Book excerpt: For many beginning-to-intermediate level guitarists, guitar tunings are a mystery. Everyone begins with "standard" tuning and knows its basic strengths - and limitations. But, once a guitarist gets beyond basic skills, the desire to play in different styles and achieve individual sounds leads inevitably to exploring alternate tunings. Guitar Tunings: A Comprehensive Guide is the first book to offer practical advice for how to use the most common special tunings for the greatest creative and musical effect. Illustrated throughout with examples in standard notation and guitar tablature, the author introduces different musical styles through the use of appropriate tunings. Including downloadable resources, this book gives clear and concise instruction for the guitarist who has mastered basic skills but wants to go beyond them. It will appeal to guitar students of all ages, and can be used for individual self-instruction or in one-on-one or group teaching situations. In short, Guitar Tunings: A Comprehensive Guide offers a comprehensive approach for all guitarists to enhance their playing skills and creative music making. Also includes 75 musical examples.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tunings that differ from the standard EADGBE pattern have along and honorable history. From the pioneer blues-men to Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Bert Jansch, creative guitarists using unconventional tunings have been able to create unusual sounds, difficult or impossible in standard tuning. Until recently it was assumed that standard tuning was best for the beginner. But as Stefan Grossman points out, there are many other tunings which have special advantages: for example, there are open tunings, in which the strings are tuned to produce a complete chord, making the work of the left hand significantly easier. There are many that can immediately help the beginner feel more at home with the instrument. Whether you are an all-thumbs beginner, or an advanced guitarist looking for new scope, in The Book of Tunings Stefan Grossman shows you how to make the guitar’s adaptability work for you. The tunings are presented with right-hand fingerpicking techniques, and the songs are a wide assortment of blues, ballads, bottleneck dance tunes, and medieval instrumentals. The book includes a discography and bibliography, and a special theory section by Larry Sandberg.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celtic Flatpicking in Open D Guitar Tuning Tuning your guitar to DADF#AD or "Open D" compliments Celtic music brilliantly. The open tuning allows the strings to vibrate easily, creating drones and overlapped notes that sound reminiscent of a harp or bagpipe. The 30+ tunes represent a good selection of well-known Celtic session tunes including, jigs, reels, hornpipes, waltzes and songs. Each tune shows notation, tablature and chords. Some of the tunes are arranged with chords added in with the melody, while the faster tunes just have the melody line. Go to my website (KalymiMusic.com) to play along with the accompaniment tracks to help learn the tunes quickly. If you are new to this style, then check out my twelve useful tips for Flatpicking. There are also some examples of how to use ornamentation to further embellish the tunes. For further study in Open D, I have included a series of chord and arpeggio charts with fingerboard diagrams. These charts will help you learn the DADF#AD fingerboard and allow you to accompany in Open D with Major, Minor and Dominant 7th chords. Campanella (overlapping) scales in Major and Minor are given plus Mixolydian and Dorian modal scales, which are common in this style. Use these scales as a technical practice to help master the fingerboard and to help achieve a flowing legato-sound to authentically play the tunes. There is also a small selection of common chords in Open D, some Celtic strumming patterns in 4/4 and 6/8, and note charts and DADF#AD fingerboard charts. If you are new to reading tablature, there is a page on how to read tablature and how to read rhythms.
