Eric’s Playtime Series # 17 – Playing in Open D

Uncategorized
This song is played on my “work guitar” in Open D tuning. I keep this guitar at work.
This video was shot in 2019 but I was just playing a tune just like this one yesterday (2024). Some tunes stick in your head and keep re-appearing! I just love going from the One chord to the two.

So powerful. Oh. And I also love harmonized sixths.

I remember the day I discovered harmonizing double stops. Suddenly what they were doing in Brown Eyed Girl made sense. I started hearing this technique is so many songs. It changed me as a writer and as a player.

I apply this technique at about 1:20 in the video as well as in the chords being played throughout. I hope you enjoy the video.
