Open Tunings: Retune Your Guitar and Play Beautiful Chords with One Finger

In standard tuning, almost every chord takes three or four fingers. Change the tuning and the open strings start working for you: many chords take one finger, or none at all, and the guitar sounds fuller and deeper.

Open Tunings is a 106-page reference ebook with 6 alternate tunings for guitar. For each one you get the steps to retune with a tuner app, the chords for all 12 keys, and 3 shapes for every chord: the easiest, the full chord and one with extra color.

WHAT IS INSIDE

- 6 tunings, from the one that changes a single string to the one that changes four: Drop D, Double Drop D, DADGAD, Open D, Open G and Open C.

- Step-by-step tuning for each one, how to check it by ear and how to get back to standard tuning.

- All 12 keys in every tuning, with the 6 most used chords of each key.

- 3 shapes for every chord, with suggested fingering and the root note marked.

- One-finger chords are tagged, so you can find them fast.

- A capo shortcut for every key that is hard in a given tuning.

- A 7-day plan (10 to 15 minutes a day) and a checklist at the end of each tuning.

- A one-page cheat sheet of the 6 tunings to print and keep with your guitar.

WHO IT IS FOR

- Players who accompany hymns and worship songs from chord charts and want a fuller sound.

- Beginners who still struggle with chords that take a lot of fingers.

- Experienced players who want to get out of the same old sound.

PLEASE NOTE

Not every chord takes one finger. The ebook marks the ones that do and gives you three shapes for all the others. The tabs in the Make Your Guitar Sing course are written for standard tuning; this ebook is for playing songs with chords, and it shows you how to retune to standard before each lesson.
