Heres a simplified way to play the CSN&Y song Find the Cost of Freedom in Open G tuning. Ive seen some Dropped D tuning versions of this song on YouTube, which I really like and want to learn to play. But until then, this is what I came up with on my own in a desperate attempt to play something like this cool song.

  1. Sorry, but this *is* played in Open G tuning (D-G-D-G-B-D) . . . I realize this is not the standard tuning or approach to this song (I really should learn the authentic way), but because Open G tuning has been one of the avenues that expanded my guitar horizons, I offered this interpretation. I have quite a variety of other songs in Open G tuning (on my YouTube channel) if clarification is needed on my use of this tuning.

  2. cooder7 – This is NOT open G – Open G tuning is D-G-D-G-B-D. From Low to high.

  3. If you are interested, the tuning for this song is C-G-C-F-G-C from low E to high E.

    0 0 3 3 The first two 0’s are the first string
