Confused with open E scales on a three string.

<p>Definitely enjoying it but also finding it really useful. I sometimes (often) struggle with doing one thing and then losing that one thing when I start thinking about the next part. Your methodology in teaching the steady bass line is challenging but because I can instantly see the benefit I've got the determination to keep trying. Hugely helpful. I'll try and get a donation in the tip jar come payday too BTW. More than worth it and thanks again.</p>

I wind up using the major triad tuning a lot. It's like the top three strings of open G tuning on a six string, which is probably my favorite tuning for slide.

<p>All sorted with the scales. I should have mentioned I meant EBE, sorry for the confusion. I've copied the pattern of a GDg chart so all is fine it would seem. I hope! Haha</p>
<p>If anyone has links to chord charts for EBE I'd be massively appreciative.</p>
<p>Thanks all for the help too. You're all superstars.</p>

<p>I have just discovered how much I like open "A" EAE on 3 string & EAEAC#E on six.</p>
<p>Check out wiki link & note of open E for slide & the reference to open G.</p>

<p>Wayfinder calls it. One of the nice things about open tunings is that they often -not always play the same. IVI tunings: GDG, AEA, CGC, EBE - all have the same string relationships and play the same.</p>

Aren't there more than one "open E" tunings? I can think of two that I use a lot: E-b-e, and E-g#-b. The first would be "root-fifth-octave" tuning, and the second would be "major triad" tuning. You could also use "minor triad" tuning, or E-g-b.<br />
<br />
The good news is that, as Wayfinder said, you should be able to find a lot of material on scale patterns in all the open-G tuning variations. Just copy the patterns.

<p>Well I never knew that! So I can just use the GDg scales I've got but transpose them starting on the right fret. Interesting and massively helpful! Now all I need is a chord sheet for the EBE tuning haha.</p>
<p>Thanks times a trillion, Wayfinder. I really appreciate that.</p>
