Heya everyone!
I put this video together to share what I know about the "mi-composé tuning for the guitar.
Despite it being such a great tuning, I've not seen much documentation on youtube, so I wanted to contribute as best I can.
This tuning is commonly found in "soukous" music, usually played by the rhythm guitar player.
I first came across this tuning during my lessons with the great Lokassa Ya Mbongo, where he saw me struggling with certain soukous rhythmic phrases that I had worked out in standard tuning. One explained to me, they all became much easier to play and much more natural as a style.
So in the video I just want to outline the advantages I've found in this tuning for both the left and right hand, as well as the open D string. I've also put in an exercise based on my tune "sing for the moment" - written in the mi-composé tuning and that you can try for yourself to find out some other elements when playing in this style.
I've put another video on my youtube channel explaining why I chose to play my "Afri-can" guitar for this tutorial, but don't worry - you can tune any guitar to the mi-composé tuning!
Thanks as always to the great Lokassa Ya Mbongo for teaching me this great tuning, and of course thanks as always to Mr.Scott Shuster!

Explaining why I chose to use the Afri-Can guitar to demonstrate the mi-composé tuning tutorial.
I often get asked alot of questions about the guitar itself, so just wanted to explain! It is a great sounding instrument and I love the fact that from rubbish (or garbage for our USA viewers) anyone can make an instrument for themselves!
Check out the Afri-Can guitars - http://www.africanguitars.co.uk/
Enjoy the video "exploring the Mi-Composé tuning on the guitar"
