Talking about alternate tunings still. We are talking about an open D tune. Alright, so what does that mean? That means what we are trying to do is to make the guitar sound like one chord.

You can play minor chords in Open D with a full barre. Just fret the 3rd string 1 fret "behind" the slide… or barre with two fingers and fret the 3rd string as above if you aren’t using a slide. (if you fret it 2 frets behind, it’s a sus2 chord.) Wither either the 1st or 4th strings, you can similarly play Maj7th, dominant 7th and, if you can stretch your finger far enough, 6th chords (but it’s much easier to play a 6th chord by barring the 2nd string 2 frets in front)
I play this tuning almost exclusively, except I drop the F# to F, making it an open Dm tuning. This gives access to all of the minor chords with a full barre as well as all of the major chords with a full barre and finger one fret up on the F string.
thanks alot maybe later on you could put out some videos¨teaching how to play some songs with the diffrent tunnings like if you would like the same thing 🙂
tnx is dat ahm acoustic electric?
lol
@TheRealMysteryKid hahahaha! Ya. Actually I never did F#, I just kept that one at G, still sounds good!
I thought I invented DADF#AD!!! >:O
be sure to go a little lower than the desired note, and then tune it up. never straight down because the string won’t settle right in that tuning if it’s lacking some tension
thank 4 doing these vids howcast im currently learning the electric guitar
