GUITAR PLAYER COUNTED Peppino D'Agostino among its 50 Transcendent Acoustic Guitarists: Superheroes of Wood, Steel and Nylon in the August 2017 cover feature for myriad reasons, including his ability to make musical magic in alternate tunings. D'Agostino expressed some of his tuning methods among the many concepts included in Peppino D'Agostino's New Acoustic Guitar, a book originally published by Warner Brothers and currently distributed by Alfred Publishing in its Acoustic Masters Series. Now that material and more is available in a fabulous new digital format with a state-of-the-art educational presentation via Guitar by Masters on its website, guitarbymasters.com.
D'Agostino hosted a workshop on how he draws inspiration from open tunings at Freight & Salvage in Berkeley, California, where he graciously invited Guitar Player to attend and take notes. Here are some introductory ideas in his own words.
