Looking into how to tune the guitar to Open E and how the tuning offers advantages for playing the guitar, such as making bar chords easier & providing unique chord shapes.
"Something in the Air" by Thunderclap Newman is a great song for beginners in open E tuning, with simple chords and a catchy strumming pattern.
"Big Yellow Taxi" by Joni Mitchell introduces barre chords in open E tuning, allowing beginners to practice this technique as it just uses 1 finger!
"Can't Always Get What You Want" by The Rolling Stones uses capo, giving players the opportunity to experiment with different sounds but the shapes are all the same
"Jumpin' Jack Flash" by The Rolling Stones is a great intermediate challenge as the barring still uses just 1 finger for the chords but the other fingers are needed for quite big stretches
"Gimme Shelter" by The Rolling Stones is an awesome way to end this video as it really showcases open E tuning & it's distinct sound!

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.

That’s interesting.❤️
First song that came to my mind was "She Talks To Angels" by The Black Crowes.
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!

No, it’s def in open E; not G.
Acoustic guitars make every song sound so much better, beautiful!!
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!
Lost in the Supermarket by The Clash is played (by Mick Jones, at least) in open E, the only time the band ever used an alternate tuning.
Great acoustic for Gimme Shelter. Dylan's Blood on the Tracks has a lot of Open E..
It’s fun to enjoy open tuning. So many more songs to play and sing!
Awesome stuff ,explained and shown really well Andy . Cheers
Keith Richards really is a genius..

Ry Cooder taught him open G tuning, it revitalized his career.
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
Well Done. Subbed. .... Cant belive you didn't do "She Talks to Angels" ... but the 60's song is adorable.
I'll have to wait a little while on this Andy, you're a genius though, thank you
Thanks Andy. Can we tune to open D, then capo on fret 2? Less tension on strings
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
What a talent well done
Andy - thankyou. I love your plectrum technique (great control). Have you a video where you showcase your right hand? Thank you 👍
Excellent. Just found your channel
That first song sounds alot like "Melissa" by Allman Brothers Band.

Hi Andy ….I’ve started playing guitar since January, your videos are brilliant…would you do Neil youngs harvest moon ?
Something in the air is so melodic and romantic on an acoustic guitar
So many choose open G Duane Allman Derek Trucks and Neil Young and David Crosby used open D.

It's a Victory Sheriff 22, a UK made plexi style amp, and I love it 🔥
There is no song entitled “ Don’t it always Seem to Go “, that’s the refrain from “ Big Yellow Taxi “.

Teach in Open D? Afraid of string break in Open E
2:12 2:16 over do it you break your strings
Better for your guitar to tune down to open D and then capo 2
Nice tone! But why would anyone do it? Radiohead?
Just started the video . If there’s not a Bob Dylan song in this I’ll be fuming

@@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! 🤦🤦🤦🤦👍🏻😂
I think my strings will snap!
You're gonna break strings in that tuning

How? I would imagine tuning up would stress the strings more to break, but this is tuned down, wouldn't the strings be more resilient?

Keith Richards removes the low E string and then tunes to open G, not E. The techniques are pretty much the same as you showed.
