Hey, I'm not sure which open tuneing Richie havens uses but I believe he has a great explanatory section with instructions at his website for open E. He mostly bars with his thumb. Sorry, got to go to work. No time to check. |

Actually it's open-D tuning that Keith got into. Street Fighting Man, Jumping Jack Flash & Child of the Moon are all Open-D tuning.

Keith definitely got into both. He plays in open D on Child of the Moon, but things like Prodigal Son are most definitely in open E. I'm a real big fan of the tunings myself (E is essentially the same as D; if you tune down to D, put a capo on the second fret for open E), as I'm a songwriter and love to try out new things on the fretboard. There are some sites out there that can teach you - my best advice is to A) look at www.dylanchords.com and go to the Blood on the Tracks page; that's where I learned a lot of tricks; and B) learn some open G licks. If you know open G, open E and D are a breeze, as are a hell of a lot of Stones tunes!
Hope that helps! |

Yesterday for the first time I tried Stray Cat Blues in open D . Wow! It really makes a difference. Much more 'ringing' - especially with a Telecaster. Gonna try JJF and YCAGWYW now. |
