This is a unique course— the first of its kind to teach music theory from the ground up for guitarists playing in Open D tuning.
No prior knowledge of music theory is necessary in order to progress through this course. This course includes more than 3 hours of video lessons + an 80 page PDF book with 125 diagrams. You’ll learn the major scale, triads, scale harmonization techniques, seventh chords, chord extensions, the minor pentatonic scale, arpeggios, the minor blues scale, soloing techniques, blues progressions, uses of chromaticism, guide tones, shell voicings, and more.
By the end of this course you’ll be able to improvise in this tuning, play chords and scales all over the neck, and perform in all twelve keys.
Open D tuning offers beautiful sounds that are hard to attain in standard tuning—but this tuning isn’t just for playing a few blues or folk tunes. It’s a full-fledged tuning that’s as versatile as standard tuning, and when learned well, it can easily become your primary tuning.
All tunings that use the 1-5-1-3-5-1 interval system will find this course beneficial, including Open E and Open C.
If you aspire to know your way around the fretboard like Derek Trucks, Sonny Landreth, Ariel Posen, Joey Landreth, or any of the other modern day guitarists who use this tuning, this course is for you. They all know their music theory concepts intimately in this tuning—this allows them to perform at the highest level.

*HIGHLIGHTED REVIEW*
“The time you have spent with the triads and inversions has essentially saved me a ton of time and really opened up my playing. Even though I’ve only been doing the course for the past two weeks my playing is definitely more musical. I’m really grateful that you put this course together, it’s something I’d been looking for for a long time. I work as a nurse and have kids, etc., so my time is limited in terms of playing guitar, this course has put everything needed in one place with a format that’s easy to understand and follow. Incredible value considering the time that you have spent developing the course. Anyway it’s much appreciated. Thanks.” – Pete (from UK)
