Low tunings guitar lesson

Guitarists: I’m a big fan of alternate tunings where you drop the bass strings and leave the rest in standard. Here’s a lesson from Acoustic Guitar, with accompanying video and tab, on two of these tunings: G6 (D G D G B E) and dropped C (C G D G B E).

Want to hear these tunings in action? Check out these playlists, which feature such masters as Richard Thompson, Chet Atkins, Tommy Emmanuel, and Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham.
