would like to thank our veterans for their dedication, devotion and sacrifice for our country. This video clip is of Lt. Andrew Tsimpedes, Grand Marshal of Birmingham Alabama’s 2010 Veteran’s Day Parade. Lt. Tsimpedes, the son of immigrants from Greece, served in the 8th Cavalry in 1938…when the Cavalry rode on horses! There are a few seconds at the beginning of Birmingham’s finest kicking off the parade .

is excited to announce the release of “Playing Guitar in Open D” taught by Larry Allen Brown (“Through the Trees, a Unicorn” video). Larry is an accomplished guitarist and music instructor who co-developed a unique method for teaching how to play guitar in open tunings based upon color fretboard “zones”.
This course is not intended to teach someone how to play “a song”. It is designed to convey an understanding of the guitar tuned to an open chord, to provide intimate familiarity with the fretboard geography, to develop a consistent technique for creating rhythms through patterned finger picking and melodies by incorporating the major scale, to understand the theory behind chord construction and use, and to ultimately enable you to compose your own music using these sound principles.
The best strategy for getting the most out this course is to take a slow and patient approach. Learn each section (pattern picking, for example) well before proceeding to the next. If you build your skills foundation slowly and securely enough, your results will be much more rewarding.
This course contains approximately one and a half hours of video instruction along with supplemental materials.
This course is now available as an online-taught course, hosted by Digital Chalk. As an introductory offer, this course, regularly $39.95, will be available throughout the month of May for only $19.95.
If you are new to Digital Chalk, click “Create New Account” at the Digital Chalk login screen. Fill out your information. Click the “catalog” tab and select “Play Guitar in Open D”. You will be asked for your credit card information. Then you’re off and running.
If you encounter a problem or have other questions, please send email to openDadmin@sundolphinproductions.com
The video below is a collection of a few segments from the course and should give you a good idea of how the course is constructed.
The video below is a performance by Larry of “Through the Trees, a Unicorn”. Larry composed and performed this song using techniques taught in “Play Guitar in Open D Tuning”.
