AN OVERVIEW OF OPEN D TUNING:
I discuss the basics of Open D tuning and go over some chord shapes to get you started.
Changing the tuning of your guitar can provide ideas for new sounds and, ultimately, serve as an inspiration for new songs. Also, tune to open D and use a Capo to explore the open tune shapes in other keys.
I demonstrate two songs that came out of that tuning.
I've included a document with some of the chord shapes (both Google Doc and PDF).

All the chord shapes in this video were created using the Oolimo chord analyzer. Visit:

Thanks for posting. I started exploring open D a few years back and it opened up a new world of sounds on guitar for me. These days, whenever I try a new song one of the first things I do is to say 'I wonder what it sounds like in open D?' Some don't work but with quite a few I find it actually adds to the overall feel of the song, particulary those melodic and slower numbers.

I'll do another video soon on Open G - which also led to a song I'm currently producing. I agree, the open tunings lead to and add a very pleasing melodic element. Thanks for stopping by and for commenting. It is appreciated.

Breaking Bad... Braking bad is that movie about the failing brake system in old Datsun B210s. Now that we've settled that... Say my name.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. I'm glad it was helpful. I keep meaning to do a video on open G tuning as well but I've allowed work and recording to dominate my time.
Well explained with great chord charts👏

Hi @drumweaver. The guitar is a Gibson J45 - spruce top and mahogany back and sides.
