The Easiest Way to Understand Open Tunings 

That's neat!

Yeah this guy knows what he's talking about he's the best and there will never be anyone any better

Senior citizen here also, and with multiple sclerosis...let's just say my vibrato technique is somewhat unique. Peace.

@Rayden Yousef yup, I have been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself =)

One MAJOR reason for different open tunings is so you can Sing in your best range. I can't sing Mercury Blues if i tune to Open E or Open G , but I can sing it better if i move up to Open A . Songs in E are very hard to sing , unless you are John Fogerty . Thats why Metalica tunes down to E flat to sing "Turn the Page"

I’ll run DADGAD on C 😂 The gt-1 has a super clean pitch shifter now too so I’ll do DADGADb And drop it another step or two with the gt-1 or any other clean pitch shifter. (Or up for that matter!) Edit: DADGADb also for ease on neck and my hands

Yeah, changing the tuning also changes the string tension, which if you do that enough it can screw up a lot of things on your guitar

I am lucky enough that I have many guitars that I set different tunings on different guitar and leave them. This is due to that I have a recording studio. Another way to go is to pick up a pedal that allows you to stay in standard tuning but allows you to get alternate tuning such as DigiTech pedals

Or I might try this as an Open F - FACFAF

​@@davidwittie4177 From standard EADGBE, for open F better try F A C A C F (from low to high), because then you have 2 root notes, 2 major thirds, and 2 major fifths on the same fret. Then, when you move that pattern across all frets, you have 2 roots, 2 thirds and 2 fifths on any fret, for any fretted chord. Plus, you have two chord duplicates on the same fret: one on three lower strings, and one on three higher strings. So you can slide on all 6 strings, or on top three, or on lower three, your choice. And if your guitar top is tap-tuned to F, you use this tuning to play just about everything. But if you want open G tuning, then forget the lower string, take it out and tune remaining 5 strings to G D G B D.

To hide the lack hair on the top, where the shame lives.
