Continuing with my series of CBG Tutorials, this one explores Chicago (DGBE) tuning and how to make both minor and major chords anywhere on the fretboard. This tuning can be a lot of fun. If you've never tried Chicago tuning on a CBG... I'd recommend it.

I appreciate that Dave. I try to make these tutorials so an average Joe can follow them. Granted... you're not an average Joe (LOL) but I appreciate the endorsement sir.

Wow Kale. That was about the best tutorial I’ve seen. Concise, clear, easy and affordable. Thanks for the lesson.

YEP!, Well Done Poorness, gotta love a well put together Tutorial, so some of us not so musically talented boofheads can learn something new. ;-D

Gee, I've been playing Chicago tuning quite a while. But you know more about it than I do. Sounding good too.

You nailed it Doug! I hope it's helpful to somebody.

Moveable shapes sound great and all make muting all the strings at once easy. They also make it easy to transpose songs. Great foundational tutorial Kale!
