B11 Tuning Lesson, Pt.1


The B11 lap steel guitar tuning offers a wealth of great chords and harmonized melodic lines...



...but treat it carefully: Strumming the open strings has been known to make other musicians cringe!

Here's the tuning from Low to High: C# D# F# A C# E

Please note: B11 features a diminished triad in the middle of it. A real pain if you're used to "open" tunings.

In the video lesson below, we take a C6 tuning and convert it to B11 with on-screen notation to help your visual learning abilities.

In Part 2 (coming soon), we'll go more in-depth, showing you some cool chords and harmonized melodic lines that sound great in tunes like Sand and How Dya Do.
