Tuning Information
Open D Tuning
D.A.D.F#.A.D
The three bass strings can be used for powerful root-fifth-octave chords, or they can be used as steady drones beneath a shifting harmony. Almost every chord type has an easy bar-fingering: major, minor, 7th, sus 4, major and minor 6, and 7sus 4. This adds to the versatility of the Open D tuning and makes it possible to play in a variety of styles and keys. Two well known tunes in Open D are Joni Mitchel's Big Yellow Taxi and the Allman Brother's Little Martha. Common variations of the Open D tuning are to tune it down two frets to the key of C (CGCEGD), or to tune it up two frets to the key of E (EBEG#BE).

As with many open tunings, the multiple D and A strings can be used to easily make up new ways of fingering chords. For more chord fingerings, note that the Open D tuning is sandwiched between the Open D minor and the Modal D tunings. Both of these chord charts can be used for additional Open D chords with only minor modifications.

Testimonies From Guitar Players Around The World

"The layout and content of this application cannot be over-praised! Unbelievably thorough reference for anything you want to learn about guitar chords and notation, including complete support for traditional and non-traditional scales. It's completely intuitive and a just a joy to use. The team that created this application should (virtually) stand up and take a bow! If we don't have a million more great guitar players in the coming years, it will not be because this app didn't exist. TRY IT!" Bill McNichols

"I for one have been playing guitar for 58 years till now every coarse I ever did could not explain as simple as this it is by far the the best tutorer someone like me could under stand and appreciate to the builder of this software well done indeed." Rima Hemi

"Very nice application and useful tool for guitarists. Nice layout and design. Easy interface for navigating. Very nice for a free application. I saw no reference that it was merely a trial version, so I would be very disappointed if at some point it stops working and I need to pay. I don't mind paying for things if the developers are up front with things and say it's a trial." David Goguen
