The guitarist's favorite (slightly altered) tuning drops the low-E string to an open D-note, unlocking the richness of the instrument's bass strings while letting us keep familiar chord shapes. This eight-week course explores this tuning through Irish airs and waltzes, finger-style blues, and folk strums in D major and minor. You should know basic guitar chords and have some playing experience. Instructor: Christopher Powers
