Chord Progressions in Open D Tuning (Patreon)

Are you a new Patron? Wondering where to start? Click here

Hi Everyone,

I promised a few Patrons that I would do a few lessons on open tunings! Let me know if you like this one and I'll do some more!

In this lesson we explore how to make some fun chord progressions in Open D tuning - D A D F# A D

This tuning is beautiful but presents some interesting difficulties! We don't have enough fingers to make most of the chords in the key, but we can still play them by using drone notes that each chord will have in common. The result is a beautiful, complex-sounding set of options to play with.

I'd love to hear your chord progressions and questions about this lesson! Please post your recordings and musings on the community forum.
