Sally Ann in open G tuning

Hope Devin doesn't mind me plugging somebody else's (free) lesson 😬 but I just wanted to share this this tune from Acoustic Guitar magazine.

Alan Barnosky put together tab and a demo of a gorgeous version of Sally Ann in open G tuning by a little-known guitarist called Dudley Hill.

I'd never even tuned a guitar to open G, let alone played anything, but I've managed to get this pretty much nailed in about a week (which means it can't be too difficult!)

It sounds great, and was SO much fun to learn.

Demo and chat:

This is a wonderful tune. I'm going to try it out myself soon. The alternate tunings do open up a whole other world to playing, and I like the Drop D tuning as well.Ā 

Thanks for posting this one, Kate!

As if I didn't already have enough to learn, but it is fun to play with theses tunings.
