How the High Drone Method Works
The idea behind the High Drone Method is simple:
Let one or more open high strings ring while you play basic movable chords on the other strings.
Importantly, the high drone can be any note in the key — and each one creates a unique sound.
What It Sounds Like
Choose a key, progression, high-drone sound, and voicing. Then listen to how the High Drone Method™ can sound in Open D.
D | Em | F#m | G
With the full library, you can:
- Explore all major and minor keys
- Find chords by key or root
- See chord diagrams with recommended fingering
- Build more progressions, including your own
- Mix voicings for more musical progressions
- Layer a second high-drone guitar
- Use more detailed filtering options
- Loop playback while you listen and practice
Hear the Difference
Listen to the same progression in standard tuning, with one Open D high-drone guitar, and with two layered Open D high-drone guitars.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the High Drone Method?
The High Drone Method™ is a simple way to find beautiful chords in open tunings on purpose. Instead of guessing, you choose one or more high strings to ring as drones, then play movable chord shapes underneath them. This gives you a clear method for creating rich, open-sounding progressions in different keys.
Is this a course?
Not exactly. It’s an interactive chord and progression library. That said, it also includes a user guide that explains both the High Drone Method™ and the tool itself. It also includes an AI assistant.
Who is it for?
It’s for guitarists who want to use Open D for beautiful chords and progressions in any key. You do not need to be advanced, but you should be comfortable reading chord diagrams and changing between chords.
Do I need to know music theory?
No advanced theory is required. It helps to understand basic chord names and keys, but the tool and user guide explain the main ideas you need.
Do I need a capo?
A capo is strongly recommended. In the High Drone Method, the capo is not only used to transpose a progression into other keys — it’s also used to access different high-drone sounds within the same key.
How many chords are in the library?
The library includes more than 4,100 high-drone chords. These chords can then be combined into progressions in countless ways.
Does the library include chord diagrams?
Yes. Every chord in the library includes a chord diagram with suggested fingering. Progressions also show the diagrams for the chords used.
Does the library include audio?
Yes. You can listen to individual and full progressions directly in the library.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, the pages are designed to work in a browser on desktop, tablet, and mobile. However, a larger screen may be more practical.
What happens after I pay?
After payment, you receive access instructions by email. You can then open the library in your browser and start using it.
Is VAT included?
Yes. VAT is included where applicable.
Is the purchase refundable?
Because this is a digital product with immediate online access, all sales are final once access has been granted. Please read the terms before purchasing.
