easierguitar Gets Hits
Yay! People seem to be finding http://www.easierguitar.com ...
I've written a few new articles I hope to post on some sites and here as well. One is on tuning and re-tuning to and from open-D and within open-D. It's really quite simple, I point out. Also finished off a dandy little short article on the merits of vocalists trying it out even if they've failed on guitar in the past.
Let's face it, if you even have just a bare-bones rudimentary understanding of the rudiments, open-D, as outlined in Guitar-eze, is a breeze to understand. The chords structures are right in your face. You're playing many of them with one finger! It's a beautiful thing.
Not to say limited either. Up and down the neck of your guitar, there are inversions and voicings you never dreamed possible and would likely never find on standard guitar tuning E A D G B E. Never. Seriously.
Once again I was the only open-D'er at the jam on Sunday - played a little Chicago-style slide, in the best possible tuning for Chicago slide. This coming Sunday, Dusty is joining us. Wonder if he does any alternate tuning stuff? Click the Katz site to see what's what with the band.
