Thanks a lot @kiucamaleao! I hope to make it down to Brazil some day. I'm sure it's an amazing place for music.

@@opentuningguitar I hope so. Got tune my acoustic guitar on G2 and try to learn this song. God bless U, friend. You can call me, Alex! Nice to meet you. Watching your videos right now!

Thanks, Alex. I'm Robert. Let me know if you have any questions about the tuning or run into any trouble with the tab.

No problem. Thanks for watching!

Yeah, I've got light guage Dadarrios on there. I might try that tuning with heavier strings sometime.

@@opentuningguitar it sounds great especially when you've down-tuned it

Thanks!

Thanks! I just made a pdf of the tab available for download in the video description. This is my first time trying this, so let me know if you have any trouble with the file.

@@opentuningguitar no trouble, worked fine. Thank you!

I don't know much by him aside from Leroy Brown. Any songs or albums you could recommend?

Thanks a lot! If you want to try out the tuning, you can use this video by tuning your strings to the notes. ruclips.net/video/Psf6sVVu1b0/видео.html&ab_channel=187Guitarplayer

Thanks! The only thing to do is keep at it.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you! Yes, drop D is very fun to play in.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

Hello how are you strumming the mutted 3 strings in bar 7 after the chord progression looks like you mute the top strings with 3 fingers then play 2nd high string string first fret I'm trying to do the mutted strummy bit. I'm getting there until I got to this bit

@@user-ik2pe6jo1z I think I know the spot you're referring to. Around 0.50? It looks like I missed the muted strings in the tab. I'm thinking it should be a mute, then some very quick open strings, then the chord on the first fret, second string. Sorry, that was the second video I made for youtube, and the tabs and my playing are both pretty sloppy.

@@opentuningguitar ok I will have another bash at it tomorrow. If you think your playing was sloppy you should hear me trying to play it. I will get there. cheers for reply buddie

@@user-ik2pe6jo1z No problem at all. Let me know if you have any other questions on any songs or tunings.

Thanks, Prison Mike!

Thank you! For me, I think a mix of learning other people's songs and experimenting with your own stuff is great for creativity. Even though this song sounds nothing like it, I started out wanting to write something like Oh Me by the Meat Puppets, and it evolved into this.

Yes, I've been listening to him. I really like the albums from the 60s. It's cool hearing the recordings from the 30s, then seeing what they're like with high-quality production. I'm not sure if my song is influenced by him, though. His playing is too weird to try to copy.

@@opentuningguitar Skip James had his unique style and phrasing but learning his style or songs is not as hard as it sounds. Mastering them is the hard part. The hammer-ons you did at the end is very reminiscent of Skip's style.

Thanks!

Yep, for sure. Kyuss made me want to try this tuning.

No problem, I hope you enjoyed it. Yeah, it's a weird tuning. The E strings are really detuned, so they flop around a lot, but it's really easy to write cool riffs with it.

Yeah, I've heard that A# and Bb are not quite interchangeable, but I have zero music theory knowledge. So it should be Bb here?

Thank you!

Haha, I'm glad you like the playing.

Well, it's definitely quick!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.

I actually love that game, though it's been a few years since I've played it. It has really cool music.

Yeah, it's awesome. Everything you play in it sounds good.

I'm glad you like it. It's tuned to CGCGCC.

The fingers definitely take some convincing. It's fun to play pretty much anything in that tuning, though.

Thanks, Wendy!

Thanks! Yeah, I liked this song, but it didn't get much attention.

Yep, I love that little move at the beginning of Little Wing. Had to put it in there.

Yes, that's right. It's tuned to CGCFAC.

I'm glad you like it. And thanks for subscribing!

Thank you!

Yeah, fair enough. I started writing it as a blues song, but it kind of morphed into something else, though there's still some blues notes in there.

@mod0049 It's definitely blues based dark acoustic music, I wouldn't call you a knowledgeable musician

@@opentuningguitar It's very Skip James-esque, he played most of his 1931 records in Open D minor. This is definitely the blues and it would be unfair to say it isn't. mod0049 probably think blues is always a twelve bar with a swing.

@@die-Bienen-des-Dunkelheit Yeah, a lot of my favorite blues songs are just spare acoustic guitar. I think Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground might be the best blues song ever written, but it doesn't sound like stereotypical blues. Any Skip James songs or albums you can recommend?

@@opentuningguitarFor albums: Today! (1966), Devil Got My Woman (1968) and The Complete 1931 Session. Songs: Hard Floor Killing Blues, Devil Got My Woman, Illinois Blues. Dark Was The Night is an archetypical blues, the best slide song ever. The issue is what people think of blues, is really rock with blues elements in it and that's a shame because they are missing out on some beautiful art.

I haven't listened to them before. Any songs or albums you could recommend? Thanks.

@@opentuningguitarBlackwater Park and Damnation are quite nice.

@@Mucannn I'll check them out. Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

I'll check it out. I love Nick Drake, but I've never learned any of his songs. Thanks!

Thanks so much!

Thanks!

I didn't know that about the 8 string tuning. I'll have to check out a video. I'm glad you enjoyed!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support.

Yeah, there's a lot of strings harmonizing with each other in this tuning. It's a lot of fun to mess around with.

I hadn't heard of him before, but I just listened to some of his music. He's a wild guitar player.
