9 year old guitarist changes key of "Better Man" by Pearl Jam from D to E using open string chords: based on collaboration with British singer Nicola Jayne in March 2012 youtu.be He changed the tuning of all six strings and used different fingering shapes than the original song. All of the chord patterns are from chords that are commonly used in songs with standard tuning, so this lesson should be easy for guitarists who already know how to play the basic open chords of G major, D major, A major, C major. One issue that could be a problem is tuning down a guitar with light gauge strings. If your strings become too loose from tuning down, trying thicker gauge strings might help out.
