Open G

tone1

Ok
I've just fired up my Sunburst Belt sander special to open G after checking out Justin Sandercoe's latest 'Brown Sugar' tutorial.
Now I've made a hash of that tune and before I retune to standard tuning can you guys recommend some open G songs to learn?
I've just spent most of today going through Honky tonk woman and Tumbling dice (Capo 4th fret) and they sound blimin ace
I know The Black Crows used a lot of Open G and Robert Johnson but is there anything I'm missing because I can't tell what tuning most songs are in just by listening!
Cheers

The Stones Can You Hear Me Knockin' sounds great in Open G. Regards both them and Robert Johnson , try a capo at 2nd fret to make it Open A. Quite common for Keith to use a capo with Open G so experiment a bit

It might not be your thing but buckcherry use open G a lot.

Get a slide out and mess around with that too.

Led Zep - Black Country Woman and Bron-Y-Aur stomp.  Probably others too that I can't think of.

HAL9000

Another Stones track - Start Me Up - lots of fun to play.

Chuffola

Blackberry Smoke - Shakin' Hands With The a Holy Ghost.

Fantastic song, great fun to play with some nice little Open G tricks.

Zep's That's The Way, In My Time Of Dying, When Levee Breaks and Travelling Riverside Blues. Willin' by Little Feat along with Lowell George's slide parts on almost everything they did. Virtually everything Keef has played since Let It Bleed. Much of Black Crowes' first album. Squeezebox by The Who. Death Letter Blues by either Son House or White Stripes.

Stack shot billy - the black keys
Fearless - Pink Floyd

AuldReekie

More Stones - Honky Tonk Woman and Tumbling Dice

When the Levee Breaks is also tuned down a whole tone though dont forget

"Roaring Waters", a song off the new The Darkness album "Last of Our Kind" is in Open G. It sounds a bit like a little mashup of some GnR riffs with a bluesy groove. Very nice.

GnR bad obsession. Two guitars, rhythm guitar is standard (well Eb) and slash played open G (Gb)

R. L. Burnside, Poor Black Mattie
