Yes fuckin' Gun Club, this band need MORE attention.

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Agreed!

[@colinlogue7685]

My playing on new level since I found the Cat !

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Thanks so much!

[@stjernevask6744]

yes!

[@markcarter801]

Very cool, I just retuned my guitar to open E this morning to learn some slide so I was already in the right tuning for this lesson!

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Nice!

[@user-kd3cq1jn8z]

Nice!- I've already tried open G (inc 5 string 'keef Richards' style)and open D slide. Was trying out 'Goo Goo muck' from your lesson last night,so MUST try it in open E! THANKS.

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Good luck and thanks for watching!

[@drolleriesdrolleries]

Kid Congo is a legend that deserves so much praise for his art. You're the man!

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Cheers! 🙏

[@user-kd3cq1jn8z]

Rather obvious discovery for a 'newbie' like me-but tune to open D (DADF#AD) and capo on the second fret- for open E. lots of blues players did this,(and less strain on the guitar neck?) Thanks again Nico,opening up a whole world of possibilities!

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Thanks so much ! 🍻

[@danpugatch]

This is awesome, I've never tried other tunings before. I struggle with Barre chords after breaking my left wrist multiple times over the years skateboarding and racing bicycles. This is going to be super helpful. Cheers! 🍻

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

I hope it helps! you still gotta do a bit of a bar but there's less going on so I think you will find it a little easier.

[@franklam1]

thank you nico! always nice crampsy vids

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Cheers!

Bo Diddley played in Open E for pretty much everything as far as I can tell. I even stuff like Before You Accuse Me is in Open E based on the out of tune blues licks on it.

[@LeopoldoNassivera]

Cool punky solution! By the way, that tele looks great. What model is that? Is it a P90 in neck position?

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

It’s a Frankenstein’s monster! It is a p90 yes, I gotta have a P90

[@TomVernonUAP]

this is dead good if you've got capos for hands too

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Ol' Johnny Capofingers

[@chesterburnett3466]

I'm guessing you can't play minor & 7th chords with this tuning. Thanks

[@sj_-_]

For a minor you barre with index then add pinky and ring fingers two frets higher on the 3rd and 4th string. For a 7th you barre with index and add pinky two frets higher on the 2nd string. Open E is one my favourites.

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

There is a way! Also you could tune the whole guitar to minor if you wanted by dropping the g string another semitone

[@Flitspopper74]

Hardtail only..... 🤫

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

This will work on bigsby guitars too!

[@ErikMoreno-yf8bl]

That’s funny I was trying to learn this song off tabs and boom here it is 🫡

[@DEATHRAYCAT]

Hope it helps! Cheers! 🍻
