here are tips to open-G tuning :
- Start by tuning your sixth string down a tone to D. Check the tuning with the fourth (D) string.
- Then tune your fifth string down a tone to G. Check the tuning with the third (G) string.
- Lastly, tune your first string down a tone to D. Check the tuning with the fourth (D) string.
- Start Me Up - Classic Rolling Stones riff played in open G tuning. Note that Keith Richards removed the lowest string from his telecaster for this song (and many others), so the tab only includes notation for the top five strings.
- Honkytonk Women - More open G tuning from the Rolling Stones. Scroll down to the bottom of the tab to see the proper way to play the song.
- Little Green - Joni Mitchell track from her album Blue. Lots of fingerpicking in this one.
- Nathan LaFraneer - Another Joni Mitchell song from her self titled 1968 album. More fingerpicking here.
- Twice As Hard - From The Black Crowes 1990 album Shake Your Money Maker, this track features quite a few guitars, MOST (but not all) of them in open G tuning.
