Open D Tuning for Beginners to Advanced | Acoustic Guitar Lesson

[@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 :)

[@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

[@peterheroux8239]

Excellent teaching video. You're easy going style is really appreciated. Especially when I don't have to listen to silly inside jokes between the song lesson. Cheers

Thanks Jeff, if you are enjoying the videos, perhaps you would consider subscribing to my channel, that's if you haven't already.

[@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.

!! 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.

[@gibby6904]

Very nice open D primer Joe! I have played in open D over the years but not recently so it was a good refresher for me......

[@massimilianomaldini2238]

Very nice, can u do a lesson as to set properly a guitar for the slide. Thank s❤

[@elirivsotier6977]

Beautiful Joe- thanks

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Cheers Rivs

[@elirivsotier6977]

Joe what is the name of the first song by Robert Johnson? Tab?

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Rambling on my mind, link to lesson below, no tabs for that one, two part lesson, that should be all you need. Tabs for other over on my patreon page, be good to have you over there Rivs, take care

[@elirivsotier6977]

@@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons - thanks when I went to the video I was sure Ramblin Man was in open E

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

It is Rambling on my mind not Rambling man

[@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.

Thanks Bruce

[@wanattasuksa-nguansiri1218]

thanks

[@mattreid859]

Hi Joe - nice lesson thanks. Good voice too! Open d has got me away from a rut of doing the same old thing in standard 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

Just about every BEE GEE;s song had Berry playing in open D, and in many of their songs you can hear his strumming chords in open D right up front of the lead guitars.

[@richardread8281]

Great stuff. Which Martin model are you playing ?

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

D35

[@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.

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Great lesson ---at 7:35 --suddenly you sport a green slide? glass ? or steel ----? What can we use if we don't have slide ?

[@jeffj318]

So good, Joe. Thank you for helping us to play better.

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 👍

[@raylairetac3378]

is the the tuning used by Stephen Stills of "Wasted on the Way"?

[@colinmcquillan7844]

hi Joe love your lessons

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

[@KountryCuz1]

Well Done Thanks sounds Great ♫

[@raylairetac3378]

Is this tuning also true to none blues songs? Do they have same chords to standard tuning?

[@frankraymond]

what are the cords you are using in this

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

I am playing lots of different chords Frank

[@paulfortier8627]

Hi Joe, Thanks for this lesson. I went to your lesson on "Rambling on my Mind" you referred to, but it is in Open E. Do you have this lesson in Open D? Thanks a lot.

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Capo 2nd fret takes you to open E

[@paulfortier8627]

@@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons Yes. Thanks a lot. I should have figure it how, man. Have a great day.

[@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

[@jibberish00]

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

[@leadbelly1495]

Thanks so much

You are very welcome Katy

[@maakeklein4073]

Could I play calypso with this tuning?

[@WayofYahushua]

If you're wondering how to get your guitar back in tune, then you might want to consider switching to the triangle.

[@DavidS-vs5mj]

Great video! Did Robert Johnson always play in open D?

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

No he played in different tunings

[@Mark_McC]

Hey Joe, considering you are in Open D, have you thought about doing a Both Sides Now lesson?

[@JoeMurphysGuitarlessons]

Never heard of it Mark

[@glennbolder2722]

I love open d chuning , I practice it after my lunch, chuna fish samich.

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Tab will show that xtra fretted note

[@raylairetac3378]

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