About: Open G tuning

An Entity of Type: Tuning100999588, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Among alternative tunings for the guitar, an open G tuning is an open tuning that features the G-major chord; its open notes are selected from the notes of a G-major chord, such as the G-major triad (G,B,D). For example, a popular open-G tuning is D–G–D–G–B–D (low to high). Mark Knopfler, of Dire Straits, used the open G tuning on "Walkin' In The Wild West End" and "Romeo and Juliet", though, in both songs, the open chord was the IV (subdominant,) chord, not the home (tonic) chord of the song. On "Romeo and Juliet", a capo was placed on the third fret. The repetitive open-G tuning

dbo:abstract
  • Die offene G-Stimmung ist eine Skordatur der Gitarre. Die Saiten sind dabei so gestimmt, dass beim Anschlagen der leeren Saiten ein G-Dur Akkord erklingt. Ausgehend von der Standardstimmung (E – A – d – g – h – e1) erhält man die offene G-Stimmung (D – G – d – g – h – d1) wie folgt: * Die sechste Saite (Bass-Saite) wird einen Ganzton tiefer gestimmt. Sie muss dann eine Oktave tiefer klingen als die leere vierte Saite. Die sechste Saite im siebten Bund und die leere fünfte Saite sollten also gleich klingen. * Die fünfte Saite wird einen Ganzton tiefer gestimmt und klingt dann eine Oktave tiefer als die leere dritte Saite. * Die erste Saite wird ebenfalls einen Ton tiefer gestimmt und klingt dann eine Oktave höher als die leere vierte Saite oder wie die zweite Saite im dritten Bund.

  • Among alternative tunings for the guitar, an open G tuning is an open tuning that features the G-major chord; its open notes are selected from the notes of a G-major chord, such as the G-major triad (G,B,D). For example, a popular open-G tuning is D–G–D–G–B–D (low to high). An open-G tuning allows a G-major chord to be strummed on all six strings with neither fretting of the left hand nor a capo. Like other open tunings, it allows the eleven major chords besides G major each to be strummed by barring at most one finger on exactly one fret. Open tunings are common in blues and folk music, and they are used in the playing of slide and bottleneck guitars. Mark Knopfler, of Dire Straits, used the open G tuning on "Walkin' In The Wild West End" and "Romeo and Juliet", though, in both songs, the open chord was the IV (subdominant,) chord, not the home (tonic) chord of the song. On "Romeo and Juliet", a capo was placed on the third fret. Repetitive open-G tunings are used by Russian guitars, Dobro guitars, and banjos. They repeat three open-string notes. The repetitive open-G tuning D–G–B–D–G–B–D2.44444442.}" />Audio playback is not supported in your browser. You can . is used by the Russian guitar, which has seven strings tuned mostly in triads, in contrast to other guitars, which are tuned mostly in fourths. Dobros use a full six-string tuning with a bottom G: G–B–D–G–B–D, low to high. The two lowest strings are, accordingly, tuned three semitones higher for the lowest string (from E up to G) and two semitones higher for the second-lowest string (from A up to B) while the highest string is tuned two semitones lower (from E down to D), relative to standard tuning. Five-string banjo's standard tuning is also an Open G: g–D–G–B–D, where the lower case "g" denotes the highest-pitched "drone string", physically located next to (above) the lowest-pitched string, the first upper case "D".
