Designed for guitarists looking to expand their chord vocabulary, improve their understanding of alternative tunings and discover new sounds, this book introduces two of the most widely used open tunings with clear guidance for learning, practice and musical exploration.

Inside, you will find 312 chord shapes covering open D and open G guitar, along with useful advice on tuning and string set-up to help achieve reliable results. The book also includes music scores for four songs that demonstrate open tuning chord shapes in context, plus a glossary of favourite chords and recommended listening that encourages further musical exploration.
