    - D chord: x 2 3 2 0 0

The tunings and chords are formatted using TAB notation. Please let me know if you would like more information on guitar playing techniques, tunings, or chords. I'm happy to provide additional details or guidance.

prompter: I from Gen Z . Can you you reproduce this list with songs I might actually know?

assistant: Got it, my mistake. As a member of Gen Z, you're probably looking for some more contemporary tunings and song examples. Here's an updated list of common guitar tunings with some newer songs as references:

Standard Tuning (EADGBE):
Example song: "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran

Drop D Tuning (DADGBE):
Example song: " Basket Case" by Green Day

Open D Tuning (DADF#AD):
Example song: "I Will Wait" by Mumford & Sons

D modal Tuning (DADGAD):
Example song: "Wonderwall" by Oasis

These tunings are commonly used in modern pop, rock, and folk music. The fingerings to play G, C, and D major chords are the same as in the original response. Let me know if you would like help finding tabs or tutorials for how to play any of these songs. I can also provide additional resources on using these tunings and playing contemporary guitar styles if that would be helpful.

assistant: Here are the four most common guitar tunings, along with an example of a popular tune played in each tuning and the fingerings required to play G, C, and D chords in each tuning:

1. Standard Tuning (EADGBE)
    Example Song: "Wonderwall" by Oasis
    G Chord: 320003
    C Chord: X32010
    D Chord: XX0232

2. Drop D Tuning (DADGBE)
    Example Song: "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin
    G Chord: 5X000X
    C Chord: X3X010
    D Chord: X5X070

3. Open G Tuning (DGDGBD)
    Example Song: "Jumpin' Jack Flash" by The Rolling Stones
    G Chord: 0X0000
    C Chord: X3X033
    D Chord: XX0230

4. Open D Tuning (DADF#AD)
    Example Song: "Death Letter" by Son House
    G Chord: 5X0000
    C Chord: 9X0090
    D Chord: 7X0070

Note: In TAB format, the numbers on the lines represent the frets to be pressed down, and the X's represent strings that are not played. For example, the G chord in standard tuning is played by placing the third finger on the third fret of the sixth string, the second finger on the second fret of the fifth string, and the fourth finger on the third fret of the first string. In TAB format, this would be written as:

```lua
G Chord: 
e|---3---|
B|---0---|
G|---0---|
D|---0---|
A|---2---|
E|---3---|
```

prompter: In TAB format could you create a four chord progression using standard guitar tuning?  Can you also explain the strumming pattern?  Thank you.

assistant: Sure! Here's a simple four-chord progression in standard tuning using the chords G, Em, C, and D. This is a very common progression found in many popular songs.
``` 
G Chord:
e|---3---|
B|---0---|
G|---0---|
D|---0---|
A|---2---|
E|---3---|

Em Chord:
e|---0---|
B|---0---|
G|---0---|
D|---2---|
A|---2---|
E|---0---|

C Chord:
e|---0---|
B|---1---|
G|---0---|
D|---2---|
A|---3---|
E|---X---|

D Chord:
e|---2---|
B|---3---|
G|---2---|
D|---0---|
A|---X---|
E|---X---|
``` 
Strumming pattern:

For the strumming pattern, you can use a simple down-down-up, up-down-up pattern (D-DU-UDU). This pattern can be played once for each chord, as follows:

1. G Chord: D-DU-UDU
2. Em Chord: D-DU-UDU
3. C Chord: D-DU-UDU
4. D Chord: D-DU-UDU

Repeat this progression and strumming pattern as desired. You can also experiment with different strumming patterns and rhythms to create various styles and feels.

prompter: That chord progression sounds too generic to me. Could you edit the chord progression to make it sound a little more jazzy?

assistant: Here's a simple four-chord progression in standard guitar tuning using the chords G, C, Em, and D. In TAB format, it looks like this:
    
    
```lua
    G Chord:
    e|---3---|
    B|---0---|
    G|---0---|
    D|---0---|
    A|---2---|
    E|---3---|
    
    C Chord:
    e|---0---|
    B|---1---|
    G|---0---|
    D|---2---|
    A|---3---|
    E|---X---|
    
    Em Chord:
    e|---0---|
    B|---0---|
    G|---0---|
    D|---2---|
    A|---2---|
    E|---0---|
    
    D Chord:
    e|---2---|
    B|---3---|
    G|---2---|
    D|---0---|
    A|---X---|
    E|---X---|
```

As for the strumming pattern, you can use a simple pattern such as "down-down-up-up-down-up" for each chord. Here's how it looks:
    
    
```css
    G   -   C   -   Em  -   D   -
    D   D   U   U   D   U   D   D   U   U   D   U   D   D   U   U   D   U
```

"Down" (D) indicates a downward strum and "up" (U) indicates an upward strum. The progression would be played as follows: G (strum pattern) -> C (strum pattern) -> Em (strum pattern) -> D (strum pattern). Repeat this sequence for the desired number of times.

Feel free to adjust the strumming pattern to suit your preferences or the style of the song you're playing. The key is to maintain a consistent rhythm throughout the progression.

prompter: I just remembered i dont know how to play guitar. Can you get me started with the absolute basics?

assistant: ###  Four Common Tunings for Guitar

The four most common tunings for guitar are standard tuning, drop D tuning, open G tuning, and open D tuning. Here are examples of popular tunes played in each tuning, along with the fingerings required to play G, C, and D chords in TAB format:

1. **Standard Tuning (EADGBE)** - This is the most common tuning for guitar and is used in most styles of music. 

   **Example of a popular tune:** "Wonderwall" by Oasis
   
   **Fingerings for G, C, and D chords:**
   
       G:   320033
       C:   x32010
       D:   xx0232

2. **Drop D Tuning (DADGBE)** - In drop D tuning, the sixth string (E) is tuned down a whole step to D, which allows for power chords to be played with one finger.

   **Example of a popular tune:** "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin
   
   **Fingerings for G, C, and D chords:**
   
       G:   5x0033
       C:   x32010
       D:   x00232

3. **Open G Tuning (DGDGBD)** - Open G tuning is used frequently in blues and slide guitar playing, and is often used by Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones.

   **Example of a popular tune:** "Brown Sugar" by The Rolling Stones
   
   **Fingerings for G, C, and D chords:**
   
       G:   0x0003
       C:   0x2010
       D:   0x4232

4. **Dropped D with Capo (DADGBD)** - This is a variation of drop D tuning that is often used in folk music.

   **Example of a popular tune:** "Blackbird" by The Beatles
   
   **Fingerings for G, C, and D chords:**
   
       G:   3x0003
       C:   x32010
       D:   xx0232

prompter: Thanks for the detailed information on guitar tunings and the examples provided! I'm interested to know if there are any specific tuning styles that are particularly popular among experimental or avant-garde guitarists. Are there any unusual or unconventional tunings that have been used to create unique sounds or push the boundaries of guitar playing?
