The Blues Guitar

On this site I will post a number of tabs of various blues tunes. I will post them not only in pdf format but also in power tab format. Power Tab is a tab editor package which was created many years ago by Brad Larsen. Although the software is quite old and no longer updated I still find it to be one of the best tab editors out there for the type of music I play and write.

One of the most commonly used alternate tunings is that of Open D. The tuning is used across many different styles of guitar music but most commonly it is used in blues and folk music. How to tune to Open D Open D tuning tunes the strings of the guitar so that when all the strings are played open it forms a D Major chord. The D Major chord is formed from the three notes which make up the D Major triad, these are the 1st, 3rd and 5th notes of the D Major scale, which are D, F# and A respectively. Thus, each of the guitar strings in open D tuning will be tuned to one of these three notes.

Introduction In this blog, I will look at different types of guitars out there. However, instead of doing individual reviews of specific makes and models I will initially just look at the different styles of guitar available and some of the pro's and con's of each when playing this type of music.
