Open G Tuning Acoustic Guitar Video Lesson

Open guitar tunings are fantastic fun. Yesterday I spent the evening learning this Rolling Stones song Honky Tonk Woman. One thing that is so cool about playing acoustic guitars is that there is always something new to learn. I have been playing in open G tuning for many years and was as excited as a kid to learn something new. What a blast!

Honky Tonk Woman, Rolling Stones

I play several Led Zeppelin songs in open G, as well as a few standard blues tunes. Now I can add this great Stones song to my list. I love Youtube for all the great free guitar lessons. Check out this killer version of honky Talk Woman.

Open E and C7 are two other acoustic guitar tunings to try out. C7 is also known as “sawmill” tuning. Jimmy Page used it on several Zeppelin songs.
