Lessons with Steve #2 - Open C Tuning for lap-style guitar

[@01zedsdeadbaby]

Oh Steve - you are my new favourite Weissenborn guy! I’m lovin’ this new tuning. Thanks mate 👍

[@JanCoelus]

Steve you're a genius! Love it!

[@johnjett1192]

Just started using open C when I Tried to play, Ground on Down and Keep it Together by Ben Harper. Love the tuning It's got a hell of a growl to it.

[@johnjett1192]

Also I put the first string in E I'll have to try D

[@JimmyBrobeck]

Thanks for this generous lesson. I'll be re-tuning my old La Foley hollowneck today to explore the CGCGCD world of slide.

[@SteveDawsonYT]

Glad you dug it!

[@donnacasey4255]

Exploring this today on my weisenborn, thanks!

[@SteveDawsonYT]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mikeddolphin]

Sweet sounds! Love the chord variety, with keeping 1st and 2nd strings open.

This is a revelation for me. Thanks! A really smart tuning to help the maj/min lottery when improvising with others. Good calm video too.

[@SteveDawsonYT]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!

Definitely going to try C tuning on my own Weissenborn which is now tuned dobro GBDGBD. Thanks for the intro. Looking forward to your upcoming Penticton show.

[@SteveDawsonYT]

Thanks! See you there.

Thanks for this Steve. I learned a fingerstyle tune in open C on acoustic last year but never thought about trying it on dobro. Very nice on it too.

[@SteveDawsonYT]

Thanks!

[@TonuTimm]

Intriguing:) Good to know dimensions of the strings there?

[@SteveDawsonYT]

It’s a medium set with the high string swapped for a 15 or 16.

This is great! Do you offer online lessons on Weissenborn? I have specific needs and directions, need a little guidance, probably 2-3 max.

[@SteveDawsonYT]

I teach a little. Not so much anymore, but you can reach me through www.stevedawson.ca
