!
thanks for this one. Great help.
Mike Very happy to help.
Thank you very much
tis has been so helpful . thank's for sharing . I also seen Dolly Parton do that
Great video..thank you!
You are welcome!
VERY useful video! You're a man of taste, with that little Stella (isn't it a Stella?) in the background...
In open D (or open E if it suits your voice better) it's very easy to build a complete scale, for most country, blues, rock and pop pieces --->
from string 6 (the big one) to string 1
IM : 0 0 0 0 0 0 (D major)
IIm (0) 2 2 1 2 2 (e minor)
IIIm (0) 4 4 3 4 4 (f# minor)
IVM 5 5 5 5 5 5 (G major)
VM 7 7 7 7 7 7 (A major)
VIm (9)9 9 8 9 9 (b minor)
VIIm dim (11) 10 11 10 10 11 (c#m dim)
Sus 2, sus4, 7th, 7thM chords are so easy to understand and play in open D, that I still wonder today why that way of tuning a guitar is not more teached...
Even more interesting is the fact that we can find at least 3 different and easy fingerings for each chords, along the neck between nut and 12th position! It's very convenient for a solo artist, minimizing you finger moves and letting you concentrate on you singing...
You can mix major and minor chords, slide and finger playing... It works well on electric, reso or acoustic guitar : Open D (or E) is the real swiss army knife for all
Thanks Serge for this useful info. I love it when my subscribers add value and info in the comment section for everyone's benefit. You are appreciated.
When fretting the 2.3.6 chords, I usually leave the two thinnest strings open, it sounds kinda loose though.
For the IIm, IVm and VIm chords it's very convenient to choose between the two possible triads :
for exemple IIm chord (from string 6 to string 1): X221XX or XXX122
IVm chord (from string 6 to string 1): X443XX or XXX344
those inversions bring interesting variations in the voicings (with an old fashioned western swing smell)...
Great Video, Learned lots
Thanks George. Happy Festivus.
It's the 1st and 3rd that defines major and minor so you can indicate with just 2 notes :)
Truth.
Muchas gracias. Nice and interesting lesson!
+Jose agüero De nada!
Месяц уже ищу инфу про open DM
Такое ощущение что кроме как побрынчать по открытым струнам больше не чего нет где конкретные аккорды как можно любую песню перестроить в этот строй????? ((((
Awsome video, now I´ve to explore my guitar, thanks Tom...:)
Conny Ahlgren Thanks Conny.
You can hear Joni Mitchell in all of this : ) A Champion of the open tunings!!
ShelsleySpecial For sure. She's an open tuning beast!
Good stuff Thank You
Thank you!
thanks from argentina! excellent chords
germancortesdelavega You are welcome. Argentina is a beautiful country. Some day I hope to visit.
Wow. You definitely know your stuff.
Hey man, thank you so much for the time and effort. You answered all the equations I had. Do you have any videos on "modes", and how to use them together to transition from bar to bar, I'm not sure if that makes since.. You're just a great teacher. Also anything on slide? Just found you today sorry if you have...
Thanks for watching... many modes videos here...
th-cam.com/play/PL26iCFfeaNUl7ZN92CAjbzZxbya-ECUjS.html
And a series about the lap steel starts here...
th-cam.com/video/1GXT8I8VFLE/w-d-xo.html
Haha. I totally understand. Isn't there a Les Paul the has programmable tuners for quick changing of tunings. It looked like a really heavy apparatus. Probably not feasible for an acoustic though.
when doing a g minor, u can also use your middle finger to bar the top 3 strings.
it would be amazing the same sort of exercise with open G tuning !
very helpful thanks
+Bracken Quinton You are welcome my good sir!
I saw that Dolly Parton performance and noted the same thing.
good lesson! thanks
***** Thanks much. I need to do one on chords in DADGAD.
super awsome!!! saludos desde tijuana mexico,!!!
Fusion de vientos Gracias! I played guitar on the first Nortec Collective record. They are from TJ. Fun music, check it out.
awesome dudde you are part of TJ!!!i like this tunings 4 play with didgeridoo!!!
nice, gracias amigo.
richard bowes De nada hermano!
great video.thanks. i wanted to ask if you have ever played in (low to high) F#-B-C#-F#-A#-C# -- it seems like a mixture of Drop D only tuned down half-step - but ,tuning the top two strings up make for some interesting opportunities for hammering and the like..
+jay wire That's like an open G4 tuning or in this case an open F#. Up a half step that would be GCDGBD. Might be a real cool tuning.
Helpful- thanks : )
+Amanda Weinstein Thanks Amanda! I appreciate you watching.
Yea i watched the video on Open G and now this one...pretty good stuff. Some of it is rocket science to me haha but slowly but surely haha
Thanks Anton. I remember years ago reading Guitar Player magazine and it didn't make sense, but I kept reading and I began to get the "lingo'. Thanks so much for watching!
Tom your tutorial has helped me a lot with a song i'm trying to learn. Mary MacCaslin Dust Devels. I've tuned to open d and have benn trying to figure out the chords she is playing by listening to her but its hard to hear over her voice. Could you send me a video of the chord progression?
I don't do song lesson videos because of copyright issues. Unless I wrote or co-wrote it. But on a cursory listen to Dust, it seems to be in standard tuning. Key of E. Chords E, A, C#m and B.
Open D allows maximum sound with minimum finger acrobatics. It can lull you to sleep while playing.
So true.
Cool
It's very helpful!!! Do you do drop D? I'm stuck with power chords QAQ
That's a great idea. I do do dropped D. Almost like playing in standard but different. Let me see what I can come up with.
Bob Dylan shirt...I like you already.
thanks bud!
You are welcome!
hey I really like ur video`s !! What guitar are u playing?
+victor perks Thank you! 70's Martin D-35
I've acquired a guitar that i wanna mess around with and i'm thinking of starting in an open tuning to make it a little easier. Is this a good idea or should i still start in standard?
Starting in standard will make it easier to play 99% of the songs out there. However in an open tuning it is difficult to hit a bad note.
thank you
Thanks for watching!
Very useful video!!! more importantly the chords you have posted with it...there isnt a way you could group these chords under what they are ....could you? EX: D 000000 ...ive looked everywhere for them they way you have them written out and no luck. I found sites that have open D chords....but these have way more depth to them ..i just wish i knew what i was playing when using your chords
try this:
chordlist.brian-amberg.de/en/guitar/open_d/
You gotta look around and sometimes you only get close, but should give you some ideas, plus additions too.....
Tom ......Just a question you are basically playing your acoustic open D using chord shapes and fingering . At the end of the video you were looking for a slide !...do you use a slide straight on this guitar or have you adjusted it . What I am after is to use both chord work/slide on same guitar with little or no adjustment to it. Also what is your string gauge.
I can do slide and play chords on the same guitar. Generally would use a glass slide if the action is lower as it's easier to have a light touch with glass tan with steel. I do have some instruments that are set up a little higher that I can use metal slides with as well.
you should do a little series of fun chords in open tunings! please oh please!
James Yenesel Haha. Working on one for DADGAD, but dang it's not easy.
Tom Strahle www.alanhorvath.com/dadgad.php
thanks. I hit on some of those.
Awesomes :)
josh bruce Thanks!
Yeah found this vid really helpful :D
Anyone ever mention you look a lot like John Voight [Deliverance] ?
Thanks for the informative lesson.
No, but I get Jeff Goldblum a lot.
@@TomStrahle hmm, can't see that. # Didl-ing-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding # :-)
Ya know sometimes it really doesn't matter what you call it....it really only matters how it sounds...unless ofcourse your a proffessional student ! After all that he just goes on and improvises....something anyone ( even someone who doesn't know the name of a single note) can do !!!!
That chord you play with the E7 fingering is not "technically a D with a sus2 4 and 6". It's a G2 chord. The notes are DBDGAD. D, B, and G make up the G chord. The added A makes it a G2
I saw it on youtube and it looked interesting to say the least. I guess you need to have it installed with new tuners as well to make it work. Or maybee it only comes witht he les paul. IDK. But it's strange to watch it do it;s thing. I wonder if it changes during the playing of a song? Maybee Adrian Legg would love it. Speaking of MGD I went and purchased an used classical guitar in excellent condition this morning. Oh no! I think it's staring at me! lol.
Thanks Tom, wish you were my papa.
Haha. Thanks. That's a high compliment.
I came across this tuning by getting tired of tuning my guitar to open e bc I kept breaking my strings haha.
Austin Lyle Truth.
are the 1st and 2nd string going to be very loose when i tuned it they were shocking loose
Michael Kentner Shouldn't be. Just tuning them down a whole step each. I use 12's and 16's on the top two strings. Elixir "Light" strings. Extra light strings, 10 on top, might be pretty loose but not that bad.
If you dropped your chord shapes down one string (toward the high E) wouldnt you have the same shapes used in an open "G" tuning.
From open D to open G. 000000 = D to 000100 = Dsus, then in open G x00000 = G to x00010 = Gsus. You may be on to something there.
wow.. so cool info for sure.. but if you are a beginner and you are new to "sus" chords I would really really urge you to be careful when listening to this explanation. :-(
Very nice to share with this but a bit worried about what beginners are going to think suspended chords are... :-)
When you talk about finger style. What song is that and /or tabs?
+John Ellsworth It's not a song, it's a way of playing. Like Blackbird by the Beatles or Dust in the Wind by Kansas or fingerstyle artists like Leo Kottke or Tommy Emmanuel.
Can you help me figure out the chords used in The Three Cadillac's song "White Lightening". I'm assuming they're playing in open D and they use a capo at the fifth fret. They do a number of versions. The one I am referring to is the Planet Rock version here on you tube. If so I could send you my email address and you could mail them to me.
+stephen leicester I think much of the verse is 000000 020100 040300 020100
+Tom Strahle Cheers Tom. I'd already figured that much out buddy, there is however one other chord used and that's the one that gives me a problem. It's difficult to see his fingering and whatever I try doesn't seem to sound right.
+stephen leicester OK, so I think you are referring to the pre-breakdown where it goes - Em, C, Em, C try these voicings - for C x20120 and for Em x20020 The "C" chord is really C/E but the bass player can get the C root. Otherwise you could play 555555 for C which is really at the 10th fret. Hope this helps.
How do you play an E7 chord in Open D? A7 and B7 too?
Tom Strahle I'm afraid I'm not hip to that kind of indication. I'm a STONE beginner. Could you explain?
Khalid Horus Makalani One way (of many) would be - E7 - 2 2 2 2 5 2, A7 - 7 7 7 7 10 7, B7 - 9 9 9 9 12 9
What do the numbers signify?
Fret markers?
Khalid Horus Makalani Yes, lowest string to highest.
Id love to hear this on a 12 string
12-string sounds wicked in open D.
checkout ocean-john butler. it’s in open d
P.S. Take care Tom. Bill.
For those who want to tune their guitar in Open D:
th-cam.com/video/4b1Crcem0PE/w-d-xo.html
can you explain the strumming pattern in 000000, 022100, 044300, 055500, 077700, 099800, 0 10 11 10 0 0 and 0 12 12 12 0 0
Those aren't strumming patterns they are chord fingerings. For example 000000 would be all six strings open. 022100 would be open 6th string, 2nd fret 5th string, 2nd fret 4th string, 1st fret 3rd string, open 2nd string and open 1st string.
+Tom Strahle i mean the right hand
+Tom Strahle melody is better with your style
Sorry, I thought you thought the notation was strumming patterns. Basically I'm playing in 6/8 at 11:40. Here's a video I did about 6/8 rhythms - th-cam.com/video/uFfw4LzH70k/w-d-xo.html
theres a different kinds of rhytms but you're mixing them in that tune right ?
Do you think playing on open d is cheating
Still no.
all these open D teachers, non is actually playing a song for us to hear how it sound
I'm thinking about doing an update to my open D lesson. I was planning on emphasizing the writing aspect of the tuning. Thanks for watching!
@@TomStrahle did this ever happen? I found you while searching for a decent 'You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome' lesson. Your lesson was very informative, by the way and opened many doors; thank you so much.
Martin D28?
ValerioMansueti D-35. Hard to tell the difference without looking at the back.
Tom Strahle ok,..thanks and congratulations for your video!
ValerioMansueti Thank you Valerio!
