I will be 73 next month and started playing guitar when I was about 16. I would like to think that I am fairly competent but this lesson has just shown me how artists play chords that I couldn't even think about. I have lost many decades without knowing open D tuning and although I have no idea how many, if any decades I have left, they will include this tuning and these chords into much of my playing. I will also share this lesson with my 16 year old granddaughter who has been playing guitar for 2 years now-( I haven't seen MY Ibanez electric for some months now) Her playing blows me away and she is not daunted by anything. if she wants to play Nirvana or Stone Roses, she looks up the tabs or a video and the next thing I know, she can play it! Many thanks for your excellent tutorial and I will look up many others as I have subscribed. Regards from Cheshire, England.
So nice that your granddaughter is also playing and that you share this hobby. How's it been going with Open D for you? I have just started out on it but haven't gotten the hang of it yet
From nottingham england. Keep it up. Im 28 and 12 years into my guitar adventures. Ill try make up for your lost time and practice an extra 10 minutes a day in open D. May peace be upon you my english friend.
Your video made my day.I've been playing guitar for over 50yrs and I'm always trying to push myself to learn something different, I've been playing around with open tunings and I've found it can really unlock your creativity. Your video helped me to understand the fundamentals of putting together open tuning chords to play any song. Thank you very much, you're a really good teacher.
Your lesson in open tunings is so awesome..im 64 and been playin a while,,but fooled around with open tunings ,,but now youve shown me in such an easy way the chords which i couldn't find..god bless you Tom...
The best ever for me .I am 73yrs++++and fluttering (Scottish word) since aged 11yrs and yes I play lots of instruments and love them all but open D and G via your vidios just make the best of my 7 decades.You encapsulate all my forlorn hopes and give me a goal I can yet achieve! Ta again.p.j.
Thank you. I’ve been struggling with open D and feeling limited in what I could do with it but I love the sound so much I kept looking for help. Thank you. Your way of teaching made it all finally make sense finally. In minutes I figured out how to play one of my favorite cover songs in D tuning and the new voicing is so beautiful it’s mind blowing. Thanks again. I’m going to check out your other videos
This is either my first or second anniversary, maybe it's my first, to celebrate my desire learn how to play the instrument(guitar) as a music student and all enlightening stuff. You Tube and you teachers have made it funnnn and exciting and rewarding, and from browsing others' remarks, I think this is definitely the collective seekers sentiment of enjoyment, learning,inspiration, challenge from your learned contributions. Just wanted to applaud and thank you for your good teachings. Like a few of the others I am a little older than most.I'll be 77 in November, have had a stringed instrument since a teenager, but it never occurred to me to take it up seriously, on account of a lack of self confidence. Anyway, much thanks and appreciation for your genuine efforts to bring musical knowledge , skill, and confidence to a lot of happy folks.... Peace.😅
I've been looking for a video on chords in open D for a couple of days. There are a few, but there's a problem with all of them. This is the first one that is really good and shows the strings and frets you should be playing.
very well taught, thank you. I have been playing in open tunings for 30 years and never even thought to transcribe a song into an open tuning that wasn't already written that way. what a great idea!
I wrote a song for my wife in this tuning but didn't know what the tuning was until i found your channel. Thanks! I called it These things I'll remember i posted it to you tube...
Another great video. I've been playing guitar for way more years than I'd like to admit, and just recently got into using open tunings for playing and writing songs. One of your DADGAD videos helped to spark this new slant in my musical life. And now that I've been messing with open D, of course I find another of your informative and easy to follow videos. Thank you again. It's fun to have a newfound musical avenue to pursue. Keep up the great work. Peace.
Hi Tom! So nice of you to enlighten so many! I was fortunate to discover you several years ago. I first discovered open D DADF#AD but being 69 my vocal range is getting less but with more practice I think I can keep it up. I changed to open C with CGCEGC or the same as open D but a whole step down so the same chord shapes and have written about 7 original songs and three covers for my channel with more to come and have used an F, E, and C harmonicas with my songs so far, so this tuning has been a miracle and easier on my arthritic hands. Also working in open tunings for me it's like having a different instrument, quite an experience! I read Joni Mitchell worked in 44 different open tunings! I love your videos, thanks for your magnanimous deed! I've bookmarked your videos too and go back to them you're so talented and informative!
Great lesson, thanks. Open tuning has always baffled me until now, [only been playing 50+years] So many wonderful sharers on the web! One comment/observation, beautiful Taylor guitar but I have noticed when I've had access to these high end [higher end than mine anyway] guitars, if you get too 'fierce' with them, when unplugged, they tend to shut down. I have cheaper. low end guitars that will stand a bit of 'bashing', try a Yamaha F or FG for a better reproduction when not amplified. For so long, I had no access to amplification but performed truly unplugged and noticed this phenomenon, when sitting between several thousand £'s worth of Taylors and both players were really impressed with the sound of my old Yamaha F310 ! It's true: money can't buy you love. Thanks again for the tutorial.
The beauty of Open D is it tuned down and doesn’t stress the neck. Put a capo on second fret to replicate Open E. Dylan did many of the songs on Blood on the Tracks in Open D.
Secrets of open tuning. Thank you. Much appreciated your teaching style and your help. Like another subscriber, this has been something I’ve always wanted to try and get my head around. Cheers.
Thank you for your tutorials, it helps me immensely to watch how you are tuning and chords… been somewhat a struggle for me learning the open and drop down tunings but I’m getting it
Thank you for a greT lesson. I listened and watched you video on 7 bits of advice for older beginners. I'm not exactly a true beginner. I started plying for real when I was a boy of 14. But I had to give it up until much later ln life. Thanks again for th wonderful lesson.Alvin.
Cool man! Great timing, I just found this after tuning to open D for the first time and scratching me old head a lot...although I did figure out some of what you just did. But this is a great help. Thanks so much!!!
I played right with you following the chords you had on the screen. Great job. I'm really going to mess with this open D tuning. Thanks so much. You explained it so good even I could understand it . Thanks again..
Thanks so much for this. I want to learn to play in open D tuning to sing some old Joni Mitchell songs (and to accommodate my now older hands and shoulders) so this is great. I have a 1967 Gibson acoustic.
Tom....loved your video on open D. I would like you to try what I have been doing for years: remove the 4th string, D, and move the 5th string, A, to the 4th string’s position. This leaves you with a tuning of : DAF#AD , a 5 string guitar now, with a nice separation between the bottom two strings that really helps me play alternate thumb picking. Plus, as you’ll discover, it greatly simplifies those chords you just showed us on this video. I believe this would be a great way to start an older student such as myself (74) who is just starting to play. I have been playing since a teenager, but now I just want to sit around and sing the old songs....mostly finger style and easy rhythm. This makes guitar playing easy on the fingers and wrist......and lets those open D sounds ring on forever. Thanks again.....and who knows, could be another follow up video on open D. Russ Stillwell
Hmmmmm, interesting. Many of the Rolling Stone songs has Keith Richards playing guitars strung up with just 5 string in open G. GDGBD. Many of the classics can only be played that way.
Thanks again.......I had never seen anyone else with a 5 string set up this way, and was beginning to think I had invented something......oh well I like it.
Wow cool thanks for that inspiration. *D_AF#AD*. So next time I got some guitar with a broken D-String, will give it a try. So basic scale chords triads will be like this: D 0_0000 em 2_2100, f#m 4_4300 G 5_5500 A ...and so on. (with A and D more or less ringing on top) Is that good like that? Or do ya have some other recommendation for the fingering.
thank you so much! i have been looking for an easier-for-me-to-understand tutorial on open D tuning for forever! also, i love how you strum so hard. i play my dobro the same way because i am committed! haha! 😂
Good lesson. About half of Mumford & Sons songs off their first two albums are in either open D or E for anyone who wants some songs to learn that are native to those tunings.
Trying to work on my own finge rstyle arrangement of 'The Water is Wide'. DADGAD wasn't working for me so I thought that open D would be a good key. Never really played in it too much so this video gives me some good chord structures as my foundation! Thanks!
Hi tom, this is a fantastic video, thank you much for the time and effort. I've been playing guitar for just under 30 years - always loved messing around with open tunings but beyond following tabs for specific songs from the web, I lacked certain knowledge. You just gave me that knowledge!! Great work, thanks again. Tim.
This vid was well worth the watch. I feel like open D makes more sense to me and I can improve more fluidly. Thanks for the key to unlocking open D... (pun intended)
Wow I have been searching all day for a decent guitar tutorial and you are an incredible teacher! Will definitely be checking out the rest of your videos! Thank you so much please keep making videos!
I have a hand injury, open D lets me play using one finger, full Barre chords. Wish I could make chord shapes, but I can still play with this tuning. If I can play with one finger, anyone with full hand dexterity could learn to play very quickly.
And if you have a tune in minor key F is right there at the 3rd fret of the 4th string. I only play this tuning these days and you can play pop, classical, jazz, blues, anything. You can transcribe onto tab.
This is super, I had to go away for a few days so I could hit the chord shapes with reasonable confidence and accuracy, then come back and follow what Tom is teaching, and it is brill. Thank you very much indeed
This is a fantastic video - thank you so much, Tom! I've had so much fun with this tuning since you explained everything so clearly. You are a great teacher with a really easy style. I'm in my 60s and using open D [and open E with a capo] has made playing easy again!
Do you know the cords in open D to the Bee Gees how can you mend a broken heart? It would be great if you could do our entire video on the Bee Gees Barry Gibb open DTuning songs which was his favorite open TuneIn
very interesting video I have been interested in open tunings for a long time and have been a bit intimidated by it. but it looks to me that this would work even well with electric guitar as I'm not much of a lead player more rhythm. looking forward to more videos like this.
Hello Tom. Thank you so much for this. Great way of adding real interest and depth to tunes either solo or playing with mates, particularly finger-style although your strumming ideas are fun too. Your teaching style, enthusiasm and knowledge are amongst the very best on the tube. I highly recommend your open G tuning ideas and open d shapes videos too. How about a video on open fingerstyle ideas and melody possibilites?
haha, thanks Mark. I use to sing a lot. Led worship at several churches every weekend in the 90's and early 2000's. But I am way out of shape right now.
I am looking at the Alvarez Yairi Baritone Guitar. How would a baritone guitar be best used when playing in a small band - like a Praise band at a church worship service?
One great thing is that you could capo at the 5th to get a standard tuning making it as easy to lower the key with a capo as it is to raise the key with a capo on a standard guitar. Bob Taylor of Taylor guitars released two different baritones, one normal and one with octave 3rd and 4th strings, so a total of 8 strings to give it a brighter sound. Bob intended to have it used for worship situations. He had me play it at NAMM years ago and it sounded pretty cool. www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/acoustic/326e-baritone-8-ltd-0

Yeah..... This open chord playing is really cool. Thanks Tom.
Thank you Tom....I love this style because it opens up your ability to play many songs so freely and with a big sound!
this is smiple and flexible!! totally usuable.thank you!
I played right with you following the chords you had on the screen. Great job. I'm really going to mess with this open D tuning. Thanks so much. You explained it so good even I could understand it . Thanks again..
I've watched this video several times & as a beginning player it's a lot of fun.
How do you feel now that you’re two years in...?
Thanks so much for this. I want to learn to play in open D tuning to sing some old Joni Mitchell songs (and to accommodate my now older hands and shoulders) so this is great. I have a 1967 Gibson acoustic.

Glad you demonstrated All My Loving! That’s the song that made me a music fan because of The Ed Sullivan Show!
Good lesson. About half of Mumford & Sons songs off their first two albums are in either open D or E for anyone who wants some songs to learn that are native to those tunings.
I didn't know that. I generally like Mumford and some of the sons.
Just found your channel. Many years later. Looks interesting and helpful. Thanks.
thanks alot Tom. Enjoying my new way of musical expression

Been jamming out for the last half hour, playing The World I Know by Collective Soul using this technique. Thanks!
I loved the love yourself part it was awesome!!
Terrific information! Well done. Thank You.
Excellent video! Could you make a video of Everly Brother songs using open tuning? i understand they used open tuning a lot. Many thanks!
Thanks Tom. I've been playing since 1981 and thanks to you, I've finally figured out how to play Heartsong by Gordon Giltrap.
Awesome. I don't know that song, but I'll have to check it out.
🇬🇧77 year old beginner says thank you verily my friend, you are an awesome teacher !!!
Absolutely. Once you find the starting note a lot of things fall into place very easily. I have a list of hundreds of songs I can play this way.
Very cool. It's fun and different sounding.
Excellent lesson. I just started on slide using open d. This lesson is just what I need. Thank you!

Hi Tom, many thanks to your help ! Greetings from Linz/austria
We loved Vienna Austria when we visited in 2007. Beautiful country full of wonderful people.

Excellent teacher Tom
thank you...very helpful as I was getting stuck in a rut with standard tuning
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Great inspiring video!
What the...amazing. I'm trying this. Thank you.
Very nice big brother. Brother how we we arrange fingerstyle in open tunings, nxt lesson brother.
Just discovered open d. lots of playing to do
I can see you feel it, the live you have for the guitar so you know it very well. 👏👏 loves this lesson !
Dude, you opened up my world.Thanks so much!!!
That's awesome!
Precisely explained and easy to follow - great video!
This is a fantastic video - thank you so much, Tom! I've had so much fun with this tuning since you explained everything so clearly. You are a great teacher with a really easy style. I'm in my 60s and using open D [and open E with a capo] has made playing easy again!
You can move it..."a-chordingly" 😂
I guess I can't help myself. I am a dad you know. Haha, great catch.
"Bass"ically
Oh god, groans....
Pushing P😭😭
🤣🤣🤣
Well Done. Thank You Tom.
Thanks Tom, this is very useful. You are a great teacher
Brilliant lesson. Thanks for your time and skill.
Thank you so much.. Learning new chords in open d chord❤️
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching!
superbe video bien expliquer bravo et merci pour le partage.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙂
That was very inspirational for a 68 year old that needed YOU for a shout. ( to get the lead out ) 😁😎
Unbelievable! There's more to it than it seems!
This is very interesting. Thanks can't wait to try it.
this lesson is so useful, awesome!
I’m so glad. Thanks for watching.
Do you know the cords in open D to the Bee Gees how can you mend a broken heart? It would be great if you could do our entire video on the Bee Gees Barry Gibb open DTuning songs which was his favorite open TuneIn
Tom, very enjoyable and melodic
Thank you so much for this video! It's perfectly explained
very interesting video I have been interested in open tunings for a long time and have been a bit intimidated by it. but it looks to me that this would work even well with electric guitar as I'm not much of a lead player more rhythm. looking forward to more videos like this.
Exactly.
Wow - great tutorial on open D. Thanks!
Thank you so much. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this video. I look forward to trying this out.
Thanks Corley!
Thank you very much, Tom a great lesson.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent. Thx and best regards from Brazil
Thank you and my best to you there!
Beautifully done, Tom. 🙏
Loved this video. Thanks for producing such great content.
Hello Tom.
Thank you so much for this. Great way of adding real interest and depth to tunes either solo or playing with mates, particularly finger-style although your strumming ideas are fun too.
Your teaching style, enthusiasm and knowledge are amongst the very best on the tube.
I highly recommend your open G tuning ideas and open d shapes videos too.
How about a video on open fingerstyle ideas and melody possibilites?
Thanks so much Daniel. This means a lot to me. Let me think about that fingerstyle lesson idea.
Love...love...love this. I'm going to work on this right now 👍
Awesome. Have fun and thanks for watching!
Cannot see your fingers or frets you press @ 3:33---have u got TAB?
Great demo and lesson! Fun variety of songs, thanks for sharing! You may as well sing more...
haha, thanks Mark. I use to sing a lot. Led worship at several churches every weekend in the 90's and early 2000's. But I am way out of shape right now.
Great video Tom, thanks a lot, thought provoking
Really cool lesson for open d tuning... we left a sub for you 😀
