Open G Tuning for Beginners to Advanced | Acoustic Guitar Lesson

Your voice is like my North London buddy Am I close ? Want to try genuine fish and chips with the malt. vinegar ( excuse me very , very ADHD). Just got a slide ,thin stainless pipe as is common in wardrobes and shower curtains , got it free from hardware store recycle scrap bucket , bottle neck hurt joints, glass kept rolling off table and shattering . Stainless is a good balance . Richards removed the 6 string completely ,while some other drug addled degenerate , musically gifted , millionaire fills in with rythm guitar . The rest is rock n roll history

Well done , you are good teacher and the tunes are very kind to the beginner . Thank you for taking the time to share .

Fandango is beautiful. Your song? Killer

Klasse, herzlichen Dank für deinen schönen Content. Beste Grüße aus Deutschland 👋

I wish I'd found your channel 30 years ago 🤣

After playing 5 string banjo after all these years I just use open g on guitar play what I love on banjo such as Cripple Creek, Cumberland Gap, Oh Susanna, Skip to my Lou, Ida Red and many others. I playing without picks on my fingers because it has a nice more mellow tone and sound. I l know a lot of old banjo tunes on guitar in open g. I'm just gonna stick with that.

Thanks this video really helped yours truly Ed Ljungdahl.

Outstanding lesson I just happened to stumble upon while bouncing around Open G tuning pages. I've been looking at some slide guitar, this snippet really caught my eye. I did register at your Patreon page. Let's go !! 🙂

Thanks so much for your great lessons. Your explanations and tips are greatly appreciated.

Open g sounds great because of how the chords are stacked.I take off top string off

good teaching. Open G tuning. I want to inderstand the chords up and down the fret board and play slide.

Your singing is really nice.

I like you Joe. I am Tom. May all of your lifetimes be filled with music and playing of music.

Just trying this tuning out for the first time glad I found this video and your channel.

Thanks! i love the sound of Open G and your lessons. Most everyone just cover how to do the tuning, but I really like how you show how to play with the tuning. thanks again

Good lesson, thanks!

Your a great teacher and I am looking forward to seeing your videos every chance I can get
I am 66 years old and I have been trying to learn how to tune my guitar
For my beginner guitar I've got a Epiphone I think they have a great sound but I'm still learning how to play
Thanks for sharing your videos with us all

Absolutely brilliant lesson 👏

Well done nice touch

Thank you 🙏🏽

Thanks so much. Great lessons, very clear and understandable.What I love about the guitar is that there is always something new and different to learn, and you have reminded me to keep exploring other styles, tunings, etc. I'm inspired to add some open G tunes to my repertoire.

Been playing for 40 yrs and always over thought how to play in open G, you opened a new world for me. Thank you!

Great!

Nice one Joe thank you. (a hint of Scouse there perhaps?)👍

Great teacher.

Thx much. Great teaching approach.

Why dont you just refer to the strings numerically ...1st string 2nd string etc why do you jump from numerical to alphabetical. Please Explain

Been thinking of open G tuning for a while now. You've convinced me to tune in. Thanks for the lesson. Nice and clear.

Well! Isn't the open G tuning : D G D G B D ????

Absolutely great! More than 30 years I tried to check out the secret of Romeo and Juliet. You´re so GREAT! Thank you! so much!

I have to admit for me being an advanced player, I almost turned this off...no offence meant, but then you did walking Blues your video made it all worth it !! Plus you did a great job singing it....Thanks Joe !

A great tutorial Joe, many thanks.

thank you so much .. I tuned to open G earlier this week and then came across your video. Totally inspired me to continue to practice my finger picking acoustic and electric for the Stones classics. Just subscribed .. really appreciate you sharing sir.

Great video! I like your style. I'll be back!

Thanks Joe, I've learned so much from your videos, you're a natural teacher. Will be practising on the open G tunings. If I'm playing with others can they stay in normal G C etc?

It's my 1st time watching your channel and this video. Im fairly new to guitar playing but I'm loving it and have calouses 😊😊. I'm going to love the versatility of styles (using a slide, etc) while in open G tuning.

When you were barring the fret, I was a bit confused. I couldn't see if you also were playng/ holding down other string. If it was just barring; yay... super cool and easy. Thank you!!

E to G??? You forget Keith only plays with 5 strings

Nice job. Open tunings expand the vocabulary of the musician. Led Zeppelin III took me forever to learn, but it was worth the instructional value into open tunings.

What an utterly brilliant video. Cheers Joe!

There are tons of things you can do in open G. Start looking around in all the classic recordings of John Fahey and his buddy Leo Kottke. And track down “I Could Have Had Religion” by the great Rory Gallagher. It’s actually very easy to play, but it’s as dark and creepy as any blues ever written. Amaze your friends with what a badass you are.

Impressive!

Nah. The bass E goes UP to G. Credit: K. Richards.

Open G is great tuning..can do Cocaine..simple barre chords.

6 months ago this was a foreign language to me. Things are making sense to me on guitar now. Some people don't learn the fretboard before they learn to play. I recommend drawing a fretboard on a good sized piece of paper that you can see while your practicing. you'll find every note on the board pretty quickly. use a power chord shape on say like all of the E notes up and down the neck. not all of them will sound good together mix it up and try rephrasing. once you can move around the E's, try the D'S. As you advance more, change to more of a bar chord shape, try different root notes(chords}. go from major to minor by lifting your 2 finger on and off the g string (3rd string in standard E tuning). Learn chord shapes also you can move them all around the fretboard. they sound awesome too! Good luck !😀

Joe... Ive been playing guitar for 40 years just to entertain myself. Im not bad but always enjoy learning new stuff. Just ran across you today and really like the way you put the hay down where the aheep can eat! Good job! I look forward to checking out more of your videos. Your style is soothing and encouraging. Exactly what i like.

Another Stones one - Wild Horses. Cheers

I'm a bass player but like banging on the guitar as well, I heard about the open chords a while back but it didn't spark my interest, until now. I can't believe all the enjoyment I was loosing out on, I will get right on that, Thanks.👏
