re: #91 wheat-doggha — oo bird outside my window

Normal guitar tuning requires you to perform some magic with your fingers on the frets to make a nice sound. Open tuning allows you to change chords just by sliding a bar, bottle neck or your finger up and down the neck. Of course, you can still finger the fret board with open tuning, too, but the fretting is different from what you’d use with standard tuning.
