Acoustic Guitar Techniques to Move Past Beginner Level🎼🎼

Alternate tunings open a new world of possibilities for acoustic guitar players. They allow us to access harmonies and melodies in ways that make us forget our usual playing and writing conventions. They help us remember how fresh things sounded when we first started playing the instrument, only much better now that we have developed the hands and ears of a guitar player.

Generally, standard guitar tuning refers to the tuning guitar players most commonly use today: EADGBE. Alternate tunings for guitar can be anything different from that. You could move each string by the same amount, and the result would be the same sound, just higher or lower (Jimi Hendrix, for example, tuned each string down a half step).
