Every time critics say 'it's all been done' in guitar, some young bright spark comes along and proves the naysayers wrong – and this time it's YouTuber Ichika with a new instrumental showcasing the 'ethereal' tuning he's developed.
The Japanese guitarist's instrumental tapped piece is tuned (low to high) D A Db Gb Db D – that's an open Dmaj7.
Ichika recently featured in Guitar World's 10 forward-thinking players proving the guitar still has plenty to offer.
