If you like this video, check out my "TOP 3 FAVORITE OPEN TUNINGS" here ruclips.net/video/ccT1nSrGWkY/видео.html
First open G song I learned was " Wild Horses" which naturally led me to other open G stuff by the Stones.
Since then its been fun to transpose other artists work into open G and the resonance and drone you get
rally transforms the feel of these songs. Even simple stuff like Walker Brothers "No Regrets" or The Kinks
"Waterloo Sunset" completely transform. Moving on , some minor chords are a nightmare but they are on
the neck somewhere!!
Great choices!! You gotta love the Stones and the Black Crowes!! It’s great to hear where you get your sound and influences!
Thanks for the encouragement my friend!
Thank you for sharing man appreciate it
"Can't You Hear Me Knocking"
How about Honky tonk woman
The first song that came to my mind!
Best of the best
That was effin' amazing! Thank you.
Another great video- love what I learn here- thank you!
Thank you!!
Just started learning open (g) tuning - appreciate the instruction... dig your originals too...
Thank you!
Outstanding job. Thank you
Thank you!!
I’d like to see something on that CBG behind you! Great video!
Thanks for the really great content!
Thank you so much!
Subscribed! Good stuff. Unique point of view.
Thank you so much!
Great choices including your own two. Started playing slide when I tore my bicep tendon and couldn’t fret. Placed guitar in open G on a table and never looked back. Tuning 6th string to a G (replaced with an A gauge string) to avoid that D, and the double G has some nifty uses. Keep em coming Double D.
Thank Maxy! I got used to the top D string, and I use it to accentuate the V chord in a blues with that nice low D on the top string. It takes more control not to flub the notes on the low string. It would be fun to try the double G trick. I bet it sounds really rich and full. Cheers!
Cool video. Beautiful crisp lead guitar work.
Thank you so much!
Thank you Maestro 👌 !!! Great original songs number 9 and 10
Thank you my friend!!
Thanks! More please
Thanks 4 sharing your originals
Thanks for listening
The DD Team
Thanks mate , this is a brilliant video.
Thank you Sean!
Glad I came across your videos. Keep up the awesome videos! Def subscribed now
Thank you very much! Welcome aboard!
Hearing “Dice” isolated here got me in the solar plexus-it finally explained why that song was all I talked about after catchin em live at the Coliseum when GNR opened for em. It was unforgettable!! 🤘🤘
Wow! That must have been one hell of a show!
This is sick! I didn't realize so much was created in open G that I love! I only recently started looking into it after talking to Gran Hechicero about what tuning he uses, he swears by open G, great video! made a lot of sense to me haha
Thank you! I am so happy you enjoyed it!
Sick, but hopefully it will get better. 🙄
Wooooow!! Excelente!
Love it bro! Really gonna nick your riffs dude too. Subscribed.
Thank you, Chris!! Welcome abord! Cheers!
awsome thank you great fun
Thank you so much! Let me know if there is anything you'd like me to cover.
Traveling Riverside Blues. My first open G song. Good jams, thanks!
Thanks for listening!! Cheers!
First time here. Subscribed!
Good video. Enjoyed it!
Much thanks Chris!
Open G kept me playing guitar. After 25 years I was bored with it.
One RUclips video on open G and Keef riffs brought me back.
That's great! Welcome back!
Good stuff. Like how you included your song. Also like how you mention that it’s not necessary to play a cover perfectly. Creativity is a gift.
Thank you Dave! 😊 As a writer, I am more focused on making music instead of copying to perfection. We learn a lot about music by learning what the masters have done before us but, we are not slaves to that one performance that was recorded for the album. Cheers!!
Great tunes of yours
Thank you!
Cool content!
Love them riffs!!!!!
Thank you Fab!!
Cool songs you came up with man.
Thank you very much!
Awesome guitar skills!! loved this. How about Brown Sugar? I enjoyed your original tunes also!!
Thank you so much! I could do a top ten songs just on Rolling Stones songs!
Your two were spot on, nice,
Thank you!!
The Black Keys Yearnin' is a great one and Greg Allman Come and Go Blues is another great one. The Stones have too many to name but Can't you Hear me Knockin and Moonlight Mile are my favorites.
There are so many choices! I might have to revisit this subject!
awesome playing man.
Thank you Roy!!
THX!
My pleasure!
Nice vid. Sweet guitar. Looks identical to my Fender American Deluxe. Tuned to open G of course. 😎
My favorite open tuning!
I absolutely love to play Zebra’s “WHO’s behind the door” it has a lot of chord changes …. #9 and 10 on the list is awesome! Really enjoyed the attitude it gave…. Would love to learn them!
Wow haven't heard Zebra mentioned in ages. I still have that album from...' 80? They used to come through Jackson MS and play at the Old Lamar Theater.
Hey, Thanks so much for the encouragement!
Great video mate. I like open G tuning.
I love it too! I wrote a bunch of tunes in Open G!
Love your attitude and style. What is that cool black guitar hanging behind your left shoulder ? Big fan of open G tuning. Thanks
The guitar is a beautiful V8 Custom Guitars "HotRod Collection" "Bonneville" model.

Thank you so much for your comment!
The DD Team
nice riffs.. I liked 9 and 10 the best honestly... Nothing feels as good as creating your own awesome music. Cheers
Wow! Thanks for the kinds words!
@@doubledsrockschool Anytime man.. I am just an old amateur rocker myself (mostly drums n bass). But I know a good riff when I hear it. Also, I think 99.9% of the time a musician plays their own riffs the best, because it is an expression of themselves. This comes through in the music IMHO. Like When shrEddie Van Halen played Eruption or John Bonham played Moby Dick. Sublime :)
the 'like' is for your 'look ma, no hands'. made my day!
Hahaha! Thank you!
damn nice job !!
Cheers man! Thank you!
DOWN DOWN STATUS QUO
Cool vidéo
Hey brother beautiful just beautiful! My favorite stones open G tuning song of all time is the intro to “can’t you hear me knocking“
Rock on!
The Stones have so many, I could have done a Top 10, just on them!! Thanks Brother!
@@doubledsrockschool You should have!
Like I said in the video...I could have done a top 10 Stones songs in Open G!
@@doubledsrockschool Like I said in my comment.....you should have!
Some of the best advice to guitarists stated during introductions 👍
Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement 🙏
When I read the description I thought all the tunes would b Stones riffs. I learned a couple of my favorites are in this tuning. I had no idea Black Crowes tunes used Open G. Makes sense when I think about. Hey ur original tune #10 is very dope!!
Thanks for the good words! I have another one on Stones open G riffs. Check this out.ruclips.net/video/Svgx1oS3Qf4/видео.html
Nice one..
Twice as hard is an overlooked gem of blues rock songs. Killer rif and killer vocals! Thanks Dwayne! See you around and would love to play with you at a jam night sometime
J
The pleasure would be all mine. What part of the world do you in?
Nice. A few more that I enjoy: Dancing Days by Led Zeppelin, Running on Empty by Jackson Browne, Honky Tonk Woman & Brown Sugar by the Stones.
All great tunes!!
Great video! Also, how can a channel this good have only 486 subscribers!
We're brand new! Not even a month old. Thanks gor the encouragement!!
@@doubledsrockschool Cool! Keep it going! Greetings from the UK!
Honkey Tonk Women was the song that first got me interested in Open G and i still love playing it. Some others i think worth mentioning are:
Jealous Again - Black Crowes
Brown Sugar - Rolling Stones
Death Letter Blues - White Stripes
Bohemian Like You - Dandy Warhols
I love all those tunes!!
Yes absolutely -- I was totally expecting Honky Tonk Women to be #1 on the list. It's really the iconic open-G tuning song. Also I think the best Zeppelin example is probably In My Time of Dying.
I just did a video on Led Zep Open G songs. Check it out! ruclips.net/video/q5bGFYMC8SM/видео.html
Your stuff sounds good DD and so does your guitar. Do u get your sustain from the pickups or amp?
Thank you, Kenneth. I usually create sustain using gain-staging. I don't get to turn my amp up in my little studio loud enough to get power amp tube compression. I have a Dr.Z Airbreak attenuator that is set at about 40%, then I use a compressor pedal, usually a Keeley or an SP compresor set to a mild compression, which I plug into 2, mid-gain overdrives set to taste. The light gain stages add up to make an almost infinite sustain. Using gain-staging, you get great guitar-feedback notes at a very reasonable volume. Of course, good pick-ups helps and so does having a good set-up on your guitar. It all counts. But I always use gain staging to go a good sound without going deaf.
Great picks and awesome playing! I was having a go at Thats the Way by Led Zeppelin recently, a bit tricky but such a nice sound on an acoustic! Thanks for the great video 👍
Well thank you! Let me know if there is anything else I can cover for you! Cheers!
Jail house rock is fresh in open g. Hot blooded is an easy tune in open g too.. feels like the first time sounds good but a little harder . Thanks for the video.
Can't You Hear Me Knocking Stones
Just started really doing the open g thing, due to arthritis in part lol. I dig it brother
I feel you Brother

Open G is an awesome tool! Do you play slide in G? It's easy on the fingers!
I have to reinvent myself as a guitarist because I smashed my ring finger at work so I'm looking to develop my pinky slide playing. Good on ya mate, thanks.
I have always played slide on the pinky finger. I am glad you are not letting your mishap get in the way of your progress! Cheers!
@@doubledsrockschoolhe's now part of the long and esteemed tradition of guitarists who play with mangled hands. Man is following the footsteps of Django Reinhardt and Tommy Iommi. Best of luck! If Django can still rip it up with 2 fingers on his fretting hand, you can rip it up with a slide on your crushed pinky. Just takes practices and time
A right handed friend of mine (guitar player) lost half of his left index finger. Never wanting to give up guitar, taught himself to play left handed. Rhythm only but not too shabby.
Wow! That is dedication!!!
like #9 good job sir
Thank you Jay!
Cool.
Thank you!
I'm a drummer, but also play a 3 string Cigar Box guitar using open G tuning. One of my favorites is "Slow and Easy" by Whitesnake.
Wow! That's cool! I have a 4 string cigar box, but I took one string of it, and I love it as a 3 string. Keep on rockin'!!
Absolutely loved this video. Jack Flash approved!😛
You will like the one coming out this morning at 11am eastern time then ❤️
Thank you so much for your kind comment, highly appreciated.
Which one did you like the most?
Frank from
The DDRS team
I love John Fahey's On the sunny side of the ocean.
I don't know that one. I'll have to check it out.
I liked your own songs. Very nice.
Thank you very much Andrew!
Some *_killer_* riffs guitar
Thank you!!
Number 10 gave me a AC/DC - ZZtop vibe. I like it!
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Way to put your own stuff in there Dwayne, it's great, too!!!
Thanks Eric!!
The Number 9 riff is Awesome!
Thank you so much!!
Great picks. Move It On Over by George Thorogood is a personal fave of mine.
Thanks!! Me too I love GT and the Destroyers! He was who got me into Open G tuning. Move it on Over is a classic!
Nice‼️ All inspirational. As a mediocre beginner this has opened up a whole new deal.
Thank you Ronnie!! I appreciate the good words! Keep hammering away man!
🙂 I will be now that you have opened the door, so to speak. No one ever told me about open chords. This changes a lotta things 😀
I am so happy to hear that!!
In loving memory, watch over you and wonderful life by Alter Bridge
I would definitely put I Wanna Be in LA by eagles of death metal. Such a fun song
Many Bee Gees songs are open tuning too. Open D is what Barry seemed to like using... Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the info!
Alright Now and Can't Get Enough....soul survivor....
Holy cow that Strat sounds magnificent. I always associate Open G with Les Pauls and Telecasters mostly.
Thanks man!! A Strats are the Swiss Army of guitars! I love this particular one. It's a Frankenstrat. Pieces from all over the place.
Nice list. I would add "Watch Over You" by Alter Bridge.
Spent a year tuning to nothing but G it was worth it , nothing but riffs in that ,leads fly off the neck because the the 3 middle strings don't change, dig.
Honky Tonk Woman, nuff said
I love That's The Way by Led Zeppelin. That was the first song I learned in open G.
Great tune!
Same here!
Hmmmm. I have always played this song in DADGAD
My time us running low is sick. I wanna write something like that for a metal/punky jam... FUZZED OUT!!!
Go for it!! That's the beauty of music. We all share and learn from each other!
@@doubledsrockschool truth
Fender’s QC was all over for these - coincidence that a load of staff got laid off?
I persisted and ended up with a 2nd one that plays and sounds beautifully, but still wasn’t perfect (truss rod loosened off only gave .010”, also slight scar on the fretboard) I complained and got some money knocked off.
The fretwork was good on mine and I’ve done numerous 3 hour live jams playing with it - the narrow tall frets were an adjustment from jumbos but I simply had to become more accurate in the lower frets,
I’ve no issue with the pickups to be honest.
All I have ever played in is open G.
I need to explain a bit. I build cigar box guitars.
they are usually tuned in open G.
I can't seem to get the hang of any instrument built by anybody else.
So three string guitars for me.
Also I came here to find some songs I might be able to play
Instead I found that my own riffs and musics (NW whitewater river blues )are just as good as any other as long as I am having fun and people and tappen their toes.
Thank yous so much
I love cigarbox guitars. My friend made me a 4 string that I tune in an Open G hybrid tuning. Endless fun!
This sounds amazing! Please, What amp, dirt pedal are you using. The playing and sound is legit! Thank you brother and Rock On!
Wow! Thank you so much! I am using a Universal Audio Dream 65 pedal. It is a really nice simulation of a 1965 Deluxe Reverb amp. I believe in this particular video I have it set to the original 1965 specs. Volume and gain set to taste with a pinch of reverb from pedal (that sounds great), and the EQ setiings at noon. The pedal is plugged into an Avalon 737 channel strip. I highly recommend it. What an awesome direct recording device. What do you use when you perform?
@doubledsrockschool I run my Axe Fx III in stereo with two powered speakers behind me. I also run a Marshall or Friedman head head pushing a 2x12 cab up the middle of the aforementioned. I call it the poor man's wet/dry/wet rig. It sounds killer and is inspiring to play. It's a three piece, so it helps sustain the dream, if you catch my drift!
That must sound killer and really flexible. What kind of pedals, if any do you have in the rig? I'am curious.
@doubledsrockschool I have a Carpe Diem dirt box, Wampler mini Rat pedal and a wampler mini TS pedal. I'm currently hitting the front end of my tube amps with the wampler stuff. But that Carpe Diem pedal rocks!..Marshall is a box.
Very nice -lesson -thankyou --ON Jumping Jack flash ---how does one play the first open G chord in the intro ?beginning ? Do you simply strum the open strings like I think you are doing ?----followed by the other 2 chords ?
Thank you! I am glad you liked the video. You are exactly right about the intro. Strum the open chord followed by the other 2. It's a fun tune, especially when you play it in open G. Way back in the when I first started, we all played it in standard tuning and I wondered why it never sounded quite right. Now we know... lol.
You are a well accomplished player --thankyou for the prompt reply -and valuable info --now I know why this song never sounded quite right in STD tuning----I was 19 in 1969-- when I bought this vinyl record by the Stones ---I live in Central Africa---used to build my own guitars --Now at 74 its difficult to keep up with shredding -----thankyou again --
@@doubledsrockschool
Oh wow! Cool story!!
And thank you very much!
Blackberry Smoke Runaway from it all!
Great band and a great song!!
Hey man just saw this Pretty cool, #10 was good I liked it. I would like to hear the whole song actually. Drop a link and I’ll check it out For sure. I’m just getting g going on all this social media and what not but I’ll be following you now. For real Point me in the direction of the music dude. Let me know what you think of this. Jpallas rain on me. I agree on that remedy song EPIK
Thank you!! Remedy really is epic!! Great tune. I'll work on that. Here is a link to #10, ruclips.net/video/yr0MksGxP5M/видео.htmlsi=h5_XjnWt8cz0tDXB
Bad Company’s Can’t Get Enough! For a start...
I played this live for years, including the harmony solo with the other guitarist, and it never occurred to me that it was in open G - will go and revisit!
I never Can't Get Enough was in open either!
Faithful by Pearl Jam
Daughter is actually in "double open G", in that the 6th is tuned up to another G, not down to D. That gives it a fuller sounder, with a distinct tone because of the high tension on the 6th string, also invites a more aggressive strumming approach.
Thanks for the heads up!! I'll have to try that.
@@doubledsrockschool I'm used to playing it in a very different position too, fingering the 4th and fifth strings rather than the third and fourth. Your version is very "polite". Using the heavier wound strings gives a massive fat sound, with the open 6th tuned to G providing a strong pedal tone you seem to be missing.
Check out "Bullfrog Blues" by Rory Gallagher👍
I play open G, but I remove the "Low E" - Low G in this case. Keith Richards style. Great tuning.
I love Open G! Endless fun!
Wild Horses by The Rolling Stones would definitely be on my list!
Wild Horses gets your video flagged. I had to cut it out of a video. I tried it twice.
That Black Crows song sounds like Zep's In My Time of Dying turned around a bit.
I never thought of that but, yeah your right! What's your favorite open G song?
Can’t you hear me knocking?!!
I thought Jumping Jack Flash was in Open E? But i guess you can also play it in Open G. Sounded nice!
Thank you! Even Keith played it both ways.
I love hearing this tuning with a heavier guitar tone. I'm exploring the possibility of playing Doom Metal with Open G, just because of the inverted 5th power chords. They make the guitar sound like it is tuned much lower than it actually is.
That's a great idea! I am sure it would sound wicked! You can even tune the high E to E instead of D. You have a heavy de-tuned bottom end but standard tuning from the 4th to 1st string. Ripping leads without the fingering change.
@@doubledsrockschool Didn't even think of that! Yup. Trying that instead!
Actually, DGDGBE tuning is called Open G6. Cool.
Remedy reminds me of Aerosmith Woman of the world
Flood Water Rising🔥
Thanks man!!
