Grunge Design - Chord Progressions Embeded


"Drop D" and "Double Drop D" tunings are also great for making creative juices flow while playing guitar and experimenting with chord groupings. In my previous post I discussed the DADGAD tuning for the same reasons - creative playing.

Wikipedia has a listing of alternative tunings for guitar including the open tunings. Many songs have been written using these different tunings in Rock. Jimmy Page was known to use some of them for songs.

My Grunge designed image has many chord progressions in it as part of the whole and some chord charts with very basic chords for the standard guitar tuning. If you can make them out then feel free to try them.

I used PhotoPaint for most of the image, Thredgeholder filter and object property "Color Burn". I also used CorelDRAW to make the chord charts. On the two guitars in red I used Thredgeholder then I used Effects> Texture> Plastic> filter on them for a slight three dimensional appearance. There is an old rusty Ford tractor in the background as well, you may be able to readily see the headlight and grill of it.
