How to tune your guitar into Drop C (read description)
I show how to tune a standard tuned (EADGBE) guitar to Drop C.
First off, I make the 5th string (A) sound like the 3rd fret on the 6th string.
Then I tune…
…the 4th string to match the 5th fret on the 5th string.
…the 3rd string to match the 5th fret on the 4th string.
…the 2nd string to match the 4th fret on the 3rd string.
…the 1st string to match the 5th fret on the 2nd string.
…the 7th fret on the 6th string to match the 5th string.
The result is a Drop C tuning (CGCFAD).
I am sorry for the guitar, it’s not the most expensive one
Message me if you there’s something you don’t get.

***VIDEO LESSON SERIES 1 VESTAPOL TUNING OPEN D and E
CIGAR BOX guitar LESSONS INCLUDED
CD PLAYS ON YOUR COMPUTER & CONTAINS SHEET MUSIC FILE
BOTTLENECK SLIDE GUITAR is based on an early one string folk instrument called the Diddley-Bow, and the traditional playing style of Hawaiian Guitar. The early Blues Masters of the 1920s and 30s, would place a bottleneck from a wine bottle, or a short piece of metal pipe on their finger. Using this as a slide, they could move up and down along the strings of a guitar imitating singing or the cries and moans of the human voice. This style uses an early method of tuning the guitar called open tuning, that is also used to play banjo. The guitar is tuned to a D or E chord, that actually makes it easier to learn music theory. The course starts with learning to play single note melody lines on one string. Next, by adding a second note harmony is created. Then a third note creates chords. The final song is embellished by adding strumming techniques and bottleneck slide.
THIS CD WILL NOT ONLY TEACH YOU HOW TO PLAY BOTTLENECK GUITAR, BUT HOW TO CREATE AND ARRANGE SONGS.
The Blues songs presented on this cd are in the style of Robert Johnson, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Tommy Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, Howlin’ Wolf, and Muddy Waters .Traditional Country Gospel songs are also taught because they were a major influence in the development of the Blues.

Revolution The Beatles Both Guitar Parts With Tabs!
The backing track I’m using is the left channel of the original recording, it does not contain the guitars. All of the guitars you hear are mine. There are a couple of lead fills that are not me and you’ll know when you hear them. If you don’t see me playing the part on the screen, it isn’t me.
The first half of this video shows me playing John’s part, the second half shows me playing George’s part.
In regards to the David Frost performance: The David Frost performance had a pre-recorded backing track (the original recording) with live vocals. Although John is playing in the open position on the show, he could not have muted the A string which is *essential* for his part. Try it and you’ll see. Playing the part the way I am playing it and the way it was recorded would have required John to look at the fretboard almost the entire time – not good for a TV performance. If you try it both ways, I think you’ll agree.
George varies his position throughout. Again, the notes he is playing in the video do not correspond to the audio of his guitar.
The links to the individual parts are below.

Here’s the deal on the tuning:
You’ll need a digital tuner to be precise:
Tune your low E string to: F (now tune it sharp to 450Hz)
Tune your A string to: Bb (now tune it sharp to 450Hz)
Tune your D string to: Eb (now tune it sharp to 450Hz)
Tune your G string to: Ab (now tune it sharp to 450Hz)
Tune your B string to: C (now tune it sharp to 450Hz)
Tune your high E string to: F (now tune it sharp to 450Hz)
I really appreciate the overwhelming response to this classic tune!
