#AcousticGuitarRecording #StandardTuning #OpenTuning
Want to add variety and depth to your acoustic guitar tracks? Try recording one guitar in standard tuning (E A D G B E) and a second acoustic in an Open Tuning to match the key of the song.
In today’s video, Robert demonstrates the MUSICAL MAGIC that happens by combining Standard Tuning + Open G Tuning…both with a capo at the 3rd Fret. (In other words, Open Bb Tuning!) The blend of a mellow ’64 Gibson J-50 and a bright, crisp ’76 Yamaha Nippon Gakki FG-151 make the sound even more vibrant.
See and hear this essential part of the recording process for Cosmic Spin’s upcoming original song “Messenger,” written by Robert himself.
