Open tunings offer guitarists an opportunity for a fresh new view of the instrument and an expansion of their creative options. From Open D to tuning in fourths, here are more than 20 of the most common open tunings. With a tuning diagram, diagrams for the most common chords, and scales shown in notation and tablature for each tuning, this book is a handy reference for everyday use. You also get tips on how to transpose songs to other keys, an explanation of chord symbols, the basic chords in standard tuning and a chord/scale chart showing you which scales to play over the most commonly used chords.

This is a nice little book it will fit into your gig bag etc. It contains a comprehensive list of tunings and relevant scales, and a brief description of who uses them and for what type of music, well worth the money.

This little tome pretty much has it all (including a good price). I haven't seen any other similar product that does it any better. If you want to wade into alternate tunings -- a good place to start. I keep it as a reference for when I want to try different variations and expand on my standard patterns. Recommended.

Open tunings can be confusing but very rewarding to play. This book is simple cheap and superb! It shows how to tune an open tuning, and four scales: major, minor, major pentatonic, minor pentatonic score and tab. It takes it to utterly simple form, but enhances playability tremendously by taking scale guesswork out with clear diagrams. Gibson Robot owners will benefit tremendously from this book.
