RIP, Al. For more than your music, you are missed.
Nicely presented. Liked the, "As long as you don't hit the wrong note you're OK!" I've been trying that approach my whole life!! LOL!!
DADGAD, DACGAE, DADEAE, CGCGGE (5th B string a step up from the normal G string), DADGBE (2 steps down on the D string)!
It's really tough to explain a few of them, but these tunings have helped me with some sick ideas for songwriting! 😉
I love Al’s teaching style and way of thinking. Thanks to all for sharing and making this video.
What kind of fairy dust do some luthiers sprinkle over the guitars they build, seriously?? The clarity of the notes in this guitar.. Simply amazing!
Renoir Bootstrap More like the wood being blessed by the forest gods to sound as buttery as possible. Uh, just lather us up with that sounds.
Al Pettaway rocks.
This tuning is soooo nice! I could just wander around in it for hours!
Wow! The tone of that guitar is stunning.
You are opening a whole new avenue of exploration..Great stuff.
DGDGAD is heavenly, but this never occurred to me; should be fun to try. Thanks!
I just came across this. Thank you for the share. It seriously opens a whole new world. You explained it perfectly. Great Job !!
You are awesome brother! I’ll have to give that tuning a try!! You and Amy stay healthy during these uncertain times, my friend
This is a great tuning, it can give some lovely lush chords, lots of things to try with it!
Very easy to fallow his instructions on this tuning, after watching others it’s a relief
Al is a great teacher for sure, we're glad you're enjoying our channel!
I like the fact that every video that I've seen with alternate tunings have all used beautiful to describe the sound
Love this! Sounds like a Joni Mitchell tuning. I play in A, E, B, E, F#, B, which is similar to this tuning but if you tune the 4th string C to D (and then obviously it's lower). I use a capo a lot for these open tunings, I rarely play in standard anymore 😂
Four years after, here i'm getting absort in this beautiful sound.
Thanks mate!
Glad you enjoy it!
Thank You!!! Getting inside of this tuning was/is like magic, and you explained it so well, thank you.
Nice chops, also that guitar sounds magnificent.
Even for someone such as myself who does not play guitar, to hear a master such as Mr. Petteway speak, teach and play so easily is inspiring in its own right.
Keola Beamer plays a lovely tune, (E Ku'u "Morning Dew" in that (Old Mauna Loa or NI'ihau tuning)
Yeah I found it sounds reminiscent of a band from the '80s called zebra and the tuning for a song called who's behind the door awesome stuff Al.
OMG. That sound is amazing
What a great approach to opening up possibilities with this tuning. The personality of the tutor, Al, makes the challenges less daunting, like having a friend pass on tips!! In my senior years it is people like Al who open up new possibilities that I didn't know existed. Thanks for this. I find myself returning to this tutorial time and time again. Roy Fleming
Well said! So glad to hear you enjoyed it!
awesome! i was just making incremental changes between tunings i like to play in and different realative keys and i stumbled upon and i thought about this tuning and then i searched and found this and its exactly was i was hoping for
a great discovery indeed!!! and thanks for posting a nice view about this tuning :)
that is cool! Thank you, now I get to explore some new sounds.
Awesome - Have Fun!
Al Pettaway for president
It resemblances open C minor tunning. Great video teacher 🤗
Excellent Al... this is an inspiring start to evolve the potential of this tuning... there just seems to be so many options .... cheers Al :)
Thank you for this gift ...
Thank you so much for show this beautifful tuning open C well i play also a two songs from open C tuning myself And now i get new ideas how to play more beautiful songs I hope i can try to play this with your good ideas that you show Thank you so much
I also got a Jeff Traugott guitar I love this tuning! This tuning can open a new world ! Sounds amazing!
RIP Al Petteway.
Thank you for taking me into the new dimension.
Dammit, just spent 45 minutes trying to learn your tune "This Just In" in DADGAD. It now becomes clear it was played in CGCGAD!
Great video! Thanks. 🙂
love it i see more fun times ahead . many thanks al ...
This was a real finding! CG sounds great. I'll get a try. Let us see. Thank you so much for the wonderful class. And that guitar, wow, a gorgeous piece of wood. All the best.
Deminds me of two of Dave Evans' tunings: CGDGAD and CGCGAC.
Thanks Al
6:36 that is some nice riff!
Thanks Al, sounds lovely!
Wow! Thank you! This will get me out of the DADGAD rut.
Best wishes for a happy holiday season.
i stumbled across a very interesting open tuning that is kinda like this one while trying to tune to "magic farmer," and i ended up with cgcgaf#, very beautiful suspended sound, if you like that suspended major/minor sound you can get in dadgad you might like it
Thanks for the suggestion!
love it
Tenho usado CGCGA#D, da pra tocar legal tbm
Thanks Al, sounds lovely! DADGAD with the bottom 3 strings down 1 full step!
* 2 lower strings
@@guitaristssuck8979 No! "The bottom strings" refers to the lowest sounding strings
@@musik102 that's what exactly what "lower strings" means 😆 also because the bottom of the guitar would be the side that lays on your belly, since the top is the one with the pickguard 😁
@@guitaristssuck8979 Oh dear.
@@guitaristssuck8979 You're very confused!
Thank you for the great lesson!
A very good tune it is CGCGAD so i find news ideas to play this open tuning thank you
Where can I find Chords for cgdgad ...
Aaaah, never though about tuning down the high e, I mostly tuned my guitar like this to get the double triads. Imma have tuh try that.
Very sweet!!
My hero!
nice tuning but wow that guitar sounds amazing!
That guitar sounds HUGE. It's rare for me to be mesmerized by a guitar's tone just from a video. Is that a Traugott?
Hi! Yes it's a Traugott R model - some instrument info comes up at the 3:02 mark. Thanks!
Thanks! I had missed that because I was listening more than watching. I recognized the headstock and bridge as Traugott. Man, what a guitar.
Very similar to nick drake CGCFCE tuning for songs like “Pink Moon”
Hey Al, what is the bridge string space on this guitar is it 2"1/4 for finger picking
Yes, the string spacing on this one is 2.25". Thanks!
amazing!
Gonna try it out!
So cool, thanks for taking the time.
Excellent.......
These tuning is well suited for Chinese guqin harmonics? I'm leaving the same boring old open tuning now.
Very good lesson, thank you. . Can I ask you please.. what microphones you use for these recordings ? What a great sound.
👍🎸🎹🎼
Al Petteway um grande mestre...muito bom tenho aprendido muito...
What string gauge did you use sir?
"as Long as you don,t hit THE wrong note" 😁
How do you stop buzzing strings.?.
Using a heavier guage string will sometimes help. Just be careful and watch the tension when you tune it back up to standard pitch.
@@DreamGuitars thank you.
@@DreamGuitars do you use longer scale (25.5") for tuning down this low?
Nice. I am doing a lot in a similar tuning. Martin Carthy's CGCDGA, I wonder did you need to compensate at the nut for the low C? Perhaps you are not using heavy strings ?
Thanks
I wonder if that guitar has a slightly longer scale.
Thanks.
What is the thickest gauge string on that guitar? Awesome tuning.
😓broke my A string trying to make it a C😓
🔥🔥🔥
Found this tuning form being lazy when tuning to open C. I was lazy and didn't tune the 2 highest strings to C and E and kept them as A and D when I was in D standard.
cool // :-) thanks
That’s a beautiful open C major 5th 9th tuning, I think.
C sic?
lol
Great advice...dont hit the wrong note and youll be ok...I wonder if John Fahey knew that.....
Thnx Al.... Follow you for Facebook !
Thump UP
4:50- 4:56
0:52
All alternative tunings are at least soporific. You smile 1 hour and after you sleep.
or one can go: D A D A B E, much less tuning involved...
Not as metal without the drop C, tho \mm/
I like C sick
wow i didn't know gary oldman could play guitar too lol
Try calling it'Dave Evans' tuning? He invented it!
Max Cuthbert Which Dave Evans? Fascinating info... Would love to know more. Thanks!
@@Black_Swan777 This one,although,I got it wrong ; he originated CGDGAD- my bad. Dave's still worth checking out tho.ruclips.net/video/8nkXkM3_Wcg/видео.html&ab_channel=BristolRon
It should be called the IOMMI tuning.
Why not start with a demo of what it sounds like instead of making us sit through an intro. YT vids are always bass ackwards.
More mono- tonal chords and droning notes 👎🏻
