It really is a fun tuning to distort and have fun with. There are a lot of Blues players who use this tuning almost exclusively.

Open D isn’t really that hard to figure out and with a lesson on the basics of getting around and learning the basic slide technique you really can get a lot of mileage out of it and play a lot of blues licks.

The intervals are the same as Open E, just two steps lower. Derek Trucks plays in Open E and though he’s a far more sophisticated player in that tuning you can still get a lot of his licks in open D. The same as Warren Haynes and Duane Allman.

The tuning is simple but you can do a lot with it. Just improvise and see what you come up with. It’s a fun tuning to compose in too.
