Chords, Scales, Harmony & Creative Guitar Playing


Discover the creative possibilities of Open D tuning with this comprehensive 77-page guitar ebook.


Open D (D–A–D–F♯–A–D) offers a completely different approach to playing guitar. With the open strings forming a D major chord, simple finger movements can produce rich harmonies, beautiful chord voicings and sounds that might be difficult to achieve in standard tuning.


Rather than simply presenting a collection of chord diagrams, Understanding Open D Tuning explores how chords and scales relate to one another, helping you understand the fretboard and create your own musical ideas.


Inside the ebook, you'll explore:


  • A wide variety of Open D guitar chords, from simple shapes to more colourful extended harmonies.

  • Chords organised by musical key, making it easier to discover progressions that work together.

  • Scales and their relationship to chords in Open D tuning.

  • How to use open strings, drone notes and movable chord shapes.

  • Creative techniques for adding embellishments and developing your own playing style.


Whether you're new to alternate guitar tunings or already experimenting with Open D, this ebook will help you move beyond memorising chord shapes and develop a deeper understanding of how the tuning works.
