Looks like an"olsen" guitar no?

[DougYoungGuitar]

James Olson (with an "o")? No, I'm using a Ryan and two Claxton's.

super lesson......thanks so much Doug...opens up new worlds of creativity..beautifuly explained...I'm off to subscribe to you!

If memory serves me (doubtful), I've heard EADEAE referred to as A-pipe tuning - probably because it put the guitar into the same key as the Scottish Highland bagpipes - which are actually in Bb.

Somebody more knowledgeable could probably explain this better.

lovely lesson, Doug is great.

i never thought of it as Dsus4 but makes sense use DGA ss the triad. does anyone know any songs with the Em7 tuning EGDGBE???

[jslewis79]

Great great tutorial. There are normally two terms in guitar that bring fear to me: fretless and alternate tunings. I've had fun playing in alt tunings, but with the general udnerstanding that they sound good and I have no idea what I'll be playing, which is frustrating to me. These analogies between them are great. I love dadgad and orkney, so was happy to find this info out! Thanks

Thank you so much for sharing. I experiment a lot with different tunings and partial capo so I really enjoy your gifted comments.

I am also mesmerized by the sound of your wonderful guitar!

Best regards
