Guitar Lessons - Blues Guitar - Open D and Open G Tuning

Course details

Playing guitar in open D opens interesting possibilities. For example, it isn';t necessary to hold down the bass E string when playing a D chord - a deeper bass gives the guitar a low down, bluesy feel but also lends itself to ragtime picking. The acoustic guitar lessons in this course explains how to tune down to open D and open G, and presents several videos teaching a variety of songs in these tunings.

Open G guitar tuning is of particular interest and we take a look how Robert Johnson, King of Delta Blues Guitar used it to create songs such as Walkin' Blues and Crossroads.

Jim Bruce was voted N °2 Internet Guitar Instructor by Truefire.com in 2013.
