In this lesson, we’ll walk you through Open D Major tuning (D–A–D–F#–A–D), one of the easiest and most powerful ways to get started with slide guitar.
It only takes a few quick adjustments from standard tuning — and the result is a full D major chord when you strum all six strings open. That means you can start making music with your slide almost immediately.
We’ll also learn how to find your I–IV–V chords in this tuning (D, G, and A) and give you tips for finding the sweet spot on the fret when using your slide.
