Hi, how you doing? Justin here.

0:00:06.657,0:00:10.636
Today, I'm going to show you how to get [br]your guitar into Open E Tuning.

0:00:10.839,0:00:16.608
Now, Open D Tuning and Open E Tuning[br]are the same tuning, just a tone apart.

0:00:16.875,0:00:20.875
The difference is that to get to Open D[br]Tuning, you're tuning a lot of notes down.

0:00:21.263,0:00:24.653
But to get to Open E Tuning, [br]you're tuning a few notes up.

0:00:24.653,0:00:27.973
Which is a little riskier as far as [br]breaking strings and stuff goes.

0:00:27.975,0:00:34.708
So normally if-if I was playing in Open E,[br]I would tune down to Open D Tuning

0:00:34.748,0:00:37.733
and put a capo on the 2nd fret,[br]and then I'm in Open E.

0:00:37.823,0:00:39.679
But I'll show you how to get to Open E,

0:00:39.679,0:00:42.344
just in case there's a song[br]you're doing that's using it,

0:00:42.344,0:00:43.487
you'll wanna sus it out.

0:00:43.487,0:00:51.149
So the tuning for Open E will be[br]E-B-E-G#-B-E.

0:00:51.197,0:00:53.967
So the thickest string and [br]the thinnest two strings,

0:00:54.216,0:00:56.370
are gonna stay exactly the same.

0:00:56.498,0:01:01.111
First thing we have to do is tune the[br]A string up one tone to the note B.

0:01:01.151,0:01:04.521
Easiest way to do that is to play [br]a harmonic at the 12th fret,

0:01:04.615,0:01:06.465
and then an open B string.

0:01:08.773,0:01:09.793
Okay? Shouldn't be...

0:01:12.833,0:01:15.960
...it's not a huge kind of a tune that [br]one, just up a tone.

0:01:16.767,0:01:20.767
Now we've gotta tune the open D string[br]up a tone to the note E.

0:01:20.933,0:01:24.933
So, again we're gonna use the, uh, [br]harmonic at the 12th fret of the D string,

0:01:24.933,0:01:26.733
with the thinnest E string.

0:01:36.094,0:01:37.584
That's pretty good so far.

0:01:41.667,0:01:49.255
Now we've got to get our, uh, G string [br]up a semitone to the note G#. Okay?

0:01:49.255,0:01:53.525
Now to do that, because we've already[br]tuned our D string a little bit,

0:01:53.525,0:01:57.946
We're gonna use the 4th fret of the[br]D string, or the fourth string,

0:01:58.018,0:02:00.748
and that will be our note G#.

0:02:03.266,0:02:05.411
It's just a little one, [br]it's only a semitone.

0:02:08.837,0:02:09.937
Okay? And we've got it.

0:02:09.937,0:02:11.717
So, 4th fret of the fourth string...

0:02:12.203,0:02:13.761
...will get the open G string.

0:02:14.212,0:02:16.382
We're tuning the G up to the note G#.

0:02:16.392,0:02:20.104
Now, as usual, open tunings you gotta [br]have a little bit of a tweak at the end.

0:02:24.496,0:02:27.026
Well, you usually do,[br]that's pretty damn near perfect.

0:02:40.501,0:02:43.006
It's a beautiful tuning, [br]Open D and Open E.

0:02:43.006,0:02:46.003
Lovely, lots of fun, [br]great fun with slide guitar as well.

0:02:46.003,0:02:49.843
So, definitely a fun one to explore, if[br]you're checking out like "Gimme Shelter"

0:02:49.843,0:02:52.993
or something like that, a lot of those [br]Stones songs are in Open E.

0:02:52.993,0:02:54.756
Uh... great tuning, great tuning.

0:02:54.756,0:02:56.611
Hope you have lots of fun exploring it,

0:02:56.611,0:02:59.471
and I'll see you for plenty more[br]songs and lessons very soon.

0:02:59.471,0:03:01.011
Take care of yourselves,[br]bye-bye.
