   Hello GMC:ers! Welcome to my first open tuning lesson. Just a few words about the open tunings. An open tuning is where the strings are intentionally tuned to achieve a chord with all the open strings played together.

In this lesson I used the Open G tuning. So, from low to high strings are:

D-G-D-G-B-D

Obviously, chord shapes are different from the standard tuning. With this open tuning and barre you can play any major chord over the neck. The open G tuning is also used with the bottleneck because it's easy to play these major chords with the slide technique.

I put some bluesy licks and riffs here and I hope you enjoy the lesson.

Key: G major
Time signature: 12/8
Tempo: 96 bpm

Thank you guys.
krawetz: a tuning name can be different in different music styles. In Hawaiian Music, for slack-key guitar, this is called Taro Patch.
