How It Works
The Open D High-Drone Chord Library is based on the High Drone Method™.
The idea behind this method is simple:
Let one or more open high strings ring while you play basic movable chords on the other strings.
Importantly, the high drone can be any note in the key — and each one creates a unique sound.
What It Sounds Like
Listen to the same progression in standard tuning, with one Open D high-drone guitar, and with two layered Open D high-drone guitars.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the chord library for?
The library is for guitarists who want to find and play beautiful chords in Open D without relying on guesswork. It is suitable for anyone who already knows a few basic guitar chords, including players who are new to open tunings.
What is a high-drone chord?
A high-drone chord lets one or more high strings ring while the main chord is played on the other strings. The ringing strings add color and create sounds that are difficult or impossible to play in standard tuning.
Do I need a capo?
Not for every chord. Many chords can be played without a capo, while others use a capo to create different high-drone sounds. The library shows the correct capo position for each chord. When playing high-drone chords, however, the capo is not simply used as transposing tool. It is often better thought of as a high-drone shifter.
Do I need to understand music theory?
No. You can use the filters to choose a key, drone sound, and voicing without needing to understand the theory behind them. Some basic theory can help, but it is not required.
How many chords are in the library?
The library contains more than 4,000 high-drone chords in Open D. The chords are organized by key, drone note, drone string, and voicing, making it easy to find different versions of the sound you want.
What happens after I pay?
After your payment is completed, you will receive immediate access to the full library. The access link will appear on the confirmation page and will also be sent to your email address.
Is VAT included?
Yes. The displayed price includes VAT where applicable, so there are no additional taxes added at checkout.
Is this a one-time purchase or a subscription?
It is a one-time purchase. You pay once and receive ongoing access to the full chord library. There are no monthly or annual subscription fees.
Is the purchase refundable?
Because the library is a digital product with immediate access, purchases are generally non-refundable. You can explore the free preview before purchasing to make sure the library is right for you. This does not affect any rights you may have under applicable law.
Does the chord library work on mobile?
Yes. The library works on computers, tablets, and mobile phones. A larger screen may make it easier to browse several chords at once, but all main features are available on mobile.
How do I tune my guitar to Open D?
From the lowest string to the highest, Open D is tuned:
D-A-D-F#-A-D
Starting from standard tuning, lower the sixth string from E to D, the third string from G to F#, the second string from B to A, and the first string from E to D. The fifth and fourth strings remain unchanged.
