yes thats right.mark wrote:That's a good idea. Correct me if I'm wrong, Mark, but if you have more than one guitar and want to practice a song from time to time in open E, you could safely leave one guitar in open D tuning (for as long as you like) and capo the second fret as you said. That way, you won't have to change from standard tuning every time you wanted to practice that particular song.If you are worried about the tension of having the guitar in open E, you could always play it in Open D (with the capo on the 2nd Fret). Open D and Open E are the same tuning just with Open E tuned a whole step higher.
I had noticed that Terry hadn't been around. Glad to see he's back. I'd like to see another video of his soon. It's been too long.Hi Terry! Thanks for the comments and good to hear from you again. I read on someone's wall that you are on the mend? Great news.
I did see that chord that you mentioned, placing your hand OVER the neck of the guitar. It surely looks odd, but it sounds great, and it's easy to play. No doubt a technical purist would object to that particular technique, as you suggested. Anyway, I'm making slow progress on it. Worked on it a bit today. By the way, it's impossible to sing.There's actually a cooler way of playing it that I saw on the net that involves bringing your hand/index finger up over the top of the guitar and only playing the top 4 strings. I'm sure that's probably pretty high on Neil's 'What NOT to do list', so I avoided doing that.
