Open B Tuning is an open tuning for guitar. The open stringnotes in this tuning are B-F♯-B-F♯-B-D♯. It uses the three notes that form the triad of a B majorchord: B, the root note; F♯, the perfect fifth; and D♯ the major third.
When the guitar is strummed without fretting any of the strings a B major chord is sounded. This means that any major chord can be easily created using one finger, fretting all the strings at once.
