Here's a brief guitar lesson on one of my favourite open tunings. As used by Keith Richards, Ry Cooder, Billy Gibbons, etc etc. Try this out with some slide guitar, it should work a treat too. Grab your guitar, tune up, and jam along!
I'm playing my 2007 Fender Baja Telecaster (made in Mexico) into a Fender Deluxe Reverb.

I cannot begin to tell you how much I loved that intro riff!
Get yourself some John Lee Hooker...this be that and he is killin' it!! 👍
Holy SCHNIKES you are right. That was so nasty. I love it.
I know, right? I bet I've come back to this video 50 times just for the 1 minute intro. It's his TONE and the simplicity of what he's playing. It's not anything complex, but he's playing it with a style and finesse that I could never achieve. I stand in awe, and it sure makes this Les Paul devotee wish for a Tele.
I've replayed the beginning of the video just to hear that riff countless times.
My first thought as a beginner guitarist knocking on intermediate is "how the heck am I supposed to remember all the new chord shapes???" and then you show off the secret cheat code and I feel like the beginner that I am.
Awesome, that tone is unreal
First thing I thought as well, after about 5 seconds
What’s the amp? Got that Canned Heat thing going on.
@TheMaxKids Part of his secret is an effects unit he uses. I f you search his videos, he showcases it in one of them. Of course, with all due respect to the unit, a lot of the trick is in his fingers, lol. I love Joey's playing style, also love Canned Heat.
What a great surprise this video is!! Awesome playing. Thank you!
Awesome lesson bro! Preciate ya sharing with us. Loved the jam at the end. 👊🏾
recently bought and fixed up an old resonator guitar which inspired me to learn :) thanks for the great lesson!
Thank you Maestro!! Keep on rocking!!!
No kidding, one of the best most useful videos I've ever watched thanks Joey!
Great lesson.
I really needed some extra help to navigate the board in G.
I really appreciate it. Thanks.
this is amazing! more videos like this. Also please do a video about your guitar tone, settings, pedals and such if you use them. I absolutely love it
This made me feel like a rock star on my baritone ukulele !.. Thank you man this video was great.
That was so cool, love your tone.
Thanks Joey, love that tele and that awesome tone.
Great lesson, I'll need to watch it quite a few more times.
Cool! Liked and subscribed! And I agree, the riffs at the beginning were awesome
I love these videos just got into open g someone I admire used to play in open g because he started on a banjo and that's what they were tuned to so he kept playing in open g on guitars
Ry Cooder. Well done. That sound is fantastic.
This tutorial rocks man!! Abot the intro... is a killer riff bro
Excellent, thank you.
I LIKE the way he lets you TUNE YOUR AX to HIS, instead of just long explanations (which have their place) but just go 'here's how I do it' or 'here's how Keefy does it', etc. COOL!
Love this Joey🎶🎸🙌
Thanks for the tips, coming from banjo to guitar so open G is all I know and love ❤
Love how you played 😍👍
Hi Joey! I'm just now getting into open tunings. This video is very informative. Thank you for sharing this video. New supporter here my friend. Greetings from Florida.
Amazing tutorial dude!!!
Pretty cool . I think even I could get that together . Have a blessed one
At first I thought why are you making it so complicated. (I play Keith in open G a lot) But on second thought, Thanks man. This is truly a revelation. 👍🏽
That guitar and amp combo are proof that no pedals are ever needed haha!!! (except a fuzz of course) LOVE it. GREAT sound
Uh.... There's a ton of spring reverb in there too.
@@James-uz2ne Uh.... yeh, he's playing into a deluxe reverb.....
Great tips, thanks.
Nice lesson,.kudos.
I'm a huge Keef/Stones fan, so I've a Tele set up in Open G minus the low E.
🔥🔥🔥Great lesson Joey, love the way you teach! 🤘🏽
Thanks my man!!
Awesome, looking forward to noodling with this.
Cheers! Have fun
Cool cheers dude gonna try this
I loved it.
That was well done, simple to the point. I did sub. Never been to Ireland yet my grandmothers name, that I never met, was McCune.
- somewhere south of Chicago
Just discovered this channel. Think I may have found the Rory of the 21st century. Awesome tone my friend
Some player my man,many thanks for an exellent watch.
great info here.. Thank you.
Brilliance..simple ...thx
Great sound!
Absolute Top Notch Cheers Pal...
Excelle’t lesson, thank you so much
Very useful!...Thank you !...
Well done brilliant stuff man
Cheers from Wicklow 👍🏻
Very nice playing, subbed 🙏👍👍💪
I have a Squier Classic Vibe Tele which I keep in open G (with a low D) mainly for Keith Richards moments and for slide playing. However, I hadn't thought about using it for playing other Blues tunes so this was really helpful. I also have a Danelectro 56-U2 which I keep in open D for slide playing. Definitely need to experiment more.
Awesome Bro
good man yourself!!! And yes a VERY nice sound!!
nice job Thank You !
great!
Very nice!
Fantastic Joey. More open G would be great. I play 5 string in open G and i have never missed the low E string. You nailed the precision of playing in this style.
Why not tune that low E string up to G so it doubles the low G? Makes for a nice droning sound.
ASK KEITH RICHARDS,WHY!😮😮😮!!!!!!!!!!!!.
great tone
Love this!
Appreciate it dude!
@@JoeyWeidner A number of people have asked about how you get your tone. Please respond. Subscribing to your channel. Rock on!
Very cool
I've experimented w/ using open G Terz Tuning which is basically like playing in Open E w/ a capo on the 3rd Fret
Excellent job Joey. Love my open G and play a lot of slide with it. Now I have quite a bit to add color. Thanks for the very teachable approach. Slainte!
Slainte dude! Appreciate it
Great video!
That is the nicest sounding fender big sound really really good solid sounding six string. First thing I noticed about the video. Been waiting to say it.
Great lesson. Would have been nice on small lesson on the cool jam you were doing at the end, was really cool. Thank you.
Inspiring!
Nice guitar mate !
Awesomeness
Nice!
Nice like your playing.
Clean and concise instruction 👍, I wish we were neighbors
Excellent - just subscribed
Simply excellent. Good style, easy to follow and solid blue's sounds. Well done.
Aboulate awesome tone open g is amazing
Came for some tips, stayed for that face melting tone!!
Wow!
god damn that intro was tighttttttttttt
I DIG,DIG,DIG that Tele!! Is it a custom shop? Sweet tutorial! You got a new subscriber!
Nice
First time I’ve seen a low E in open G. I’ve always tuned that to a D. Your intro playing sure rocked a Texas blues sound. Thanks for the different orientation to the tuning.
Dude, that opening is just so killer! The triads around 3:50 are sweet too. I could go on - great lesson. I like open G for blues/country rock like everyone else, but I like some mystic dreamy stuff too. If you don't mind me mentioning, Rosetta West - Deeper Than Magic (Labyrinth version) is a good example.
watched more and subscribed.
great
Great tutorial. Do you have the scales written down that you could share please? Thanks
Blew 🎉me away !!!!
Man, this is awesome. Years passed since I first wanted to learn how to play blues, and at last it happened ❤ I suddenly learned about open D tuning, and played for some time with that. And I just glipsed over the video that said something about open G tuning. And later then I learned that lot of blues is played like this. Thank you so much 🎉
I don't live too far from Memphis, my 3 string cigar box guitar is a spittin image of yours 👍
Nice Tely
Nice lesson, sir. Love the Tele. Any tips on your setup/action? Getting into slide and still trying to settle on setup.
me too. You got any answer?
one of best blues I heard.
where can i find a video teaching finger picking pattern used during intro jam?
Thank you, man. It’s helpful for me. What amp? It sounds great.
SUPER MERCI BIEN
What a bloody row
I just watched this video, the first of yours I've seen, even though you posted it a couple yeas ago. I'm a late-life beginning guitar player. So far, I've just been concentrating on technique, learning progressions, etc. Haven't really gotten into messing with tones. Just keeping the amp neutral for now. But I love the sounds coming out of your rig. I don't even know enough to describe what I'm hearing, but it sounds like some reverb mixed with a bit of overdrive. Do I have that right? I'm not sure. I'd be really curious to learn a bit about your settings on both guitar and amp to create that sound. Thanx.
That's same tuning I've been playing for 30 years. Leaving 6th string on E is the point. And a lot of players think Open G is good for adding sus4 like keith Richards but actually it's good for playing 7th chords
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can you confirm the amp/pedals you are using and settings please? Excellent vid, first time watching and subscribed straight away 👌 sorry just seen details on front page cheers Joe
Hellzyeah! Them some KillBill licks yo 🤘🔥
Gotta be a Tele for that open G hell yes the flavor
What effects were you using for the jam at the end? Nice guitar playing by the way.
New subscriber here! I’ll be coming back to this video plenty as I learn my way in open G. Please do a video on your right hand technique in the future. That’s how I want to develop my picking hand. Tutorials in that department would be awesome! Sweet tones here gonna make watching this over and over a pleasure 😎👌
Damn...never did reply.
@@chrismason4224 still waiting on those picking hand tutorials... ;)
I GOT 3 mice THAT WILL TEACH YOU THE OPEN TUNINGS, THEY CAN PLAY LIKE NO OTHERS. But they are mute , BUT THEY KNOW THE BLUES.🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶✌️😎BOB
Bro is disclosing the secret sauce. 😉 I remember when I first discovered that open g tuning lends itself to the coolest sounding blues playing. It was a revelation. Slide works great in open g too! The opening riff was sick by the way! 🤙
Спасибо, дружище, очень интересно и увлекательно рассказываешь и показываешь! Подписался
I just learned how to play closed tunings.
didn't even watch a minute and already learnt something xD thx mate for a whole bunch of inspiration :) and I love your shabby guitar
