Open D Tuning for Beginners to Advanced | Acoustic Guitar Lesson

[@OsbornIOW]

Thank you for saying "Take your time, no need to rush." Because there are so many adverts saying learn in 5 min or 5 days or some rubbish like that. Also how many times do we see that dreaded word "Hack" being used..... Learning properly takes TIME.

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Couldn't''t agree with you more Andy

[@goldenvintage9109]

Hi from Cognac, France :) I recently had the distal phalanx of my left hand amputated... so I really appreciate this lesson, which gives me a new approach to playing. Thank you so much !😊

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

You are very welcome I am glad this helps you merci

[@raylairetac3378]

Obviously this is the tuning of Clapton's blues songs?

[@jamesmonahan1870]

Wonderful video. JOANN IN OPEN TUNING (c)2006 and GOODBYE (C)2006 we're both recorded in open D tuning.

[@frankschwartz7152]

Enjoying your videos and playing around with the ideas - only thing I don’t see are the references to links don’t seem to be popping up. Thanks

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Thanks for posting Frank, everything seems to be working my end ? So not sure why you are not getting pop ups, anyways all links are also in description

[@thetaylormadeband4940]

Very useful. I'm going to have a go at this.

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Great!

[@danielcoughlan2622]

Cool and calm never rushed through. What a gift for teaching you have

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Thanks Daniel, glad it worked for you 🙏

[@richardread8281]

Great stuff. Which Martin model are you playing ?

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

D35

[@cartermac64]

Stumbled on this yesterday. Man, you are the teacher I wished I found years ago. Very good. My wife gives your style the thumbs up as well :)

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Tab will show that xtra fretted note

[@dharmaofdog7676]

!! 1/2 way thru trying to Tune my individual Strings to his, realize he Tunes bottom to Top! (of course, official String Order but for Dyslexics, challenging!) but I do appreciate I had some reference point to Tune my Strings with.

[@markstacey2906]

I subscribed during the first riff... And have already dug out the perfect guitar for open D... I think you may have got a new fan... Thanks Mate...

[@neilsmith9220]

Brilliant. What a great lesson. Thank you :)

Fretted extra note ---not upstroke --you added a extra fretted note --cannot see --hidden by your fingers ----never mind ---I/ll figure it out if you have tab -----

[@tedrowland7800]

Nice video. I am struggling. I used to play almost exclusively finger picking. I had a mini stroke, thank God it was not a full on stroke, and I don't have good control of the right hand. But I'm not giving up and using a 12 string Martin to increase strength and I love the sound.

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Thanks for posting Ted The 12 string has a great sound well done to you for persevering and sticking with it. I wish you great success and I’m sure that you will get much enjoyment during your recovery. Just in case you’re interested, I have lots of fingernail content over on my Patreon page with all ranges covered from very basic up to advanced www.patreon.com/joesguitarlessons all the very best.

[@jibberish00]

“for wannabe fingerpickers”. Perfect-that’s me! 😅

[@leroybrown-coco]

What I noticed as a newbie is that Open E open G open D have similar Chords. I mean if you think about it you just have the same shapes, Across the fret board I should say.

[@quotemenot7520]

DADGAD without the G

[@mywaveinwoodswoodperfumes]

I like your speech, playing and overall channel mate. Great work ❤

[@frankschwartz7152]

Turns out I see the links work fine on my laptop but not on my phone - weird - anyway, love your approach - keep up the good works.

[@jcsmith9518]

Glad I found you as I start my journey down the open D road. Thanks to you I just jumped ahead a little.

So open D for beginners -----ok ---but slide ?--little finger ?

[@andrewmarriott9331]

great lesson am I right thinking if yo capo at the 2nd fret you change it to open E tuning and can use the same chord shapes, just like you would use the capo in standard tuning?

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Correct Andrew 👍

[@massimilianomaldini2238]

How are you muting the lowest string when doing the shuffle? Like... It's a chop, so the string isn't supposed to ring out. So... How do you mute it?

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Practice

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Hang on --basic shuffle is straight forward --but suddenly at 3:45 ---you add another higher note--cannot see how you finger or do this ?

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Carl I said what I did which is an upstroke
