Open D Tuning: Intro

In this tutorial we'll continue our journey into the land of open tunings, by exploring the classic open D tuning. This is the same as the open E-tuning- only down a whole step. It can also be tuned down a another whole step to be an open C tuning, but for now we'll keep it to D.

As always, the idea is not to adapt everything you already know from standard tuning to this new tuning, which would be a tedious and pointless task. Instead we'll meet this new tuning with a beginner's mindset and explore all the fun sounds that are easily accessible within it. Once we've broken down the basics of the tuning, we'll put it all to work within the context of a practice tune.
