Open Tuning made EASY

The fastest way to play guitar is with open tuning. You don't need to learn chords or theory. You only need to use 1 finger, 2 ears, and YOUR heart.

In this video I break down the basics of open tuning and how you can use it to immediately improve your guitar playing. Basic melodies can be turned into beautiful acoustic pieces without thought. It's awesome. It's my favourite thing I've recently started doing on guitar and I think anyone can have a lot of fun with it. Whether you're a beginner or have been playing for years, it's a great tool to have.

The world of alternate tunings can be pretty daunting, but it's actually much easier to start using than you might think.

Thanks for watching and enjoy :)

Asking for a future video if you want to be featured: What's the reason you want/wanted to learn guitar??

Thanks for watching guys, see you next Saturday

Seems like too much work. Why would I spend 10 minutes tuning my guitar to open tuning when I can just learn the same melody in the span of 8 weeks.

[TrevorDaniel]

legit never bothered learning standard - my friends thought i was a genius for learning in a week. still haven’t told them i can just pick a fret and go lol

[Mynoah]

Yes, this video. This is what guitar players need to watch. Any level guitarist

I remembered watching your video on memorizing the fretboard and so I went back to it and saw you uploaded again! Missed these videos, hope you're doing well.

great video on it! For me, i tend to avoid open tuning bc I dont wanna bother relearning the notes on the fretboard when i feel like doing little nuances up high but it doesnt take any time at all to sound good with open tuning. If you feel comfortable sliding, you will need 2 fingers to play each chord (the root on the E string and the 10th on the G string)

Very cool video and well explained, thank you!
I like Open D minor. Easy to do both major and minor chords.

DAmn mate, you're quality content really. At first glance, seems like jokey satire but is really really helpful on the second :)

[uzuchiha]

I’m not even trying to learn how to play, your videos are just fun to watch

[pitchyq]

Wow I've been playing guitar for years and have never heard of this. Might give it a try one day, thanks c:

[koapebbles]

Then gif bro I needed this, I’ve been putting off how to tune for so long

[coferblend]

1:42 how do you find the right key for other tunings? like for example d# f# c# f# a# c#

is there a website i could get that chart and customize the tunings?

[JustSomePenguin]

I learn more in 5 minutes with your videos then I do during 6 months of study

[CastlesForEyes]

I've tried learning guitar a few times, but just can't get into it. Could this be the gateway I need, or should I just keep trying with the standard tuning?

[Future_Doggo]

Basically, how to play any Devin Townsend song, lol.

You can't Tune a fish, but you can open tuna cans

[denglish]

Open tunings eh? Have you been listening to singer songwriter indie or Midwest emo?

[RijaMo]

Ah shit I don't get it. So essentially, you're changing the sound of guitar compared to the standard one?

[atharvajajoo]

why tune the guitar when you idk im lazy
