"It took me awhile to realize this, but gbe tuning actually sets you up to play open tuning in a minor key! (e-g-b)
So you've got open E minor, A minor at the 5th fret and B minor at the 7th! (i, iv and v)...

Chord charts for 3 string open tuning
Just added these to my website. The charts give power chords and Major, minor and dominant 7s minus the 3rd. Power chords are also minus the 3rd for anyone who doesn't know - so what this means is you can use a power chord in place of any Major or minor chord. The 7 chords minus the 3rd may sound a little incomplete but if you got another player who can fill that in for you - you're ready to rock 'n' roll. And even if you don't you'll still get a decent sound. Gdg:…See More

"That's great Michael, thanks! Lots of us here play GDG, DAD, EBE or other open tunings. I'm going to try GBE, sounds deep, might tame my tinny tin build.
Good luck with CigarBox101 dotcom, let us know if we can…"

Essential Chords for 3 string tuned to gbe
So I spent a couple hours this weekend working out chord charts for gbe tuning. I got Major, minor, dim, aug, and 7 chords. All the 7 chords are minus the root, since I've only got 3 strings to work with. The chords work though, especially if you have another player nearby to pick up the root in the bass. Right now it's literally the only thing up on CigarBox101.com, but I'm hoping to add more content over the next…See More
