    CHAPTERS:
    0:00 welcome and Why am I doing this video?
    01:07 #1 drop D
    01:42 PRO TIP: use this to lean into baritone territory
    04:48 time for an embarrassing story!
    06:05 #2 OTHER drop D
    09:31 #3 DOUBLE drop D
    10:14 PRO TIP: think of this tuning as a power chord on the bottom and open G on the top
    13:17 - these drop D tunings work when playing in keys other than D (like G or C)!
    13:56 #4 Raise the G to G#
    18:13 #5 These tunings, along with standard, work just fine a 1/2 step or whole step down
    18:28 - EXAMPLE: standard tuning down a whole step
    20:25 - EXAMPLE: drop D a whole step down (drop C!)
    23:02 - EXAMPLE: DOUBLE drop D a whole step down (double drop C!)
    25:07 - I hope this has been helpful!

    Alternate tunings are great. It's like falling in love all over again. Taking what was once familiar and making it foreign. Forcing you to explore new voicings and fingerings. Don't be afraid. Experiment, make mistakes, have fun, learn and be creative.

    Guess this was officially my intervention for overusing 10ths lol. Love this!! Was just looking for a little inspiration this week and this definitely added a new tool to the toolkit - even if it’s just bringing an extra guit tuned a half step down for some songs

  • @musicmann1967
    @musicmann1967 Год назад +2

    I haven't really messed with tuning except maybe droppedd D sometimes. That "other" dropped D is something I will IMMEDIATELY use. I can hear that in some of my songs for sure. (OKay, now I'm watching the rest of the video!! Haha)

  • @wooferdevlin3571
    @wooferdevlin3571 Год назад +1

    Cool look, the amber light goes with the ES- which is a babe. I use 10-52s for D, 11-56 C, and 12-60 B, for stability. Try raising the the fifth string from A to B = open Em7 chord. Fifth fret barre is the 4th, 7th fret= fifth and so on. Raise 3rd string for maior- it's a hoot. Great playing- touch and feel. I subbed. ♫

  • @vitalogy62389
    @vitalogy62389 Год назад +8

    Fantastic stuff Justin! Definitely essential for anyone playing in a modern country/Americana setting. Another interesting and reasonably simple one is tuning the low E and A down to C and G respectively. That’s a John Leventhal trick to get some different ideas flowing.

    • @JustinOstrander
      @JustinOstrander  Год назад +7

      Man I love that one. I do all sorts of weird stuff. Open G but with a low C is another example. The ones in this video are what I thought would be the most accessible. Cheers!

  • @owlmeetscatofficialpage593
    @owlmeetscatofficialpage593 Год назад +1

    Been using alternate tunings for 30 plus years, if not more. I always struggle with one guitar when playing live as I hating having to retune and I feel like I am wasting my punters time while I do it. I don't have the gift that some do that can chat while they tune. Having two guitars to take to gigs makes that easier, but also more of a hassle carrying the gear. In my studio I always have at least one acoustic and one electric tuned to open f, c#, OR D. It's so inspirational when you get stuck with song ideas in standard tuning. This is a great channel, glad I found it. Your tone is exquisite.

    • @JonNewquist

    Hi Justin, 1st time watching your channel and I immediately hit the Subscribe and like after a few minutes in, great (and calm) delivery of the material and it showed me a few new tricks and reinforced some things as well. For me, DADGAD and double drop D are my favorite alternate tunings, and as you pointed out, once you are in double drop D, it’s an easy thing to go into open G by tuning the A string down to G. Also the chord shapes are very similar for DADGAD, Double Drop D and open G, so you can get familiar with all 3 of those tunings and have fun exploring and coming up with ideas that I would never have in standard E tuning. Thanks for the well thought out dive on this, I look forward to seeing more of your videos… 🤘🏼

Excellent topics from guitar techniques, equipment and even health tips. I really enjoy your playing style and endless tips on recording and the methods you use. Love this video on tunings and can't wait to give some of these a go to add some different textures to my own songs. I would love to see you do a video on slide guitar. You have mentioned you use 10's and I'd love to learn more on your approach to playing slide with light gauge strings. Keep up the great work on your channel, I truly appreciate your time and talent.
