That's one thing I didn't know about open g that it was called the spanish tuning many years ago. I love open g to it's my favourite. I've tried the spanish on my resonator and it does sound great. Gracias Senoir ARRRRRRREEEEEEEBA.

I believe it's named "Spanish" tuning after the song "Spanish Fandango", which was played in that tuning, not that it's actually from Spain.

Open D is "Vastapol", for the same reason (after a song that was played in it).

Great playing! :)

Thanks!, I knew the Vastapol story, but hadn't heard the fandango story, makes sense!.
