This is the THE definitive video to get a guitarist onboard with open tuning! Over the last 40 years I have repeatedly tried open tuning, but kept going back to standard tuning. This video changed all that! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this and explain everything so well!

Hello Double D ! I'm one year in , should have picked up the acoustic 50 years ago because now I find I can't put the thing down . This is probably totally off topic - so apologies in advance ... One of my fave songs ever is Wild Horses by R/S . I learnt it in Standard and was quite happy with it , but felt something was missing ... ( christmas pud without brandy butter kinda thing ) Today , I came across a tutorial doing the song in Open G ,(Keith's chosen thang ) and , My God , it transformed the song totally . Sounds stunning / beautiful . And your above demo around the possibilities of Open G have really got me thinking ! So , just a simple thank you from London UK . ps : the item behind you on the Z amp brought back memories of my ex Mother-in-Law ... 😲

[@doubledsrockschool]

Hahaha!! That's the best comment I have received in all year. I hope I can help you out in the future. Cheers Mate!

[@texasredneckhippy]

@doubledsrockschool I am curious if you have played in c sharp open slightly flattened? I heard somewhere Hendrix used it. My 73 D-28 resonates nicely in that range. Anyway thanks again.

[@doubledsrockschool]

I normally play in Eb tuning with my own band. I tuned up to A 440 so it would be easier to follow for everyone watching. Hendrix and the band mostly tuned by ear to each other, so there were many night where they played in tunings that were.....organic. 😆 I love tuning in open G a semitone down. (Open F#?) It's fat and warm sounding.

[@JoeFriday-h9n]

That high e string tuned down is too loose how do you overcome that ? Thanks

[@doubledsrockschool]

Get a thicker gauge of strings, and the tuning will be more stable.

[@JoeFriday-h9n]

@@doubledsrockschool thx

[@doubledsrockschool]

Here is another option. Tune the guitar to Open A. Instead of of lowering the 6th, 5th and 1st down a whole tone, try raising the 4th, 3rd and 2nd string up a whole tone. You'll get the same kind of tuning as Open G but it will be in A instead.

[@booswalia]

I don't understand how you got those 7th chords. At 4:20 you're playing a G chord not a G7.

[@doubledsrockschool]

Fair enough! It only looks like I am playing a G. In reality, the high E string is tuned down to D which means that when you fret the note at the 3rd fret, you are playing a pitch that is one tone lower. So if the 1st string 3rd fret normally sounds G, when you tune it down one tone, you get an F note on the 1st string 3rd fret. Which gives you a G7 chord. GBDF is G7. Forget about where my fingers are placed, listen to the sound of the chord.

[@booswalia]

@@doubledsrockschoolThanks. I didn't realize you were tuned down.

[@LetArtsLive]

So if I use this tuning is it going up from the standard tuning in put more pressure on the neck? Are you using ultra light strings?

[@doubledsrockschool]

I do use light stings, but you'll have less tension on the neck because you tune 3 strings down a whole step, therefore lessening the tension neck. Tune your Low E and A string down a whole step and you high E down a whole step and that is Open G.

[@LetArtsLive]

@@doubledsrockschool thank you it's not that hard is it

[@MARKWOOD-c9n]
