<p>DAdf# is a great tuning. There are many songs you can learn from youtube tutorials in that tuning. The DAdf# are a part of the open six string tuning DADf#ad, also called vestapol tuning. Here are a couple of youtube links:</p>

<p>Hello. I'm new to the site. I've been wanting to do it for years. Your C chord is built on the 3rd string third fret (c note root) 2 string 2nd fret (E note) 1st string first fret (G note). Looks like an F chord on standard guitar. With the above fingering, your minor is like an F minor chord move E back 1 fret.Your minors have a a little tough fingering off the 4th string root but easier on the 3rd string root.

It's all good - no problem at all. There's nowhere else I can get the thoughtful and helpful responses on this stuff - especially for a 4-string CBG! Keni Lee - I know I should be learning the theory but I'm not there yet! In the meantime, thanks for helping me through the basic chords.

Hello Barry,<br />
I thought you were working in open G. That is why I suggested the chord page. I am not trying to sell you another tuning. I play using DADf# but only the lower three strings on a 3 string (DAD). I will be posting a series of lessons soon for playing chords on 3 string tuned ADf#. So, you will find this very applicable with a D(ADf#) tuning on a 4 string. Sorry for any confusion.

For an Em chord, I found this:<br/>
<br/>
- 1st finger on 1st fret on the F# string<br/>
- 2nd finger on 2nd fret on lower D string<br/>
- 3rd finger on 2nd fret on A string<br/>

<br/>
Please let me know if these work. Now I am search of an Am!</div>

u are really close with ur chords ur working out, good stuff. Ur C chord really wants a 'G' note, so u need to free up ur first finger to fret the 1st string at the 1st fret. A minor is almost the same as C but u wanna trade that G u just made for an A. In order to fret the 1st string at the 3rd fret u will have to swap ur fingers around to free up ur 4th finger...<br />

hey man dont let these guys sell u on another tuning, u gotta tackle one tuning at a time for where u are at. I dont really see why u guys think a 2nd tuning is gonna help??? The 'C' chord u have worked out there should be working fine, but what u really want to do is either detune the entire instrument by 2 steps (drop every string by 2 notes, so the intervallic relationship between ur strings remains the same) or transpose the tune to the key of D.<br />

If in the chart where it says C u just play a D that ought to be a lot easier no?? this means u gotta raise all the other chords by the same 2 fret differential to keep the tune the same.

Please check out my CD5 for 4 string CBG (<a href="http://www.ebay.com" target="_blank">www.ebay.com</a> / search: keni lee)<br />
I think you will find it quite a comprehensive study of open g CBG. Enjoy.<br />
