Ive played off and on for 20+ years. I just recently found out about open e. My guitar now stays in that tuning, and this video helped me tremendously with more material to work on. Thanks!
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 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!
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.
I used to think open tuning was unnecessary. Then I tried it. Now I’m hooked and have 7 different guitars all in a different tuning plus a baritone acoustic. And if that’s not enough, I started playing keyboard too. All this at 75. Who says an old dog can’t learn.
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
I've been learning precession stuff, and I've seen a lot with open D. I'm working on technique and totally appreciative of your videos. I'm definitely going to get into this soon
In Hawaii, we call this "Ki Ho'alu" or "slack-key" in English. We've been using this technique of tuning for generations. It is believed that it came from the fact that Spanish cowboys left their guitars here but we didn't know how to tune them. Needless to say, there are many different styles of slack-key. Personally, I use this E tuning, 2 types of G tunings (1 major, 1 minor) as well as standard tuning. Hawaiian style playing is usually a finger picking technique, where 1 guitar can play a bass line along with the melody line at the same time. Check out Ledward Kaapana, Cyril Pahinui and Peter Moon for best examples of Ki Ho'alu. Great video, by the way!
I'm wondering why you didn't cover ALL of the changes in the song: Something in the Air"... it's far mor complex... (not to mention an amazing piano solo)...
@@lucky-il5kjYou didn’t see this video four months ago, which he corrected. You also left out another definition of “ entitled “, 2. give (something, especially a text or work of art) a particular title. Now don’t you feel like an ass.
@@raysparks3161 I've got a couple of guitars tuned permanently to open D. I did think about the capo at the second fret, but it doesn't seem the same to me.
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! 🤦🤦🤦🤦👍🏻😂
