Been noodling with a couple of chords today. To remember what I was playing I recorded a sequence of them.
oke, the chords. The first two (sequence) repeat 4 times, then I start with the C and work my way through the mutations on that chord, they may have names, but I don't now them out the top of my head.
D7 C

I had fun jamming over the pattern, didn't record a lead yet, something is still missing.
Mhh I started recording clean with the Epiphone but felt that was to jazzy for my tast so I used Josie with a bit of drive to spice it up a bit.
Not a bad idea at all to have chords that sound right in a progression but without knowing what they are. If it leads to a piece of music that is a bit different all the better!
The root of my fun in altered tuning acoustic guitar improvs is getting away from playing chords I know the names of - it means there's at least a little bit of originality and it's not locked in the strait jacket of a standard progression.
According to a little program I have on the PC those 3 chords of yours might be D9, F6 and CAdd2. Makes sense in fitting in with your D and C chords.
It works miracles when you are tending to fall back on a too familiar chord sequence time after time. Believe me :)
I have to admid, I like non standard open tunings sounds, but I don't have the patience to learn to much about playing leads in them.
Gerd, I don't try to keep timing in another way than having my hand making constand moves and only pick or strum when needed.
tapping my foot won't work longer than 1 minute or so, after that my muscles start to complain.
