Tuning:DADF#AD (Open D)
To reproduce the guitar sound of this recording you need to be in Open D tuning -
and ideally using a 12 string guitar!
The Open D chords are easy to play and allow the top strings to act as ringing drones.
If you want to stay in Standard tuning - just play the chords as named and they will sound OK
when played along with the videos.
Here is the original full track:
