Open D Minor Guitar Tuning

Open D Minor is simply a variation of Open D Major. The third string is lowered one tone from Open D, making it sound like a minor rather than a major.

D Major consists of D F# A, and D Minor consists of D F A, so all that needs to be done to get from Open to Open D minor is to drop that the F# to an F.

Like Open D, D minor is a very rich and resonant sounding tuning.

Getting into Open D Minor

I suggest first tuning to Open D, then simply lower the 3rd string one step to an F.
