Alternate tunings make life as a guitarist a bit more interesting, as it\u2019s easy to get tired of just being famous all the time. That\u2019s why we cover alternate tuning<\/a> <\/p>\n

extensively on our blog<\/a>. Today, we\u2019re going to have a look at some well-known songs using alternate tunings, to give you a bit of inspiration for when you play around with your Roadie. Before we get started, it is probably a good idea to go through how to program your Roadie tuner.<\/a><\/p>\n

For this, we\u2019ll need the accompanying Roadie app<\/a> which you already have on your phone – right? Open it up, click on Tunings, and then select your instrument. Assuming you have a six-stringer, select Guitar and then six strings. Tap on Create New Tuning, and add the new notes. For example, if you\u2019re adding an Open G, then set your new tuning to DGDGBD. With that out of the way, you can press Sync to save your new tuning.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Led Zeppelin – Kashmir<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Led Zeppelin is, despite liberally \u2018borrowing\u2019<\/a> the songs of less famous blues musicians, one of the great legendary rock bands. When writing original tunes, however, they were not afraid of trying out some alternate tunings. Check out the song \u201cKashmir\u201d, which uses the well-known DADGAD tuning:<\/p>\n\n
