Open D tuning played on a Martin D-42 LE from 1988 - just the chords to show the Martin's tone.

  • This is great! Thanks for showing me how to play this awesome song. I also love just pressing the 0 (zero) key over and over and over. Classic!

  • @MsKonkeyDong Thanks for the comment - once you have the tuning, it's really not that hard.

  • wow your D-42 has D-45 inlays! what gauge strings do you use?

  • Hi Edward

    I use Elixir 11-52 strings on all my guitars. I don't own this one any more - I part-exed it for the Andy Manson Jumbo you can see me playing in other videos.

  • Wow :D

  • Easy to do really - put the guitar in Open D tuning (DADF#AD) and use the barre plus string 5 2 frets above the barre for the 'vamp' and use an Dm shape across the strings for the high bits. You can do that.

  • Awesome!

    You have just earned yourself a fan!

    I have no idea how you managed that without a capo.

    Miracles.

  • Lol why does this look like its from the 80's or something

  • really awsome but you missed out some of the song.

  • Thanks - I'm pleased and surprised in equal measure. I only did it the 'thrash' that Martin really heavily.
