Tuning D A D F♯ A D Capo 6th fret Key idea suspended color over a walking bass

Vernon's own guitar sat somewhere between D and E♭ — loosely tuned, not locked to a reference pitch — but Open D with a capo at the 6th fret is the standard way this closer gets transcribed. The shapes lean on suspended and 7sus4 color rather than plain triads, with a G/B-style slash chord keeping the bass moving underneath.

D→ Asus4→ G/B→ A7sus4→ Em7

Chord names above are the fretted shapes as commonly transcribed (before the capo-6 transposition) — open it below to hear each real shape, including the G/B bass voicing, in Open D.

Open D is one of the 33 free built-in tunings — open it below, no unlock needed.
