Alex Hutchings: Why I tune my Guitar to 4ths

Hey Guys I just thought I'd cover this for people that don't know the full story as to why and when I changed from playing in standard tuning to playing in 4ths.. It's certainly not for everyone but I think it's good to have an understanding of it because ironically it also helped me to understand regular tuning better too after I changed.. Anyway I hope you'll get something from this at least. Have a great weekend and see you on the next one. Video Chapters
