Playing the guitar in Open D tuning by Larry Allen Brown

posted May 14, 2010

SunDolphin Productions, along with Larry Allen Brown are excited to announce the release of “Playing Guitar in Open D” taught by Larry Allen Brown (“Through the Trees, a Unicorn” video). Larry is an accomplished guitarist and music instructor who co-developed a unique method for teaching how to play guitar in open tunings based upon color fretboard “zones”.

This course is not intended to teach someone how to play “a song”. It is designed to convey an understanding of the guitar tuned to an open chord, to provide intimate familiarity with the fretboard geography, to develop a consistent technique for creating rhythms through patterned finger picking and melodies by incorporating the major scale, to understand the theory behind chord construction and use, and to ultimately enable you to compose your own music using these sound principles.

The best strategy for getting the most out this course is to take a slow and patient approach. Learn each section (pattern picking, for example) well before proceeding to the next. If you build your skills foundation slowly and securely enough, your results will be much more rewarding.

This course contains approximately one and a half hours of video instruction along with supplemental materials.

The video below is a collection of a few segments from the course and should give you a good idea of how the course is constructed.
