As a non guitarist, after learning to play watch over you and wonderful life (both in open G) in acoustic guitar I found so much inspiration to try and write something in open G. I ended up writing a song that I really like without knowing almost anything guitar
Yep... started playing guitar again after 20 years, and learned Watch Over You as my first song back on guitar. Then thought, while I'm learning in Open G, might as well learn Wonderful Life. Really like Open G. Now, most of the time I have one guitar tuned to standard and the other to Open G.
same tuning, tune it down half step to DbGbDbGbBbDb now you can play 'In Loving Memory'. this open string tuning is so beautiful. every time I'm on acoustic Wonderful Life, Watch Over You and In Loving Memory are top of the list.
I’m so glad you mentioned tuning that B string a little flat. That’s the key. That and muting the low string with your thumb over top when you’re not using it. 😂❤
🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘Brilliant Miles, I remember your tutorial on, Cry of Achilles . Alter bridge are brilliant from the the get go, you*s had it all... Ps you're work with Slash is fantastic,& your the coolest laid back dude on the planet. ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
does mark play the solos to these songs in the same tuning or just standard and playing in the key of the open tuning? cuz i know Open Your Eyes was an open tuning but it had one badass solo in it
I actually changed my strings, thinking they were bad because no matter how much I tuned there was just something sounding off in Open G...had I only known it was just the B string.
Or you could take the B string all the way down to B flat for open G minor. I love the minor tonality. Not as pretty as major tones but it's like my little granddaughter once told me "Grandpa, quit playing that sad music". Sorry girl, Grandpa got the blues.
There's another interesting reason it sounds so appealing as it relates to resonant sound frequencies and how they affect everything around us including our own bodies, the current standard tuning (A440) was only instituted in 1939 (which is worth researching!), Prior to this it was 417, Very basically, the current standard promotes a frequency of 741htz which is disruptive, open G (specifically open Gsus4) promotes a frequency of 528htz which is extremely beneficial, there's plenty of precedent for thIs, weather your inclined spirituality, scientifically, neither or both, I'll post a link below worth watching, Love ya work miles! Particularly your acoustic sets with slash, fuckin' awesome, Cheers🤟 th-cam.com/video/9WoMIg65gnE/w-d-xo.html

What I wouldn’t give to get a whole series of lesson videos from Myles
Myles is the man, very insightful
same tuning, tune it down half step to DbGbDbGbBbDb now you can play 'In Loving Memory'. this open string tuning is so beautiful. every time I'm on acoustic Wonderful Life, Watch Over You and In Loving Memory are top of the list.
I love this! Thank you Myles, how cool to learn from your hero :D
Ok, I am going to start working with open tunings more. Thanks for this!
Thanks Myles. Nice, short and sweet. I appreciate your time and definitely your music. ✌🏼
Thank you myles for being such a down to earth and awesome guy. And sharing knowledge to those of us just learning to play.
I love open G and it is still friendly knowing integrating what you know from Standard. Thanks Myles more please!
Awesome Myles! Thank you
Miles thank you. Shows humility! One of the best singers in the world taking time for hacks like me.
I’m so glad you mentioned tuning that B string a little flat. That’s the key. That and muting the low string with your thumb over top when you’re not using it. 😂❤
Awesome man 😍🙏 that guitar is amazing

What a gorgeous guitar
Great Master, i love that ❤😊
I was introduced to this tuning many, many years ago, back in the mists of time by the tune "That's the Way" by Led Zeppelin. Glorious.
Thanks guys these type of lessons helps me a lot
Myles is a living god on earth. Thank you my friend
You’re a cool dude Myles!! Great voice snd down to earth!!! Thx for sharing you’re songwriting with us!!!
My biggest takeaway from this is tuning the B string a bit flat. Thank you, Myles!

Open Em tuning
Cool Name for your site! ✌️😎
Keef is recognized as one of the great guitarist because of open G.

Does detuning on the B string apply to the Banjo as well?
Its so nice to hear an advice on detuning B 😑
I actually changed my strings, thinking they were bad because no matter how much I tuned there was just something sounding off in Open G...had I only known it was just the B string.
How come the b string sounds flat ?
Altered tuning/ alter bridge tuning
Kalem sob
Wacht over you is in Open G !!
I tune the sixth string up to G to give a double drone.
I was thinking the open G tuning is an Alterbridge signature chords
Or you could take the B string all the way down to B flat for open G minor. I love the minor tonality. Not as pretty as major tones but it's like my little granddaughter once told me "Grandpa, quit playing that sad music". Sorry girl, Grandpa got the blues.
Thanks your vocals are assume
Keith Richards favorite tuning!
His hands are strumming like bees

its called “tempering” the tuning
Aca intentando que mi guitarra no se rompa con esa afinacion xd
Are you Kevin bacon in disguise.
He's actually Macaulay Culkin with long hair
Myles is transitioning into Steven Tyler...
With 10x the talent
Nope. Steven Tyler looks like a floozy great aunt.
…thanks Myles….
Thank you for the excellent video 😊
The Lord’s love + grace be with you
Hope you are all well and resting in Jesus saving love + grace 😊
Blessings friends 😊
Not much song writing here...
Take that low E string off…..it’s klunky..
