Looking into how to tune the guitar to Open E and how the tuning offers advantages for playing the guitar, such as making bar chords easier & providing unique chord shapes.
“Something in the Air” by Thunderclap Newman is a great song for beginners in open E tuning, with simple chords and a catchy strumming pattern.
“Big Yellow Taxi” by Joni Mitchell introduces barre chords in open E tuning, allowing beginners to practice this technique as it just uses 1 finger!
“Can’t Always Get What You Want” by The Rolling Stones uses capo, giving players the opportunity to experiment with different sounds but the shapes are all the same
“Jumpin’ Jack Flash” by The Rolling Stones is a great intermediate challenge as the barring still uses just 1 finger for the chords but the other fingers are needed for quite big stretches
“Gimme Shelter” by The Rolling Stones is an awesome way to end this video as it really showcases open E tuning & it’s distinct sound!
