Likewise used by guitar legends like Pierre Bensusan and Martin Simpson, CGDGCD is sometimes described as Orkney tuning or Csus2 tuning and permits you to move far from DADGAD’s essential center of D and produce beautiful textures and tunes. Tristan’s easy-to-follow intro shows a few of the possibilities of this terrific tuning, covering powerful open chords, extended voicings and more.
