Hi, how you doing? Justin here.

2
00:00:06,657 --> 00:00:10,636
Today, I'm going to show you how to get 
your guitar into Open E Tuning.

3
00:00:10,839 --> 00:00:16,608
Now, Open D Tuning and Open E Tuning
are the same tuning, just a tone apart.

4
00:00:16,875 --> 00:00:20,875
The difference is that to get to Open D
Tuning, you're tuning a lot of notes down.

5
00:00:21,263 --> 00:00:24,653
But to get to Open E Tuning, 
you're tuning a few notes up.

6
00:00:24,653 --> 00:00:27,973
Which is a little riskier as far as 
breaking strings and stuff goes.

7
00:00:27,975 --> 00:00:34,708
So normally if-if I was playing in Open E,
I would tune down to Open D Tuning

8
00:00:34,748 --> 00:00:37,733
and put a capo on the 2nd fret,
and then I'm in Open E.

9
00:00:37,823 --> 00:00:39,679
But I'll show you how to get to Open E,

10
00:00:39,679 --> 00:00:42,344
just in case there's a song
you're doing that's using it,

11
00:00:42,344 --> 00:00:43,487
you'll wanna sus it out.

12
00:00:43,487 --> 00:00:51,149
So the tuning for Open E will be
E-B-E-G#-B-E.

13
00:00:51,197 --> 00:00:53,967
So the thickest string and 
the thinnest two strings,

14
00:00:54,216 --> 00:00:56,370
are gonna stay exactly the same.

15
00:00:56,498 --> 00:01:01,111
First thing we have to do is tune the
A string up one tone to the note B.

16
00:01:01,151 --> 00:01:04,521
Easiest way to do that is to play 
a harmonic at the 12th fret,

17
00:01:04,615 --> 00:01:06,465
and then an open B string.

18
00:01:08,773 --> 00:01:09,793
Okay? Shouldn't be...

19
00:01:12,833 --> 00:01:15,960
...it's not a huge kind of a tune that 
one, just up a tone.

20
00:01:16,767 --> 00:01:20,767
Now we've gotta tune the open D string
up a tone to the note E.

21
00:01:20,933 --> 00:01:24,933
So, again we're gonna use the, uh, 
harmonic at the 12th fret of the D string,

22
00:01:24,933 --> 00:01:26,733
with the thinnest E string.

23
00:01:36,094 --> 00:01:37,584
That's pretty good so far.

24
00:01:41,667 --> 00:01:49,255
Now we've got to get our, uh, G string 
up a semitone to the note G#. Okay?

25
00:01:49,255 --> 00:01:53,525
Now to do that, because we've already
tuned our D string a little bit,

26
00:01:53,525 --> 00:01:57,946
We're gonna use the 4th fret of the
D string, or the fourth string,

27
00:01:58,018 --> 00:02:00,748
and that will be our note G#.

28
00:02:03,266 --> 00:02:05,411
It's just a little one, 
it's only a semitone.

29
00:02:08,837 --> 00:02:09,937
Okay? And we've got it.

30
00:02:09,937 --> 00:02:11,717
So, 4th fret of the fourth string...

31
00:02:12,203 --> 00:02:13,761
...will get the open G string.

32
00:02:14,212 --> 00:02:16,382
We're tuning the G up to the note G#.

33
00:02:16,392 --> 00:02:20,104
Now, as usual, open tunings you gotta 
have a little bit of a tweak at the end.

34
00:02:24,496 --> 00:02:27,026
Well, you usually do,
that's pretty damn near perfect.

35
00:02:40,501 --> 00:02:43,006
It's a beautiful tuning, 
Open D and Open E.

36
00:02:43,006 --> 00:02:46,003
Lovely, lots of fun, 
great fun with slide guitar as well.

37
00:02:46,003 --> 00:02:49,843
So, definitely a fun one to explore, if
you're checking out like "Gimme Shelter"

38
00:02:49,843 --> 00:02:52,993
or something like that, a lot of those 
Stones songs are in Open E.

39
00:02:52,993 --> 00:02:54,756
Uh... great tuning, great tuning.

40
00:02:54,756 --> 00:02:56,611
Hope you have lots of fun exploring it,

41
00:02:56,611 --> 00:02:59,471
and I'll see you for plenty more
songs and lessons very soon.

42
00:02:59,471 --> 00:03:01,011
Take care of yourselves,
bye-bye.
