How
Tune down the 1:st and 6:th string a whole step to D, compare with the 4:th string D
Tune down the 5:th string a whole step to G, compare with the 3:string G.
The Open-G tuning has been frequently used by many slide and bottleneck players. And it is also Keith Richardīs of the Rolling Stones favorite tuning in which he plays about 50% of his stuff. He uses a capo on different frets to play in other keys. Check also open A-tuning and playing in open G and A and slide guitar.
