I am going to do another Metal Muff demo ASAP, but the other day I received a PM from an up and coming rapper - Miss Nana - and figured I would try to introduce the rap artist to American blues music. Hopefully she can incorporate bluesy chord changes into the rap song structure and come up with a hybrid style of rap all her own.

The beauty of open tuning is the ease of playing major chords. Also, it reveals the importance of learning note locations, intervals and scales all over the fretboard and not "blues boxes." For example, even with standard tuning, playing a minor 3rd in the context of a blues riff is essential and how can that be accomplished with a pinky, the weakest finger, usually, on a humanoid?
