In this tutorial we'll explore a classic alternate tuning known as DADGAD. The reason it's called that is that the open strings are tuned D A D G A D. This is unlike many other open tunings because the open strings aren't tuned to basic major chord, but rather to a tense sus4 chord. The same guiding principle still applies though that we're not gonna try to transfer what we normally play into this new tuning, but rather figure which specific chords, vibes and sounds this tuning is perfect for. Today we'll explore this within the context of a practice tune that I've written specifically to highlight the wondrous beauty of the DADGAD tuning.

Anders will introduce the concept of alternate tunings starting with drop D tuning as well as the lesser known double drop D.

In this tutorial we'll explore one of my personal favorite alternate tunings, which is open G. You can do so much cool stuff in this tuning, and I've written a fun practice tune to show you some of my favorite sounds that open G has to offer. Cause as always the idea is not to adapt what we play in standard tuning, but rather to explore what sounds, chords and vibes are comfortably accessible within the open G tuning.

In this tutorial we'll explore a super cool, and yet very simple, alternate tuning known as "Double Drop D". We're only changing two strings from standard tuning, both E strings down a whole step to D. But this will open up a world of cool possibilities. We'll explore all this within the context of a fun practice tune that I've written specifically to show you how cool and accessible the world of "Double Drop D" can be.

Mike will show you the 2 guitar layers in this song. Guitar 1 is an acoustic guitar that uses a capo and an alternate tuning to strum out the foundation of the tune. Guitar 2 is a light crunch electric guitar that adds some nice fills and simple chord strums to help build the arrangement.

In this tutorial we'll explore one of the simplest and most commonly used examples of an alternate tuning. This tuning is known as "Drop D", and it simply refers to lowering the low E-string by a whole step, down to D, which opens up a world of musical possibilities that we'll explore in this tutorial, within the context of a fun practice tune.

In these lessons, Mike Olekshy will show you the parts to the electronic alternative dance hit "Personal Jesus", as made famous by Depeche Mode. Mike will teach you the tuning and tone, the iconic single note riff, the verse chords, the chorus, the slide guitar part, the the strumming in the outro.
