Variations D-A-D-F ♯-A-C ♯, Open Dmaj7 tuning Mitski uses this tuning for almost all the songs, while guitarists performing with her live often use standard tuning. Additionally, Switchfoot uses this tuning on the track "Daisy" from its 2005 album Nothing Is Sound, albeit lowered a half step (giving an open D ♭ tuning with the same intervalic relationships as open D). Also, Alessio Frusta uses this tuning on the track "Freedom Island" from his 2015 album Pen Siero. Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine uses this tuning and its variations on many songs.

#JERRYS GUITAR BAR FULL#
The full range of major and minor chords, with all their extensions, are available to the player. It can offer a strong compositional element that produces tonal qualities markedly different from standard tuning. Many new chord shapes and sounds are available with open D tuning. The full and vibrant sound it produces - particularly on an acoustic guitar - also makes it ideal for fingerstyle playing. This tuning is also used in regular (non-slide) guitar playing. Open D tuning is very popular with slide guitar (or 'bottleneck') players, as it allows them to play complete chords using the slide. This means that any major chord can be easily created using one finger, fretting all the strings at once (also known as barring) for example, fretting all the strings at the second fret will produce an E major, at the third fret an F major, and so on up the neck. In this tuning, when the guitar is strummed without fretting any of the strings, a D major chord is sounded. To tune a guitar from standard tuning to open D tuning, lower the 1st (high-E) string down a full step to D, 2nd (B) string down a full step to A, 3rd (G) string down a half step to F ♯, and 6th (low-E) string down a full step to D. It uses the three notes that form the triad of a D major chord: D, the root note A, the perfect fifth and F ♯, the major third. The open string notes in this tuning are (from lowest to highest): D A D F ♯ A D. Open D tuning is an open tuning for the acoustic or electric guitar.
