Open D minor is so comfortable. I always hear people talk about the intimidation factor regarding open tunings. Personally I feel completely opposite. Standard tuning just seemed unnatural, awkward and limiting. Before I heard about open tunings I just began adjusting the tuning on my own until I found comfort in the sound blessing my ears.

@johnny2bagz Год назад

I've been playing guitar as a hobby for most of my life and nobody ever taught me about tunings outside of rego standard tuning. I've been listening to Son House and Skip James and now I'm able to play along and I'm able to create way more intuitive/personal sounds on my guitar a lot easier than in standard. TY so much for this tutorial! It did something special for me!

Mark Knopfler is also a big fan of the thumb maintaining bass accompaniment. His finger style second to none. Well worth exploring....

I’ve played various instruments over the years but this video really opened my eyes to what I’ve been missing when jamming/improvising. Open d minor tuning is a thing of beauty, such a variety of good fingerpicking rhythms to be found. Lovely bluesy feel in the low DAD with the open strings

I'm a beginner and this was awesome. I have been trying for years to learn, mainly for songwriting, and this has opened up so many possibilities.

@martinfisher5327 2 года назад

Just lost a whole evening to this.love the sound of this tuning really got into playing this and not a tab in sight which is unheard of for me. Cheers tony

@racoon96 2 года назад

That was such a great lesson! Enjoyed it very much.

Really cool spooky tuning. I like playing early in the morning before the sun is up. D minor tuning is perfect for that. Thanks for more guitar fun.

@astrogallus 2 года назад

I love open D minor tuning. It is the tuning I use most. Thank you for the multiple videos you have made on open D minor tuning. Very useful. I would love to see more info on this tuning, even if it is the saddest of all chords. :-)

@martinezjoshguitar 2 года назад

John Fahey’s song Red Pony is in D minor tuning and it’s really fun to play. You can find it on RU-vid if you type it in.

@ericecklund676 2 года назад

Tony, my 000-18 and D-18 were both tuned to DADGAD, so that was a simple enough fix. Thanks for a really nice intro to this tuning, just right for Halloween!

@BobPerrone 2 года назад

Really enjoyed this episode, thanks. That Mule sounds incredible too

@sbolfing 2 года назад

Loved this episode. When you first started playing it, I kept hearing "Wayfaring Stranger." One of the songs I learned when I first started playing (mid-60s), although I did even know about open tunings until years later! I love the old classic horror films, but I'm going to cheat and give two: Francis Ford Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula" and Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstein" (OK - maybe not horror, but a must watch!)

@Jublie1 2 года назад

Excellent show. I learned a lot and can't wait to try out the D minor tuning. Favorite horror movie..."all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy".

@jelly2927 2 года назад

Carrie! Was always a favorite of mine...classic! Plus I'm a huge Steven King fan. I'm going to costume party this weekend and when the guitars come out (as they always do) I'm surely breaking out the Dm tuning...thanks Tony!!!

@guitarzana688 2 года назад

Open D has become my favorite tuning for my 12 string. I love the jangle and low base for contrast. Looking forward to giving this one a try. Not much a horror fan so my go to movies are Beetle Juice, Practical Magic, & Hocus Pocus.

My favorite horror movie: Hateful Eight where Kurt Russel accidentally smashed an authentic 1870s Martin guitar 😱😱😱

@citizentuck 2 года назад

I wonder if they kept the pieces

@timnewman1172 2 года назад

That was truly horrific...

@Scurtsy1964 2 года назад

That’s not movie but real life horror!

@garymetcalf6998 2 года назад

Why why would they have an 1870’s guitar on the set?

@stephenbrayfield4135 2 года назад

Or was it accidental? I don’t think it’s beyond Tarantino to have orchestrated this for publicity

@toddjohnson9753 2 года назад

I like the weeks when you have something other than the standard guitar tuning. Open D minor is terrific. Favorite horror movie is The Ring.

@vwbeetle72jellybeen 2 года назад

I always go to the classic, "Halloween, " movies and, "Friday the 13th." Ya just can't beat the classics, man! Hey, Billy Strings really pulled some beautiful tone out of that Martin, eh? Great show, Tony, and I'm going to tune my Yahma F-335 down to D Minor tonight and give it a go!

@johnbirkedal1187 2 года назад

Being not a guitar player, a couple years ago I taught myself open d minor in order to set some (someone else's) poetry to music. At that time, my goal was not to look at any tutorial videos for ideas. I ended up writing about 20 songs, from just teaching myself chords and finger picking patterns. I'm still not even sure what chords I found, but if be glad to share.

@jordantaylor1988 Год назад

I just tuned my Jazzmaster to open D minor. It sounds killer!

@alfredbanji4962 2 года назад

😌🤗 awesome 👍

@mintonmiller 2 года назад

My grandson says he wants to play guitar but was getting frustrated with fingering chords. He just does not have the dexterity yet. To keep him from getting frustrated and giving up, I am teaching open D major tuning to him. He can make music and can more easily learn about intervals and scales. Hopefuly he sticks with it and moves beyond open tuning but for now he is getting some basics, making music, and having fun.

@alanthomas8706 2 года назад

Good stuff Tony. Movie: The Omen

@mintonmiller 2 года назад

I just watched a classic horror(?) on hulu yesterday staring Vincent Price. It is a 1973 comedy horror called Theatre Of Blood. It is so much fun, I might watch it again today.

@adamgozenya4215 Год назад

Thanks for this video Tony. Any chance you could post the various d minor scale positions for DADFAD?

@mburtondavis 2 года назад

Easy enough my guitar is still in open D from a couple videos ago so I just have to tune the F# to F. Boom bam biggety!

I keep my Beard round neck resonator in open Dm. I love the darker melodies. Favorite horror movies: Constantine, Midnight Mass

@Jess_Jones 2 года назад

It’s been recommended to me since I play mostly as a thumb strummer to try out an L-oo or a concert body shape. Any insight from you folks?

@Dimentius1 9 месяцев назад

Check out Greg Joy - Ancient Sojourn ( in this tuning, but with capo on a 3 fret, great melody)!!!

@mapledelight 2 года назад

I'm always too lazy to try other tunings apart from drop d or down tuning.... I think I might surprise myself and actual give this one a go. Cheers. Transylvania 2 haha

'The Thing' - Greatest Horror Movie ever ....'Underworld' is gothic sexy & full of horror

@SuzieKew 10 месяцев назад

I absolutely love this tuning. I'm just getting back into guitar after a broken finger, and now I can only play with a slide on that finger, and starting to explore open tunings. Never realised D minor was a 'thing', but this is now my favourite. And I immediately spotted the Metallica-y thing. BUT, I hate Halloween. All that unnecessary wasted plastic. Piles of rotting pumpkins. Fabric wasted on a costume worn for a few hours. And the chemically coloured sugar we feed to our children. What's it all for??

@robertgreen9675 2 года назад

My favorite horror movie is The Shining.

@rorygallagherfanboy4456 2 года назад

I play acoustic guitar from time to time(my brother in law let me borrow his bently acoustic) and I'm usually fine. I was playing a few minutes ago and my shoulder on my strumming arm started to hurt pretty bad. What could I be doing wrong?

It’s the third, of course

@allhavesaidtheirprayers3434 Год назад

Would these formations apply to open C minor? Thank you😀

@timnewman1172 2 года назад

Open D minor sounds very reminicent of "Raven Black Night" by Gov't Mule, although IIRC it is tuned to dropped D...

@marciaewell2661 2 года назад

Night of the Living Dead for sure! I am surprised you could do such a nice video on D minor playing that incredible Mule with all the talk about "spooky" Dm tuning and not mention Skip James. His signature lick is so great, and easy, maybe towards the end in creative part it would have been appropriate with the basic feel of something like, "Hard time Killing Floor Blues". But will give you a pass on it, for now, lol.

@kirbyhumphrey3653 2 года назад

And I have people ask me why do you have so many acoustic guitars? (Only 6 or so). Beats the hell out of tuning retuning, up, down and all around, now....(The shining...)

@mintonmiller 2 года назад

Q: Can you play this? A: Sure I can. I just haven't learned how yet.

@isadorealire5722 2 года назад

I like to put on the movie Cigli for guests, and go to another room and play my guitar. It's not really bad until they want revenge.

Ah, Dminor, the saddest of all keys…

@morokeiboethia6749 Год назад

I inadvertently figured out how to play "Another Day in Paradise" by Phil Collins when I was experimenting with that tuning. Ewan Dobson (canadian guitar champ one year) showed me that tuning. "dad fad"

Could they not have erected a more substantial street sign to memorialise John Prine than that tinnie tiny thing?
