Chordplay - The Acoustic Side Of Rival Sons

Here's the next episode of Chordplay with The Acoustic Side of Rival Sons.
Rival Sons hit the scene in 2009 and have been on my radar not too long after their debut, with a fuzzy retro-rock style and expressive delivery, their albums bring to mind countless legends of rock and blues music, including the mighty Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Deep Purple, and many more.

This lesson takes a look at guitarist Scott Holiday's interesting acoustic guitar moments in Rival Sons music and centers around his use of altered tunings and his apparent fascination with open-G, DADGAD, and many other common altered tunings.

If you're searching for some new sounds and chord-based ideas to tap into on the guitar, look no further than exploring altered tunings and the various textures and exotic sounds you'll uncover with a few simple twists of your tuning pegs. You can catch all sorts of great guitar music using altered tunings, including music from masters such as Jimmy Page, Joni Mitchell, Michael Hedges, and countless others.

Needless to say, if you're looking for something fresh, interesting, and different in the realm of acoustic guitar and guitar chords in general, look no further than this lesson, which should have a little something new for everyone, regardless of your stylistic interests, influences, or overall playing style.
