I thought I'd check out you channel. Guitar MAX had good things to say about you. Seen the 7 tuning's everyone should know. And wanted to see if you had ones I haven't tried. You did. Will try some of these. Thank you for sharing. Subscribed...
Fantastic Scott, I'll come back to this in the future for a reference. For a regular drop D (sort of) I sometimes put a capo just across the top five strings at the second fret. You have a drop E , but for the A chord (G shape) you still have your bottom E string in tune for the full chord.
@@ScottPoleyMusic Yep, I guess things could be substantially different too, under the heat of stage lighting etc. if the string tension was already pretty relaxed... 👊
Absolutely, it’s always a compromise, I usually have 2 acoustics on tour, one strung with 12’s, the other with 13’s to make life easier for all the altered tunings we use.
The Robinson Brothers used open E tuning on a lot of their songs. Most notably, "She talks to Angels ".
Wow, I’d not heard that. Great track

Welcome aboard! Thank you 🙏
CACGCE. The Bron-yr-aur tuning.
Ooooh, will check that out. Thanks!
Great vid! Can you play the banjo? Would love to see a banjo vid!
I can, but not well 😝 I do however know a lot of good banjo players so I’ll do my best to make that happen.
Absolutely fantastic Scott, more videos how to use these tunings please.
Nice one Darren 👍

Great idea!!
Great video Scott! Are you using the same gauge of strings for each tuning?
Yep, although it’s a bit dicey on the low C notes. I use gauge 12 Elixir’s on acoustic but would likely use a 13 gauge for the lower tunings.

Excellent video, and a fair few tunings I'd never even heard of 😅. Great work 👍🏻
Absolutely Chris! Nice one 👍
Another great video Scott ☺️
Thanks Robin 🙏
