guitarists - alternate tunings (open d)
who uses them here?
i've recently decided to concentrate my guitar playing to learning some tunes in Open D. so far i've learnt Poor Boy Long Way From Home by John Fahey, Pay Day by Mississippi John Hurt and a version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow (there's a great version of this on youtube).
it's a LOT of fun just to improvise in this tuning, especially after a joint. lovely droney sound. quite hypnotising really.
Vestapol and Stateboro Blues are next on my to-learn-list..
can anyone suggest any other good tunes to learn?
