It may feel like you have to relearn everything you know! Keeping that in mind, this workshop will provide a gentle introduction to the sonic possibilities of altered tunings. Starting with the gateway tuning of dropped D, we’ll ease our way into open G and continue to open D tuning. We’ll discuss how to think about the fretboard when the intervals between the strings change from standard tuning, and how to integrate what you already know about chords and scales to any tuning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSkills Needed:\u003c\/b\u003e For guitarists at the intermediate level or above who have some familiarity with fingerstyle guitar.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat to Bring:\u003c\/b\u003e Your guitar and a recording device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTeacher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jamie Stillway has been quietly making her mark on the guitar world for over 25 years.
