Terrible sounding chords with that tuning. Buy a four string cbg. It is a lot more versatile and sounds great with standard tuning.

The original tuning for the first strings he used were (from lowest to highest) A-D-G-B. He just tuned the A to a G: G-D-G-B (open G). You could also use D-G-B-D (banjo tuning without the drone string)

If i tune 151 like almost every cigar box guitar player does, i can play any chord with only 1 finger. GDG, DAD, EBE etc.

I'm trying to learning how to play these CBG's that I make, and just finished a 4 string. You mentioned 2 chord shapes in this video. What was the finger position? I don't know any chord shapes.

Far easier ways to do the exact same thing with D or G open tuning. DAD or GDG 151 tuning makes more sense. Most Blues and Rock songs are played in the 1-4-5 method, which is so easy to do in 1-5-1 tuning. This method is confusing and based off of a 6 string concept.

Excellent lesson. I think the Open A tuning you're using is actually better than the Open G that's now almost standard. Appreciate you taking the time and effort to share this.

What are the best strings, acoustic, classic (nylon), or electric? In the case of using magnetic pickup's, it will be better electrical I suppose ... but, the electrical strings are more difficult to press? Thank you very much!

you should stretch new strings to avoid that problem. There are lots of videos on You Tube that will explain this.

+Keith Glass I use the A-D-G strings (from bottom to top the 3rd, 4th and 5th). This is also good because a lot of people like the GDG tuning on a cbg and that tuning uses the same strings. This makes it easy to change tunings quickly depending on what you're making.

Typically with CBG's that are tuned G-D-G the low 'G' is achieved by using an A string from a standard pack of strings and just tuning it down a whole step to G. Hope that makes sense.
