E Minor Guitar Chord in Drop D Tuning
This is a lesson on how to play the E Minor Guitar Chord using an alternate tuning known as “Drop D Tuning“. I am assuming you already have your guitar tuned to Drop D and are looking to start learning some chords. If not, head on over to this post on Drop D Tuning and tune your guitar, then come back and learn the E Minor Chord.
With Drop D Tuning, all that changes is the Low E string. You are tuning your Low E String to a D, so any chords that have their root on the Low E string in standard tuning, like the E Minor Chord for instance, are played differently.
Introduction to Open G Tuning – DGDGBD
How to Tune your Guitar to Open G Tuning
In this free guitar lesson, you will learn how to tune your guitar to a popular alternate tuning called “Open G Tuning” (also known as DGDGBD) . There are many different kinds of alternate tunings which can make guitar playing a ton of fun, and Open G is no exception.
The reason this style of tuning is called “Open G” is this: when you strum all of the strings, without fretting any notes, you are playing a G Major Chord. It is a different voicing than the G Major Chord you play in standard tuning, which is why it has such a unique sound. It is the reason why certain Rolling Stones songs will never sound right when played in standard tuning.

In this free guitar lesson, we will be learning about an alternate form of guitar tuning called “Drop D Tuning” (Also Known As DADGBE). There are a number of interesting alternate guitar tunings, but Drop D is one of the easiest to set up and one of the most popular.
Drop D Tuning is often used in Rock and Metal Music but it is also used in other genres of music like country and blues.
As I said in the beginning of this post, Drop D Tuning is one of the easiest alternate tuning methods to setup. All that you need to do is tune down (Drop) your Low E string by one “Whole Step” to a “D”, while the rest of the strings remain the same.
The easiest way to tune your Low E string to the required “D”is by using an electronic guitar tuner. If you don’t have a tuner, then you can use this online drop d guitar tuner. Another method for tuning to Drop D is by tuning your low E string to the 4th D String. The video below demonstrates this.
