This is awesome. Thank you!

I dont have a single guitar in my house thats in standard. I did an entire album in open d and open c, just playing with two fingers on the top two strings. Its great for singer/songwriter stuff.

Outstanding lesson! Thanks and Cheers, Malcolm

Very helpful for beginners, thank you so much🙏🏼🤗

I actually bought a Dobro to play around with tunings. Best ear training device ever! The sound of slide guitar is really cool. Finding scales in other keys while in another tuning also a fun challenge. Thanks for posting

Excellent lesson! Lots to learn here. I hope to use some of these ideas in my teaching. Will give a shout-out of course. Thank you

Just plain brilliant - thanks!

Hey Sean, probably your best lesson yet, for me, really an eye opener, thanks for sharing ! ❤

Open D is great for many reasons already stated but it is less stress on your neck if you want to play in Open E….. Just Capo 2 and you’re in Open E.

Pro tip!

Thanks Sean...that's a great to look at it!!

@SeanDaniel I've played guitar for decades (campfires, family time & in a Southern Gospel groups, etc). But several years ago, a car wreck caused genuine nerve damage & hand weakness. I am trying D/E TUNING to build hand strength (Barre chords) & compensate for lower dexterity. ALSO...people receiving radiation & chemo develop serious nerve pain. D/E tuning lets pickers try lap/slide guitar playing. Thought you may find it relevant...(or even marketable.)

Sean, I love your Taylor 815ce! Great tone and just beautiful.

816ce. Typo!

This is one of the main tunings used in Brazilian country guitars (viola caipira), except for the lower D since the viola caipira has only five courses of metal strings. That means if you tune your guitar to open D, you just need to learn the typical strumming patterns of Brazilian country music (música caipira) and you're ready to go. You can directly read tablatures for viola caipira if you just ignore the lower string exists.

Tronical Tuners. This enables me to quickly switch from Standard tuning, to open d, open g, drop d and any tuning. The preprogrammed ones that come with it are 'close' but not close enough. It has the ability for you to create your own custom tuning, Use a tuner, get it dialed in then save it. With the push of a button, it's back to that saved tuning. I only have three guitars, and I've installed Tronical on all of them.

thank you! this video has been rlly helpful :)

This is a very good and informative video. Bit late but I am just getting back to playing.

Thanks brother. Mucho helpful

Great, as always!

Great lesson Sean. D minor tuning is really sweet too. You just play up a 1/2 fret on the "F" string for the major chords for pretty easy fingering.

Great course Sean, also that Taylor sounds great, good guitar for teaching, notes ring true, chords are crisp and full.

Bro what you said about beginners mindset was well said.

thank you!

Very cool always wanted to try open tuning n u have opened my eyes n ears to explore this Thanks

HI Sean what a great discovery for me today. Thank you. The problem with progressing as a guitarist is that Life often gets in the way to a seriously good practise routine. Any suggestions for getting on top of this?

Thanks for the lesson… love the sound of open tunings, but now i have a better idea how to use them

Thank you for the excellent guitar knowledge! :)

I have been using this open D for 20 years. Thanks for reminding others! It really opens your mind better for creating new chords.

Put a capo on the second fret and play Little Martha ....then pop a brewski and don’t worry about ..majors..minors ..flats ..or ..sharps..etc. 😎🎸

Great Lesson, Sean! Thanks!!!!

This seems to be a repeat from earlier version. Are you scripting yourself. Open tuning on a 612 oh shame, but sounds so good. So the pent shapes are adjusted to string tuning, ?

A fun chord in this tuning is 020040

That new Taylor is a lovely guitar! (I know everyone else has already said so, but I think it bears saying again. Some added loving care went into that one, I reckon.)

@@Jfre2 If you're consistent and consider something like Ferrari (or even just an SUV with the frontal area of a truck) to be ridiculous and over-priced (and most cars cost more then $4000, so this can be stretched even more), then yes, maybe, given the absurdity of luxuries. However, if it's just this luxury that gets the "ridiculous" tag, I'd have to ask why? I mean if I were to buy a stupidly big house, people might even talk all sorts of nonsense about what an "investment" it is (only where the rules are constructed to make such a house into an "investment"). It sounds better than all Sean's other guitars; and he's got some really lovely guitars, so that's no small thing. For someone for whom beautiful sound is of more value than beautiful metallic paint and beautifully road-dominating shape it would be worth paying to have that sound. (And for someone who doesn't/ doesn't hear it - and it's OK if it's an illusion - but it's not - ... er ... OK losing it now) ... It can be worth that kind of money. Not to someone like me, but if a guitarist who plays a lot had the cash to spare, it'd be worth it. (If I had that amount disposable - with maybe the choice between putting the difference into more car vs more guitar, I reckon I'd go with the guitar. I could just say a real truck is one you can spray clean with a garden hose.) It's all dependent on values, once affordability is in place.

@@Jfre2 New strings definitely make a big difference, so I suppose the direct comparison only counts when that aspect is evened out. I also get the feeling that certainly with collectible guitars, people pass the point where they're no longer really paying for the sound. Still, right now that Taylor sounds great to me. :-)

@@Jfre2 I disagree that it doesn’t sound and play better than a cheaper guitar. Just not 2-3 grand better. And I would argue that a pro player would be well advised not to bring such a nice guitar to a gig...especially if it’s just going through a pickup/Pa anyway

Yeah i definitely agree with you on a lot of this. Dollar for dollar I think the 214 or 314 win. I’ll definitely say the 816 is ‘better’ than a 314, but it’s definitely not TWICE as good in my opinion. A lot of people might think it’s worth the price for something 30% ‘better’. But I also believe that in a lot of ways, once you get over a certain threshold of quality, ‘better’ is more of just what your taste is.

​@@seandaniel23 Your answer shows that you aren't a puppet of those sent items to you by sponsors. You generally get pretty good items sent to you and all would fit into if one so incline to own anyway. You presentations are soft "sell" and fit with here it is these are the things I see as working for me or someone else if they feel the match is there. This makes your product presentation fun and leaves it at that. This is why your sponsors like you. Most sponsors don't want a pusher they want a user or at least a fair presenter. If you look at other people presenting items like ear buds they do the pro and cons pretty fairly. Most manufactures that say in business that are honest know the pros and cons of their product going out the production door. Being real and survival oriented that in today's market that if their product has problems it will be all over the internet pretty quickly, before the internet those lower quality products had a lead time of multiple months before the door was slammed on them, not any longer. Most products have pros and cons few don't and yet all those products are brought by people who find the value in one or another to fit their needs category. Needs are personal and differ widely between people so no accounting for them except by the person feels their need. Its impossible to make everyone happy except when you give a great lesson as example today. Thanks!

Sean, I have experimented with Open D a little bit, but never found it very useful because it seemed like you were stuck in the key of D. Am I missing something?

Phew! I don't think I could have coped not knowing what the intro joke was! Definitely gonna try this tuning out sometime, thanks! :)

This was all great, but my question is this: is that black nail painted or did someone smash it?

with your fancy new geeetar.

I am on my way! DADF#AD Thanks

My first time trying non-standard tuning and it's fukking fun. I'm 55, been strumming for 30 years, but just that. Strumming. I'm still an inter player. But I have to ask....we're you pissed in this clip, mate? 😂 OK if you were. Rock n Roll!

Hear me out though...what about open G? Like if you can play banjo then playing open G tuning will be not much different

Good video

What is your guitar?

Having a good finger style is important in many things in life.

Grouper is a great musician who plays in open D a lot

Keep nurturing the creative, the last guitar innovator of significance in my opinion was Hendrix. I knew his dad but never met Jim, the 70,s was a long time ago but Al, had a smile that stays with you. My biggest problem is sticking to any one style long enough to get good at it, I love them all.

Bro can u give me some chord chart for open d tuning

Great lesson, thank you! But my wife is pissed I need another guitar

Drop D, Open D, DADGAD, all have their applications. Another approach is drop the whole standard tuning down a whole step, a la Mick Mars.

i like this one, two .. get it Two .. Sean did ya Get it ? :D

All the chords shapes are EXACTLY the same, in open D or open E ! the only difference is the pitch (1 tone more, or less). Anything you learn in open D will work for open E...

Hey something seems a little different than a few hours ago.... Hahaha, hope all is well, take it easy.

Wouldn't it be more practical to tune to Dm? Barre the minors and sharp the 3rd for major. Easier than trying to flatten a note behind the barre.
