D Minor Tuning - Welcome to the Machine

[@martinlicht1969]

"Honey, I need another guitar to have tuned this way" seriously, thanks sir.

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

That’s my logic, OG!

[@joemonroe1106]

Hell yes..one for every tuning...who has time for anything else?

[@jom6760]

@@martinlicht1969 I agree absolutely; need for every tuning one guitar and have to label it to recognize the named tuning; have 60 guitars in my collection, now the trouble starts with which one for which tuning…..luxury problem 😅😅😅

[@JohnnyApp1eseed]

Just love open tunings ❤ they just sound so much better than standard. Love the low lush tones they offer. Not to mention just easier and more fun to play. I started to understand music theory way better from them as well. I wish I started playing them years ago

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

Thanks Johnny! Glad you enjoyed.

You have no idea how many memories I get from this song,we had it on original vinyl in High school, almost night marish

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

Same for me Kenneth. I was a sophomore in high school when I first listened to my vinyl “Wish You Were Here” album. It blew me away and made me want to learn all the songs. The opening to “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” still gives me chills.

[@iamkimes]

Mike, I love your lessons. I've been playing for 35 years and I have about 25 original songs in my current set. Since COVID I've not been able to write any songs so, I decide to learn some covers. About 50% of my covers in my set are songs learned from you! I even have a 15 minute set of original songs in open Dm - And, had no idea Eleanor Rigby and this song was in the same tuning. I can honestly say that watching your video lessons are probably one of the few productive things I do on KZbin. Otherwise, I'm practicing. You tube can be a rabbit hole of nothing. Also love your vibe and calmness in instruction. I've got a new Marshall Code 50 amp with channel switching pedal someone gave me. Tell me where to send it for Guitars for Veterans. I will send it. Thank you!

[@campfire_guitar_lessons]

There's also THE END and END OF THE NIGHT from the first album by The Doors that used a dropped D minor Tuning. As for Welcome to the machine, I had always played that one in standard tuning but that alternate tuning is indeed what we hear on the record. Nonetheless, I have seen Gilmour play this live and I do believe he uses a standard tuning. I'll have to check to make sure.

[@michaelsteven1090]

You would have to look for a guitar change before the song to determine that..But he always played the black Strat and there was only one of those..

[@miraposajehano4309]

@@michaelsteven1090 When he plays live, he doesn't used a Stratocaster on that song but an acoustic (either a Martin D-28 or a Guild)...I mean do you know the song? Do you hear a Stratocaster on that song?

[@markmackey9320]

I just started tsking lessons 6 months ago and have learned so much. Never really thought about de-tuning the guitar for different songs. It's been a facinating journey since taking lessons. I like the eery sounds of Pink Floyd's music how they are mostly off key just a little bit. I have two acoustics and now one is tuned for this D-minor tuning. Another avenue to explore to make my head explode. :-)

I’m an Army vet; 37F. Thank you so much for this lesson. Super simple and no chord requires more than 2 fingers! Yet is sounds amazing as a stand alone acoustic piece. Much better than the standard tuning versions I’ve heard. I’m gonna drop tune my dad’s guitar tomorrow and teach him this. You have some walk down notes and mutings that you play but don’t teach. But I figured them out. I’m going to learn your Beatles’ song in this tuning next. And I found a Joe Banamossa song lesson in Dm too. Great job! And great open tuning.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

I am reminded of the value of memorising the chromatic scale: E-F-F#-G-Ab-A-Bb-B-C-C#-D-Eb-E for navigating the neck! If you get this down, you know each note on neck (it takes some time, but worth it).

[@hawaiiskaterdad]

E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E. Technically B and E dont have sharps. Replace Ab with G#, add A#, minus Bb,

I’ve always done it in Em my own way. It sounds pretty good. But the Dm is intriguing. I recently started keeping one electric in E standard , and one in Nashville Standard. Having only one acoustic I have to change it for each tuning. But I do have a Peavy Predator II ( strat like ) maybe I’ll try this tuning on it. 🤔🤔 I’ll have to play with it some. Thanks good stuff ✌️

[@brendanburdick5230]

Sounds cool in open Dmin - some of these chords really remind me of the song Dogs from the Animals album - I believe at least some of the tracked guitar parts were whole-step detuned (DGCFad) so there's that heavy, moody feel (also a little like Jimi's Machine Gun from the Filmore East New Year's Eve 1969 show, which was in the same territory)

Beautiful song that really does good job of capturing the emotion of someone trapped in the meat grinder that can be the American working class and constantly wanting more than you can obtain.

One follow-up question please; you mentioned a Bm+9 chord but I didn't see where you played it in the song. I may have mixed up a couple of your youtube lessons. Thanks again. Rob

Rob - I think the example was adding my ring finger on string 1 fret 2 when I was playing the B sus 2. I didn’t use that chord in the song, rather, just mentioned it in my explanation of the sus 2. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks John! The first chord, with middle on string 5 fret 5 and ring on string 2 fret 5 is D minor. Then the subsequent chords are Dm sus 2, Dm sus 3, then Dm sus 4. In essence, you are just walking up notes 2, 3 and 4 in the D minor scale, then down to Bb.
