Sound Advice: Myles Kennedy - Using Open G Guitar Tuning

[@playerofrock04]

What I wouldn’t give to get a whole series of lesson videos from Myles

[@Silent.Gun_]

As a non guitarist, after learning to play watch over you and wonderful life (both in open G) in acoustic guitar I found so much inspiration to try and write something in open G. I ended up writing a song that I really like without knowing almost anything guitar

[@kristakaczmarczyk7599]

Yep... started playing guitar again after 20 years, and learned Watch Over You as my first song back on guitar. Then thought, while I'm learning in Open G, might as well learn Wonderful Life. Really like Open G. Now, most of the time I have one guitar tuned to standard and the other to Open G.

[@jacksmith2897]

Myles is the man, very insightful

[@yourambient]

same tuning, tune it down half step to DbGbDbGbBbDb now you can play 'In Loving Memory'. this open string tuning is so beautiful. every time I'm on acoustic Wonderful Life, Watch Over You and In Loving Memory are top of the list.

[@different5061]

I love this! Thank you Myles, how cool to learn from your hero :D

[@bryanwilliams6032]

Miles thank you. Shows humility! One of the best singers in the world taking time for hacks like me.

[@ryangunwitch-black]

I’m so glad you mentioned tuning that B string a little flat. That’s the key. That and muting the low string with your thumb over top when you’re not using it. 😂❤

[@bwilliams1234]

Thanks Myles. Nice, short and sweet. I appreciate your time and definitely your music. ✌🏼

[@Troy1g]

I love open G and it is still friendly knowing integrating what you know from Standard. Thanks Myles more please!

[@kristijacques-music]

Ok, I am going to start working with open tunings more. Thanks for this!

[@metalheadb3282]

Thank you myles for being such a down to earth and awesome guy. And sharing knowledge to those of us just learning to play.

[@michaelbaynham5107]

I was introduced to this tuning many, many years ago, back in the mists of time by the tune "That's the Way" by Led Zeppelin. Glorious.

[@friedrich1957]

My biggest takeaway from this is tuning the B string a bit flat. Thank you, Myles!

[@mtbmadman011]

Awesome Myles! Thank you

[@StevenLNew]

[@RexAWells]

[@markola]

Genius!!

[@guyhillTophat]

How about a lesson on Cross picking? Open Em tuning

[@AMERICAFIRST54]

Keef is recognized as one of the great guitarist because of open G.

[@Craneoflight]

You look like kevin bacons long lost cosin😊,cool lesson

[@CHXINS5150]

does mark play the solos to these songs in the same tuning or just standard and playing in the key of the open tuning? cuz i know Open Your Eyes was an open tuning but it had one badass solo in it

[@ys25504]

Its so nice to hear an advice on detuning B 😑

[@kristakaczmarczyk7599]

I actually changed my strings, thinking they were bad because no matter how much I tuned there was just something sounding off in Open G...had I only known it was just the B string.

[@chrisharrison809]

Cool lesson! Would be curious to hear this guitar miced and not direct

[@aybarskokmen8884]

Who is the one dislike! Come on man, it’s Myles, there is no one nicer than him

[@thyop89]

It's axl

[@vincenzoloizzi2875]

Wacht over you is in Open G !!

[@lennartvangensinnerud7923]

How come the b string sounds flat ?

[@StephenDoyle-oh8hy]

What's the guitar he's using 🤔??

[@firhanrizani96]

Altered tuning/ alter bridge tuning

[@mrtiesthatbind]

Kalem sob

[@j.stringtwanger]

Does detuning on the B string apply to the Banjo as well?

[@hughcameron]

I tune the sixth string up to G to give a double drone.

[@dhodoadrian]

I was thinking the open G tuning is an Alterbridge signature chords

[@khwmdwnbasumatary3414]

His hands are strumming like bees

[@bennybottleface8804]

There's another interesting reason it sounds so appealing as it relates to resonant sound frequencies and how they affect everything around us including our own bodies, the current standard tuning (A440) was only instituted in 1939 (which is worth researching!), Prior to this it was 417, Very basically, the current standard promotes a frequency of 741htz which is disruptive, open G (specifically open Gsus4) promotes a frequency of 528htz which is extremely beneficial, there's plenty of precedent for thIs, weather your inclined spirituality, scientifically, neither or both, I'll post a link below worth watching, Love ya work miles! Particularly your acoustic sets with slash, fuckin' awesome, Cheers🤟 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4jSfnyda5qapKc

[@robertsparks3584]

Thanks your vocals are assume

[@unclesalty7778]

Keith Richards favorite tuning!

[@gabrielcampillay9835]

Aca intentando que mi guitarra no se rompa con esa afinacion xd

[@karst41]

its called “tempering” the tuning

[@bigdambluesband6295]

Or you could take the B string all the way down to B flat for open G minor. I love the minor tonality. Not as pretty as major tones but it's like my little granddaughter once told me "Grandpa, quit playing that sad music". Sorry girl, Grandpa got the blues.

Myles is transitioning into Steven Tyler...

[@thyop89]

With 10x the talent

[@edt.5118]

Nope. Steven Tyler looks like a floozy great aunt.

[@JesusSavesJohn3verse16]

[@ronald530]

Take that low E string off…..it’s klunky..
