About
Hi, I’m Marcus, and I’m an open-tuning guitarist.
Until a few years ago, however, I didn’t feel confident calling myself that.
So what changed?
In short, I finally figured out how to play beautiful chords and progressions in any open tuning, in any key — what I now call the High Drone Method.

Why This Site Exists
Open tunings can make the guitar feel new again. They give you sounds that are hard, or sometimes impossible, to get in standard tuning.
But they can also be confusing.
It’s easy to learn a few isolated shapes, write down a few random discoveries, and still not know how the tuning really works.
The purpose of this site is simple: to help you move beyond guesswork and learn how to use open tunings more deliberately.
It’s for beginners who are curious about open tunings, and for more experienced players who finally want to take open tunings more seriously.
