Subject: RE: D6 tuning From: GUEST,Jae Date: 06 Feb 11 - 08:43 PM Hey there, I thought the Open D6 Tuning was D-A-D-F#-B-D? I was searching tabs on Grizzly Bear's Southern Point and saw that is was it that tuning. Also, I've been writing songs in this tuning once I learned how to play in it. If D-A-D-F#-B-D isn't Open D6 then what would that make the tuning used on Southern Point? Also, Daniel Rossen (Who wrote Southern Point) uses this tuning pretty often from what I've heard in his Dept. Of Eagles catalog. I've never heard of D-A-D-F#-A-B |

Subject: RE: D6 tuning From: GUEST,Songbob Date: 27 Nov 09 - 12:42 PM "I've been using B A G D A D tuning, but it sounds like Shiite!" You're doing it wrong. D A D G A B is Bagdad tuning -- Arabic is written right-to-left! And it's not Shiite if you have a Sunni disposition. And for those with seven-string guitars, the tuning is D A D H G A B (Baghdad tuning), but you have to use the European system where B is "our" Bb, and H is "our" B. This results in D A D B G A Bb tuning. Bob |

Subject: RE: D6 tuning From: PHJim Date: 27 Nov 09 - 11:53 AM I'd forgotten all about that tune and that tuning. I recall learning Whistling Blues almost forty years ago from either a Grossman book on open tunings or a recording with a tab booklet that he and Rory Block put out when Rory was about sixteen or seventeen years old called How To Play Blues Guitar. |
Subject: RE: D6 tuning From: deadfrett Date: 27 Nov 09 - 11:39 AM GUEST- I use a D6 tuning D-A-D-F#-A-B. This also makes a nice slide guitar tuning. By tuning the 1st string up one fret (C), it becomes a D7.Tuning it up one more fret to a C#, it becomes a D Major7.which has a lovely Jazz or Hawaiian sound.-Dave |

Subject: RE: D6 tuning From: GUEST,murray@mpce.mq.edu.au Date: 20 Jul 00 - 04:14 AM I thought I would refresh this thread since I was away for a while and then the University HTML server went down for a few days. Let me expand on the question more. The whistling blues is a blues/ragtime type piece. Is D6 tuning more associated with other styles of music. Like C/W dobro playing or Hawaian slack key or somthing like that? Murray |
Subject: RE: D6 tuning From: Bert Date: 11 Jul 00 - 11:52 AM For a minute there, I thought you were going to suggest all six strings be tuned to the note D. Hey I might be able to tune my guitar after all;-) |
Subject: D6 tuning From: GUEST,murray@mpce.mq.edu.au Date: 11 Jul 00 - 06:35 AM In D6 tuning you have lower five strings of the guitar tuned as in open "D", but you tune the treble string to "B" instead of "D", so the open strings play a "D6" chord. I know one song in this tuning, namely Gary Davis's "Whistling Blues" as transcribed by Stefan Grossman. Does anyone know of others? Murray |
