As you may have guessed, I love Open G tuning! Ever wondered why those old blues guys used to call this tuning "Spanish"?

  • what is the name of this song you are playing?

  • @Rookieguitarboy Just some scales I was mucking around with, doesn't really have a name

  • 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!.

  • What scale is that in open G?

  • mixolydian mode I think, but I'm probably wrong
