Looking into how to tune the guitar to Open E and how the tuning offers advantages for playing the guitar, such as making bar chords easier & providing unique chord shapes.
"Something in the Air" by Thunderclap Newman is a great song for beginners in open E tuning, with simple chords and a catchy strumming pattern.
"Big Yellow Taxi" by Joni Mitchell introduces barre chords in open E tuning, allowing beginners to practice this technique as it just uses 1 finger!
"Can't Always Get What You Want" by The Rolling Stones uses capo, giving players the opportunity to experiment with different sounds but the shapes are all the same
"Jumpin' Jack Flash" by The Rolling Stones is a great intermediate challenge as the barring still uses just 1 finger for the chords but the other fingers are needed for quite big stretches
"Gimme Shelter" by The Rolling Stones is an awesome way to end this video as it really showcases open E tuning & it's distinct sound!

I tuned one of my guitars to Open E to play "Memo from Turner" and just when I'm looking for more songs in that tuning, I come across your video! Awesome! Many thanks!

First song that came to my mind was "She Talks To Angels" by The Black Crowes.

Cool stuff Andy, I’ll have to give open E a go…I’m only a year and a half into my guitar journey at age 67 and you have been instrumental (pun intended) to that journey. Thanks so much!

I think i read somewhere, Joni had suffered Polio as a child and had dexterity problems. So this was the easiest way to play her chords. Pretty genius.

Lost in the Supermarket by The Clash is played (by Mick Jones, at least) in open E, the only time the band ever used an alternate tuning.

Very cool lesson ,on the jumping Jack flash The first two cords should have the B string always being open use the index and middle finger for 345 and 6 keep the B 0:01 open and ring finger on the E string keep the ring finger on the Estring for the first strum of the second cord, then bring everything down one step (no disrespect I seen this on another video from another gentleman a long time ago) rock on

Started out difficult and just got more difficult, why do folks act like beginners are able to play all the chords like butter and change without problem? I swear to god I’m going to start making videos for the folks that are learning! Lmao It’s like there is a tiny pool of experienced guitarists thinking that everyone can learn anything in 10 min! Even when just starting!! Lmao it’s silly if ya think about it! 🤦🤦🤦🤦👍🏻😂
