Don't strum alone... |
(By Tyson)
Howdy folks, a while back, (like a year or so)
I made a lesson called Alternate
Tunings. It had a large host of wild tunings for people
who get tired of always using the same chord shapes and voicing.
That lesson came at a price, (I think I broke 3 guitar strings doing
it!) Anyway, I'm about to focus on one of those tunings, the one
that is probably the second most common, DADGBD, or double Drop D.
So tune both your E strings down a whole step to D and we'll begin.
First, let's look at how to do some normal major chords in DADGBD.
Here's a list.
| A x02222
A# x13333 It's easiest to do with 2 fingers B X24444 C x32012 C# x46666 D xx0234 D# x68888 E 222102 If you only have 4 fingers, cover the 2 lowest notes with 1 F xx3213 F# xx4324 G 520005 Don't hurt yourself :) G# xx6546 |
Back from the hospital so quickly? Then let's move on to the minors!
| Am x02212
A#m x13323 I never said it would be easy Bm X24434 Cm x35545 C#m x46656 Dm xx0233 D#m x68878 Em 222002 Fm xx3113 F#m xx4224 Gm xx5335 G#m xx6446 |
Try playing those shapes to one of your favorite songs. That should
keep you busy for a little while, so practice those until I get up the
next lesson.
