Open tunings are used by many guitarists to produce unique chord voicings, incorporate melodies into guitar parts, and spur creativity by changing the arrangement of notes on the fretboard. In this tutorial, instructor Rob Schumann shows you how to tune a guitar to Open E and form chords out of E major that combine with open string drones to create a distinctive open sound. For a challenge, try the fingerstyle arrangement that Rob demonstrates at the end of the segment.
