Today’s song/idea is titled “Eeee…a BB” named after this tuning.

This tuning allows for some great one finger playing. As a matter of fact, the entire intro to the song is played with one finger. Once gain, I’m using my MIDI pickup to trigger a subtle string sound and using my Infinity Looper to record my rhythm ideas so I can play over what I just recorded.

Here are the chords I’m playing using the full version of our Guitar Tunings Chord Charts:

I really enjoy creating my chord charts of my chord progressions and highlighting where I put my fingers. Many of the chords I use in “Eeee…a BB” song/idea are only available in the full version of our Guitar Tunings Chord Charts.

May these daily alt tunings continue to inspire you as you explore songwriting beyond the limitations of standard tuning.

Until next time…
