Justin, Thank You Brother! This tuning was an epiphany! I built a 3-stringer two years ago, tuned to open G, got real comfortable on that, recently had a 4-stringer resonator custom made for me, and could not get comfortable with it, until I saw this vid. I tried many different tunings, none clicked for me like the open A. When I tuned to open A, was grooving away immediately, it's just intuitive, I don't know why open G and E have such dominance, now that I've tried open A.
Just to be clear what makes this turning interesting is not that it’s an open A tuning but rather that it’s a root followed by a first inversion triad rather than the more typical root followed by a second inversion triad. I only mention this because if you play a lot of country/folk blues which is more often in G or C it’s easier to play with others if you have an instrument tuned in open G. If you take Justin’s tuning of « A-C#-E-a »and bring all strings down one note to « G-B-D-g » you’ll be in a form of Open G and everything in Justin’s lesson still works. Great lesson Justin!
35 years old, I've never grasped how to play. This is so helpful. Thank you! Saw you playing a New Mexico plate the other day, will be making my own resonator/electric soon out of Hawaii.
"no wrong way to do it" - You havent heard me try to play...lol
OMGOSH Justin this is fantastic! Thank you so very much! Guitarist for 36 years, having hand trouble now and this looks like a God send for a musical outlet. I sure it’s on one of your videos, but where is a good place to find an inexpensive box guitar. Thank you again, you are an amazing player and teacher!
Thank you Justin I always learn something new from you. This is so good, a great addition to my collection of tunings! just a great bluesy sound 😀🎸
Really great of you to share what you've learned Justin. You are a natural at teaching and that is a specialty in itself. Kudos!
I have been working with a 3 string. I have to get the lite touch with the slide. Having fun, but there is a ton to learn. Thanks for the videos.
Dude I have learned so much from your lessons but the one on slide four string what is the first thing I saw after I got that guitar and it saved me.
I went with DGBd for starters, because it closely resembles the standard 6-string tuning. If I want to add more low end I use an octave pedal.
Thanks for those cool tips on this tuning that I discovered today.
I hurt my hand with a table saw and couldn't play a friend gave me a 4 string shoe box and a slide and said there you go and I'm like what, then I saw your vidio, made there's hope for and old man yet! good job thanks . srv rip!
You certainly know what you are doing.
Hey Texas license plate! Love it!
Thanks for this! Built a 4 string a couple of years back....great little guitar.... but found that 4th string awkward until now. Love the A tuning
Cool lesson. Love the linearness of the slide. That B string 3rd on a six string is no factor here. Cool!
this is amazing, do you actually have like a beginner course for this type of guitar online??? wow
Thanks Justin, I'm off to build a four stringer now!
1st love your stuff. Your teaching is easy to follow. Please explain major 3rd major 5th of what? The minor has the same questions I get lost in this area of music theroy
Love that.
I've got to get a 4 string Cigar box guitar. And thank you for the fyi on a pre amp. And the lessons in tuneage :)you are the Wizard!
Assisti a sua apresentação em agosto 2014, fera demais.
Sounds great similar to Banjo tuning (DGbd)
Thank you, Justin. I just made a 4-string and this helps a lot!
Thank you justin ! Ive been so annoyed with the 4th string abd this video made it finally click !
Thanks!
Thanks! Justin! Really, really gives me something to do when sitting up at 1am. :-)
many thanks for sharing!
I've watched this video alot. Love it. The tone on that guitar is so fat and awesome. Resonates great. Any idea if they ship to the US? Thanks!
+PC Betts Yes I believe they do ship worldwide. I love Gumbo Guitars, and have played several of their guitars on my European tours.
Can you please do a slide "vibrato" lesson :-)
+WordMinistry maybe this will help... ruclips.net/video/TKHKY5Zsipc/видео.html
Very thanks for your videos. One question, Type of string, acoustic or electric? What is the best option and why?
Hello, I am getting a 4 string c.b.g and would like to try this open A tuning from the 4 middle strings of a six pack. Can you please tell me what gauge set I should use 9s, 10s 11s or 12s and should they be an acoustic or electric set? Any advice to this newbie would be extremely grateful.
Can this work on a bass?
Justin can you give me a little advice? What should the spacing be on a 4-string CBG guitar if you want to play it in finger style most of the time? Thanks,
If you use a screw as the nut and bridge, just try different spacing to find what is comfortable to you. You can get fine-pitch screws for more teeth and therefore, more options.
Great!
for slide....what ist the best option, 3 or 4 strings? Very thanks for your job!
