Broaden your knowledge of the fingerboard and musical knowhow by learning to Play in the key of D Major from Open G Tuning (gDGBD). We'll look at full and partial chords around the neck, useful accompaniment patterns, scales, melodic fingering shapes, etc. Playing cross-tuning in this way can be useful in several ways - playing tunes that switch keys mid-stream; negotiating medleys with tunes in different keys; and participating effectively in Irish and Scottish jam sessions (where switching keys from tune to tune is the rule).
