Okay so yesterday I discovered a new tuning. (new to me anyway lol) A guy I work with told me I should try open g tuning. So I googled how to tune my guitar to it and discovered that it is more of a slide guitar tuning . But I like it .... I just have to figure it out. I don't have a slide so I've been killing my fingers sliding bare up and down lol. So anyway here is just a little bit I kinda hashed out and recorded this morning. It is as usually pretty rough but also as usual it's just an idea.

p.s. I havent given up on the other one yet Eddie :no:

Johnny,

You did good on this one. It also sounds good for slide guitar.

Johnny,

Thats pretty good. Like the tone. Your playing clean, that's great.
On the other thing, you'll get there when ready.
