Feel like you're in a guitar rut? Maybe you're craving a fresh perspective to ignite your creativity? Try using banjo tuning, specifically open G tuning. Seriously! In this video, we're starting from scratch—taking your guitar from standard tuning to open G tuning. And don't worry, I'll guide you through each string's pitch so you can get the tuning just right. Once we're in tune, we dive into the heart of this lesson—exploring three magical chord shapes you can use in open G tuning. I'm going to walk you through the barre-chord shape, the stairstep shape, and the reverse stairstep shape. You'll learn how to play major and minor chords with them, opening up a whole new realm of sonic possibilities! Next up, we're focusing on scale shapes in open G tuning. Understanding scale shapes is essential for riff creation, songwriting, and simply jamming out in this vibrant and versatile tuning. This episode isn't just about learning a new tuning, though. It's about broadening your horizons as a musician. Learning how to play another instrument, like a banjo in this case, can significantly improve your guitar playing. It unlocks new sonic patterns and presents new ways of approaching your guitar.

You can learn to play music using a variety of resources including teachers, online resources, and books. Hal Leonard's "Fingerstyle Guitar" is a solid method book aimed at beginner, intermediate, and advanced guitar players who want to learn to play solo fingerstyle guitar arrangements complete with melody, bass lines, and inner harmony. It also has a chapter focused on accompaniment styles for those players looking to play fingerstyle guitar and sing (or accompany another melody instrument. This book ranges in difficulty from easy to hard, often within each chapter. 1) Good information about choosing an acoustic guitar and other gear. 2) Good fingerstyle arpeggiation and alternating bass patterns followed by musical application of those patterns. Unfortunately, the musical applications are often disconnected from each other (they don't build on each other and there isn't much explanation). 3) Introduces all the elements of playing fingerstyle guitar. Melody, bass, inner harmony, arpeggiation, alternating bass, special techniques, introduction to alternate tunings. 4) Probably the best popular repertoire of any method book on the market. Hal Leonard presents popular tunes from the Beatles, Bob Dylan, James Taylor, etc. You could buy the book just for the repertoire. 5) Wonderful chapter on arranging for fingerstyle guitar. 6) Audio Access included. Personally, I don't like how the book teaches alternate tunings. It basically gives you a bunch of chord charts and a few examples for Open G tuning. They do a slightly better job of discussing Drop D tuning. It would have been nice if they had arranged “Silent Night” (the focus of Chapter 4) in each of these tunings so that you got a sense of why you might want to use them. Obviously, each alternate tuning causes the melody to lay out differently on the fretboard, and each alt tuning gives you different access to bass notes, inner harmony, harmonics, etc. Although the book does introduce percussive string slaps, for the most part it does not get into the modern percussive techniques used by modern players like Michael Hedges, Don Ross, Andy McKee, Mike Dawes, etc. No guitar body percussion or tapping. Hal Leonard's “Fingerstyle Guitar” covers a lot of ground and you could return to it for years. You could buy it just for the great repertoire. However, as a method book, I'd first recommend Alfred's “Beginning Fingerstyle Guitar Method, and if you are into the alternate bass style then maybe Mel Bay's “Chet Atkins Guitar Method.” Acoustic steel string or classical nylon string guitar.

This episode is a quick riff on a massive tip for those with an undefined or open G center on how to get grounded without just relying on controlling their environment or the people they're around. Though this episode is a quickie compared to usual - it's highly recommended you take the time to journal after to implement the shared wisdom!

Whilst being sick with Covid again, my Heart had things to share, who would have thought?
Ik kreeg vorige week de vraag van een deelnemer die aangaf haar baan wel leuk te vinden, maar het gevoel te hebben dat er misschien iets anders op haar wachtte. Ze was op zoek naar haar grotere purpose. Vervolgens vroeg ik haar of haar G-centrum wel of niet gedefinieerd is. In deze podcastaflevering leg ik uit wat dat met elkaar te maken heeft.
Today's episode is continuing our mini-series on exploring the open/undefined centers in your Human Design chart. We have the lovely Jen Thayne join us to explore the G-Center, Ego, and Sacral Centers. First and foremost, we advise you to learn and understand your Type and Authority and then begin to focus on one open center at a time. G-Center (love and direction): When your G-Center is defined, you have a fixed and reliable identity, and you have the ability to love yourself and others without feeling dependent on them. When you have an open/undefined (white on your chart), place is incredibly important to you. If you are not in the correct place, you cannot thrive and you may move around a lot to find your place. Ego (willpower): when your Ego Center is open/undefined, you may feel the pressure to prove or improve yourself around others. Lean and trust that everything you need will come to you and be presented to you. Surrender and trust that what is supposed to come to you will come. Sacral (life force): When your Sacral Center is open/undefined, you may feel a buzz from someone that has a defined sacral. You may feel pressured to work work work, but unfortunately, you will burn out. Allow the rest you need or it will manifest physically in your body.

De-Ge-De-Ge or Te-Ke-Te-Ke or Du-Gu-Du-Gu or Tu-Ku-Tu-Ku what is the right way to double tongue? Part 1 or 4 - In 'Talking Flutes' this week, Clare and Jean-Paul begin the process of answering all the flute playing questions that you've been sending in. "How do you double and triple tongue may seem an easy question to those who can do it but to young flute players, learning to do it is completely dependent on so many factors. Clare also speaks up about her love for the Open G# mechanism and why so many principal orchestral flute players still use this system.

Nick Drake tuning? Open G? Unlock new sounds on your guitar by exploring the 5 alternate tunings that changed acoustic guitar history today! ★ What kind of guitar player are you? How should you practice? Take the quiz today: https://tonypolecastro.com/★ Get the show: https://tonypolecastro.com/get-acoustic-tuesday★ FOLLOW on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tac.guitar/ Alternate tunings on acoustic guitar can truly expand your sonic vocabulary. If you're feeling fatigued or tired of playing the same things, spend some time exploring one of the 5 alternate tunings I offer in this episode of Acoustic Tuesday. You get a chance to hear very popular tunings like DADGAD and Open D Maj while also learning how to play on the fretboard with them. With each alternate tuning, I'll provide some basic chords or picking patterns that can be used with each alternate tuning. Each one of these alternate tunings can take your guitar playing to places it has never been before. And that's a good thing! Hearing your instrument make new sounds you didn't think were possible is truly inspirational! In addition to exploring alternate tunings on acoustic guitar, I also want to share with you the inspirational story of a veteran who overcame PTSD by learning to play guitar — oh, and he went on to teach other veterans how to play guitar, too! Last but not least, you'll get my roundup of the latest headlines in the acoustic guitar world. This week, we'll take a look at three different YouTube series that are designed for guitar geeks of all interests!

Sacral and Root are the two squares at the bottom center of your Human Design chart. The Sacral center is the main motor, the generator of the life force energy that creates the world; if you have the Sacral center defined (it would be colored in), you are a Generator HD type. The Root is one of the two pressure centers in Human Design; it represents the pressure to evolve and adapt, the source of adrenaline, and the controller of stress. All non-energy types (Reflectors, Projectors, and Manifestors) will have their Sacral center undefined (white) and may have an undefined or defined Root. In this episode, I share my experience of living with both of these centers undefined or open. I will talk about learning to handle stress and pressure, work attitude transformation, how I am learning to rest without stressing, and more. This is the 3rd episode in our series on the personal experience and exploration of individual centers in their defined and undefined states; check out the Open G and Defined Solar Plexus episodes!

Three segments (so far) of me messing around and jamming in the open G tuning, "DGDGBD". Also I wrote a snippet of a song.
G center in Human Design is responsible for the sense of love and direction. It is also the primary source of all the energy that circulates through the chart. In this episode, I share my experience of living with an undefined G center (I have a single hanging gate coming of off my G: gate 10), the pitfalls and wisdom of an open G, as well as specific details on each of the gates and how they affect the way one processes incoming information. This is the second episode in our series on the personal experience and exploration of individual centers in their defined and undefined states; I have already covered open Solar Plexus. In the upcoming episodes, we will talk about open Sacral and Root.

Hot beans! In Episode 13 we're revealing the full story behind Andy's new DC Junior in Ferris Blue - full disclosure on a paint job gone wrong. We also discuss the brand new Jared Dines signature model and why only a fraction of his fans will be able to get it. Lastly, Dan is serenading in Open G to celebrate Andy's New Guitar Day. Enjoy!
Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zHvJTDgPM8 In this lesson, I bring to Dan my Epiphone ES-335 Pro with its upgraded pedals (courtesy of Pedro Martins - Brighton Guitar Repairs, https://guitarrepairsbrighton.com/), my PRS and my pedalboard. I spent quite a lot of this lesson without the camera rolling looking at these pedals and checking out my Gibson J45 which Pedro has also done an excellent job of setting up. We then set the camera rolling, which is a new video camera that I hope will improve the quality of the picture, and I ask Dan to go through some of the sounds which I should be aiming for in an upcoming gig my band and I are doing for my friend's 50th birthday. As always, much of what Dan tells me is stuffed with loads of gems and nuggets and a lot of the general rationale behind music over time and a consideration of what was available then. At just before 36 mins in, we swap my PRS for my Epiphone ES-335 with the Iron Gear Blues Engines (http://www.irongear.co.uk/irongear_pickups_006.htm). Dan gives it a go, but unhelpfully it's in Open G for my Stones parts. I show Dan what I do for Tumbling Dice and Jumpin Jack Flash and we look at the sound which the new pickups give it - pretty much straight away gaining a good tone for those songs. While Dan explains about effects and technologies over time I re-tune the guitar to standard tuning and finally Dan gives it a proper play to hear the different sounds available to it. It seems like a very impressive improvement to this guitar and I couldn't recommend Pedro Martins' work strongly enough. All the best, Dan and Gary https://tunein-toneup.com/ https://soundcloud.com/tunein-toneup
