Thanx a ton to Dan Haas for additional information on
how to tune to Open D and the chord voicings in that tuning.

D minor open tuning: D-A-D-F-A-D (D75345) i.e. tune Bass string (1st) to D,
then fret 1st string at fret 7 for the second string, fret 2nd string at 5 for
the 3rd, etc. Then check the three D strings with each other, and the two A
strings with each other. A critical interval is the two high strings. Get
that right and check the others against them.

to get other chords, just barre the appropriate fret:
Bm = 9th fret
Em = 2nd fret
F#m = 4th fret
F# = barre at 4th fret, plus fret the F string (third from the floor) at the
5th fret to make the chord major. i.e. 444544, Bass string to high.
F#7 = haven't figured out yet --- maybe 4X4554 ?

Christian Kuechler wrote in to suggest this voicing for the
F#7 = 444574. He tells us it sounds good....so try that!
