Tips & Comments
i have a korg ga-30 also and its not picking up the 5th string either and when i try to get to the 4th string it breaks.
It would be a whole lot better if you had a video showing how to tune a guitar from the standard to the open G. My tuner (korg GA-30) isn't picking up the G on the 5th string...
Useful, but a couple of mistakes. "Top string" actually means the highest pitched, so the thinnest one. A chord is at least 2 notes so playing the low string on it's own is not a chord. I spent all last night converting my old guitar into a lap steel and when using this video to get it in tune, the high G's tuning peg snapped off, I blame you. To the guy who said not to leave negative comments if not leaving my name: I would but I've never used this site before and can't say for sure if i will again, so not signing up.
keith richards said that "all you need to play any rolling stones song was 5strings, two fingers and one asshole" Those 5strings are contained in an open G tuning MINUS THE TOP D. so GDGBD
keith richards plays in an open G. he had several 5 string guitars made that have the "contained" G major chord- leave off the top D: GDGBD. He said "all it takes to play any Rolling Stones song is 5 strings, two fingers, and one asshole."
This is really just a video showing the notes of Open G Tuning. It's not a tuning i ever use - Stick to Standard Drop D or 1/2 Step down god dammit! Made me laugh a few times. Helpful to newbies i suppose but not for me.
