Open G Tuning (DGDGBD). I am playing my Japanese Fender Telecaster on this one. Just a G improvisation stuff...
There are lots of easy tricks and licks as you start to learn how to use this alternate tuning. I started tryin' because Keith Richards uses it. Also very cool to play slide too.

  • Do you have your action set to play slide or is this just a normal setup?

  • @CAGETHEELEPHANTCOVER

    Normal setup on this one, in fact quite low action. Thanks for watching!

  • I can bet my hat you are using a G-Dec

    

  • @DannyBoyStratt, yes, it's a G-DEC!

  • you don't happen to have even a rough tab of this, do you? for sale? a website or anything? i play open g a lot but am pretty much stuck in a blues thing. I don't use the word awesome very often, but this was fucking awesome. i know you must be a big keith fan, but keith couldn't play this. you've passed your hero.

  • Thank you so much for your kind appreciation! Unfortunately, I have no tabs, this was pure improvisation. I started playing open G 3 months before recording this video. My advice is : just try different things see how it sounds, that's the way I "found out" about those licks, I can't even read music. My secret might be, I play a lot of air strings (fret 0), that's the purpose of an open tuning. Thanks very much!!!

  • Killer improv.. just googled Open G Licks and this came up.. guess i won't be tuning my guitar back to standard just yet...!

  • Hey man, thanks again for all your guitar vids, esp. this one. I posted a vid of me playing in this tuning, I'd love some feedback.

    Its one thing to copy Keith's riffs, its a whole other thing to try to invent your own that "work" in the same way. After nearly 4 years of playing, I think I finally have started to get a handle on this style of guitar playing.

  • Im digging the hell out of this

  • NICE

  • fuck off to all that think that telecaster is not good for solos!!! geat job man!!! And sorry for my horrible english :)

  • fuck off to all that think telecaster is not good for solo!!! great job man!!!
