LOL

All your sounds are music bro, music is subjective

When your in a rut, bust a nut.

This should be taught in school. Ruts are part of life. Musically, I agree %100 with change. Especially when you get stuck or hit a “rut”.

@@farukleonaltinsoy9151 I think what you're saying is taste in music is subjective? If sound intentionally moves up and down in pitch to a regulated tempo, that is objectively music whether someone likes what's playing or not. Even what I do technically counts 🤣

Alexander Rosenbaum comes to mind.

The closely related D G D G B E is used occasionally used in the Classical Guitar repertoire, particularly in transcriptions of Spanish piano pieces. It's another beautiful tuning.

What songs or pieces would you recommend in this style?

What songs or pieces would you recommend in this style?

@@bernalm3067 Not sure if your comment was directed to me or not. If it was, I would recommend learning "La Maja De Goya" by Enrique Granados. Listen to Segovia to hear how this fantastic piece should be played.

A slight tweak is to make it DADAAD which works phenomenally with any drone instrument in D or A.

@@andreasfrom582 For sure. DADAAD mirrors other conceptual open-fifth tunings like ones that Robbie Basho has used before. Bb-F-Bb-F-Bb-F is a really fun tuning to play with, if you can find an acoustic that can handle that level of detuning!

Devin Townsend got me into open B and when I went back to standard tuning, my writing got less creative. Hopefully my next guitar, I'll be going back to open B.

Love DADGAD!

@@felinekaiju4517 I'm currently learning a song in open B! Sam Wong Hotel by Sun Kil Moon (Mark Kozelek incidentally is the one who got me into DADGAD, too)

😂

funny you should say dat . i believe Gregory's Come&Go Blues is in Open G; easy to play...Just noticed someone posted a version 7 yrs. ago in DGDGAD.

If your name was Bob, would they think differently?

Wait why would they hate jamming with you for a tuning?

I saw it.

I saw it too, felt it even more

Check out John Fahey and Leo,Kottke. Both are acoustic but that may be a good way to,get out of a rut.

Any violist can tell you...what is THE TRUTH? C IS ON THE MIDDLE LINE!

Muddy called it “Spanish tuning.” But he also played slide tuned to standard pitch. The man knew his business.

Which is odd, considering his previous band mate Brian Jones played in open tunings (see I Can’t Be Satisfied from 1965 where Jones plays in open G)... Keef’s revisionism does him no favours.

@@larrypower8659 Warren does it too, sez then he doesn't have to switch gtrs or re-tune.

I totally agree about Johnny Winter....and Edgar ain't half bad either :-)

Indeed, just recorded a song on Open-C

Me too lol

I play that one in open E.

Look at Keith

Yeah open E always sounded more like country rock to me, but Open G is crazy, it can sound bluegrass, country, swampy blues, and even metal

@@malaquiasalfaro81 Open E sounds country? I've never felt that way. Duane was all open E.

@@67goldtops Duane Allman? He sounds like Southern Rock and therefore strongly country influenced lol, if that's who you were referring to. Either way, the Allman brothers do not sound swampy at all

@@malaquiasalfaro81 Swampy? Who said anything about swampy? I responded to YOUR comment that Open E sounded like "country rock." Duane Allman made his living playing bottleneck in Open E. So Does Derek Trucks. Neither of those guys sound "country." And your Southern Rock. moniker for the Allman Bros is grossly incompetent. They hated that label despite spawning many bands who used it. The Allman Bros were a Progressive Blues band, as Greg always said. They had far more in common with Mingus than anything "southern." That you think "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed" sounds "country" is just elite level comedy. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you've never experienced much of Duane's playing, let alone that of Mingus.

@@67goldtops well I would definitely agree that the Allman Brothers could be much better classified as progressive Blues. And yes I think I misread my previous comment and blurred it into yours (I’m at work haha) Still I would say still say the Allman Brothers doesn’t sound particularly bluesy, even with the Open E Tuning. This is similar to how Hard Rock like Led Zeppelin and Cream draw heavily from the Blues but the majority of their work pulls in such a different direction, it no longer resembles the 1950s Electric Blues and early 1960s soul on which they had originally based their sound. I still stand by the term country however, as the term itself is a gross oversimplification of rural American music. The earliest Country records that were not old-time music were literally called Hillbilly Blues, an apt description. So Country music by the late 20s and onward would continue to embrace the Blues and other popular black music like Swing in different quantities over the following decades. To my point, Country Music has built itself on embracing the Blues tradition, but often times without the same cultural experiences that Bluesmen faced, and it produced a similar sounding but distinct sound. Country Boogie vs Jump Blues, Honky-Tonk vs late 40s and 50s R&B etc…. So, because of the progressive nature of many of the hippie-psychedelic-age bands, their blues influenced music resembles the blues less and less, just like Country music. That is why I said Open E sounds more “country” because it IS based on Blues, but has more or less appropriated certain tunings, keys and motifs to the point that it is common for folks to hear a certain lick and think it is, “Country.” Hope I was able to explain more clearly, but yeah I agree a lot with what you said, just disagreeing to what degree I find many late 60s early 70s bands to be ‘bluesy.’

I always remember it because the 3 inner strings make a G chord and tune the other 3 strings accordingly.

Kevin Davis ... Me too. Just now getting the hang of it. Keep trying....

technically it was in open F# ..

In 1979 I attended a Doobies concert and tripped out for a song called, Clear as the Driven Snow. The fingering looked simple so I went home to try to play it. Years later, i found out it was in modal C. That opened the world of open tunings to me.

Ahhh... the great Johnny Marr, so so good

hahaha

Yes it is!

Also that’s the way, from Led Zep III :)

Traveling Riverside Blues, In My Time Of Dying

I came to alternate tunings via The Doobie Brothers as I'm crazy about their songs. I wish I could say I learned directly from the old delta bluesmen or even the Brits. But it was the Doobs for me. That being said, I love playing She Talks to Angels.

Yes, tune that flathead up high and let your bad bone slide on it!

You must to check your Carry and filll un the buy guaps. Is free but info details must nedeed.

Oia o cara ensinando cultura estrangeira. Rachei no big onion kkkk.

Adorooooooo viola caipira !! E cavaquinho também 🙏🙌 I wish our two countries could mail things back-and-forth without problems and enormous cost 😢 I don’t know if the issue is with Correiros ou customs at the USA but, the struggle is real. I telephoned staff at Mercado Livre because I wanted to buy a zabumba, but the lady in brasil said “não podemos mandar pra fora do país.” I asked her why and she just said: “não se. Mas não podemos.” I love Brazilian music so so so much though 🇺🇸↔️🇧🇷

Also there's Russian tuning ( 7 strings, dbgDBGD). A whole new world to explore.
