Love Dm. Last House on the left
Thanks Tony! My favorite horror movie is “The Exorcism of Emily Rose,” and here’s why. First, it’s an all-star cast in playing roles that are so believable. Second, it starts out “… based on a true story.” Third, it’ll make you leave lights on as a grown ass man. Don’t even ask about 3:00 A.M.!
great–but I’d still like to know where the “descending chords” app is…..I’ve looked and can’t find it.
Great lesson, thanks Tony!! Bride of Frankenstein.
Loved Open D minor! Fav horror movie, The Shining!
I love this tuning. Easy enough to figure out the sus chords too.
My favorite horror movie is a newer one – ‘A Quiet Place’.
Tony will will you have an open jam session so I can come up there? Hopefully in the summer not in the snow and ice, I live in Florida,
Open D minor is awesome!!! And the best horror movie is “The Shining”
