  • Open D enlightenment?

    Just finished working with Scrubbing Bubbles. I’d been tinkering with open D tuning for a while but never really figured out how to use more of the length of the neck while playing or how to incorporate drone notes. As I worked thorough the scale, something clicked. As I played with the backing track it felt (and sounded) more natural than before.

    Light Bulb!

    I’m not sure what a drone note is, but I understood the gist of your message. Very cool when things fall into place and all of a sudden make sense. Great win @Todd_S

      A drone can be defined as an extended melody over a single bass note. The drone technique usually involves playing a melody along a single string, while simultaneously and repeatedly playing a single bass note underneath that melody.
