Simple question of open tuning. If I am tuned GDG as has been recomended is this a G chord? and do the rest of the barred chords follow the scale down the neck, ie A B C D... I know it sound obvious but 3 string stuff isn't in any of my books, thanks.
Oh and while I am at it what would other open chords be and what note are they? ( I'm sure it is on the site somewere but this seems like a good place to put it again, to go with the songs) Thanks and happy strumming.
It's actually a G5 chord because it has no third which would be a "B". It can therefore be used with either major or minor chords. Two frets down would be an A5 chord..notes= A-E-A. Four frets down would be a B5... B-F#-B and five frets C ...C-G-C and on and on. A I-IV-V progression would be G5--C5--D5 (open-5th fret-7th fret) I'm being very basic here. You probably know all this.

LOL...and my purpose was to come up with some stuff that people who are not musicians could play, and not need to know anything about what notes they were playing.

Sorry Iggy, couldn't help myself. Must be the engineer in me. My wife always tells me too much detail, too much detail.

Have a look at the Strumstick site. They have a song book you can purchase and you can view them all on line. Most are well known and traditional songs. They are simple melody lines that you can pick out if you have a dulcimer fret layout and many include chords for accompaniment. You will find it here. Regards John D
