Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 Interesting -- that particular group caught my attention too. They do something that very few people do, that i have been putting out for years. The lead guitar on some of their songs is tuned in " Open C " which creates some very unusual sounds. A couple of my albums have some pieces in that tuning. I love to just sit around among friends and doodle in it. The only other major artist who uses that tuning is, oddly enough, Dolly Parton. Classical and Christian are my main listening, although it's really hard to find Classical music any more. Have to just bring my own CDs. At the end of each day i teach, for the last ten minutes, i often put some Classical music on one of the classroom computers. I like to think that maybe this gets the kids in a better mood before they go home.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 Open C is good for general relaxation. It really doesn't get much more specific than that, which means you can use it in a lot of ways. Key of C in general is good for tuning the physical body. This makes it especially good for exercise, massage, and general healing. I created one album that is exclusively in key of C, and many massage therapists have reported good results with it. Actually don't have any of their albums -- can't really afford to buy much music any more. What i do buy is generally stuff that you will NEVER hear on the radio, for various reasons. Seems like i have a sort of radar for that group. I rarely watch TV, and almost never the late-night shows. But for a while every time i tuned in, they were playing. It was really cool.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 Sorry if i got you confused. Open C is a specific guitar tuning that goes, bottom to top, C G C G C E When you strum all the strings at once, with no fingers on the fretboard, you get a full chord. This is called " open " in guitar language. Regular C would just be any music in the key of C, no matter what instrument.
