In this video, we're diving deeper into Open G tuning, also known as Slack Key tuning in Hawaii. I'll cover some finer points and history behind this tuning, explaining its origins with Portuguese sailors and how it differs from standard tuning.
I'll start with some beautiful Hawaiian Slack Key melodies before transitioning into traditional blues. I'll demonstrate a few turnarounds and licks, showcasing the versatility of Open G.
We'll explore the rich sounds of this tuning and how it can enhance your playing, whether you're jamming acoustically, playing slide guitar, or rocking out with an uptempo vibe. From Hawaiian melodies to gut-bucket blues, and even classic rock riffs, Open G offers a world of possibilities.
Join me as I blend fingerstyle techniques, slide guitar, and a variety of styles, showing you how to make the most of Open G tuning. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced player, there's something here for you.

I learned Open G via Keith Richards, but I love that you can play in other styles. I play Open D and DADGAD, which gives you the wonderful folk sounds, but now I will try it with Open G. Tom Strahle on his channel recently has done great lessons on different Open D and DADGAD etc. Thank you for covering this topic and expanding my world!
