If you are feeling uninspired, you need to break the habits of your fingers.

Today we will use open tunings to break those habits and we'll start with drop D tuning.

Experiment with different positions and decide if you like what you are hearing. We are not going to name any chords or use any music theory, we are going to use our ears!

Try melodic ideas also and keep the ones that help you build your story.

We are avoiding standard tuning because the idea is to bypass lick oriented playing.
