While alternate tunings like Drop D and DADGAD are commonly used by solo acoustic guitarists, there are plenty more options that will open up new creative possibilities. In this video, Elixir Strings artist Tom Anello opts for DADGCE for a beautiful version of Childish Gambino’s ‘Redbone’.
If you haven’t used this particular tuning before, don’t worry, on-screen tab will guide you through Tom’s arrangement of the separate bass, harmony and melody lines. Featuring fingerpicking and percussive hammering-on, it’s a great showcase of techniques that you can employ in your own arrangements.

Explaining why he’s such a fan of Elixir Strings on both his electric and acoustic guitars, Tom says, “There’s nothing like the lively shimmer of a fresh pack of Elixirs. They really sing on the mic and they put up with all the alternate tunings I subject them to. I’m a fan for life.”
