@danielc121162 I also play mostly in Open G and DADGAD when I'm not in standard. The interesting thing about the D based tunings is that you can switch very easily from one to another just by changing the 3rd string : DADGAD, DADF#AD (Maj), DADFAD (Min), DADEAD, DADDAD and even DADAAD (though it's better to tune to C for this (CGCGGC), otherwise you're putting a lot on tension on the 3rd string. You can probably do the same in Open G by changing the 2nd string, but I've never really tried.

@LiteGauge thanks fro the reply I play some open G stuff and it kinda sounded like an open G to me,...glad you explained all that to me

@danielc121162 @danielc121162 Definitely Open D - DADF#AD. I'm playing the IV chord 020100 not 002010. The tunings are structurally very simillar R5R35R (Open D - DADF#AD) rather than 5R5R35 (Open G - DGDGBD). Open C is R5R5R3 (CGCGCE). Open D has the 3rd scale tone on the 3rd string, with Open G it's on the 2nd string, Open C on the 1st. Chords looks identical because the chords are simply shifted one string across the fretboard. The tunings have a very different colour tho'.

Nicely done, you sure that isn't Open G tuning,... in any case really enjoyed your cover of a really cool Donovan song

@danielc121162 If you watch the live video of Donovan on the right, you'll see that he's in Open tuning with the capo on the 2nd fret. The difference between our versions is that he's flat-picking and I'm finger-picking. With the capo on the 2nd fret, it changes the key to E of course.
