Open G Tuning has uses that range from solo fingerstyle arrangements to electric guitar rhythm parts. In this tutorial, instructor Rob Schumann shows you how to tune a guitar to Open G and form chords out of G major that combine with open string drones to produce a distinctive open sound. For a challenge, try the fingerstyle arrangement that Rob demonstrates at the end of the segment.

  1. this is a spruce top and probably rosewood b/s

  4. When Keith Richards plays "Open G" songs (Brown Sugar, Honky Tonk Women, Start Me Up), doesn’t he usually remove the low G string?

  5. is that a carbon fiber acoustic that Erik Mongrain is playing?

  6. He said "fingering" hur hur! No,seriously,good lesson,the open G is a fantastic thing to experiment with very bluesy,good for the slide all good stuff.
