Harmonizing a Melody in Open G
from Advancing Open G Tuning by Greg Horne

Open G is extremely accomodating to harmonies using 3rds, 6ths, 10ths and octaves up and down the neck. Once you get your fingers into the patterns, you'll get hooked and it'll take counseling to make you stop, it sounds that good. We'll also use pedal tones and alternating bass picking.  Launch the lesson.
We hope you enjoy this lesson from WorkshopLive. To view the lesson, you’ll need to do a quick and easy software installation, which will take just a few minutes.

Thank you.

on 02/12/2009 		THANK YOU FOR EXPANDING MY SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE YOUR EFFORTS DO NOT GO UNREWARDED AS THOSE WHO PLAY OUT AND TEACH ARE PROVIDED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE TO SHOW OTHERS THAT THE GUITAR CAN NOT ONLY TALK BUT TALK TO THE INNER SELF. AS A PASTOR I HAVE SHOWN MANY THAT YOU CAN PRAY WITHOUT WORDS SIMPLY BY TALKING WITH THE GUITAR. THANK YOU

Mark Tremonti (Alter Bridge) is a huge influence in my playing, and he plays a lot of Open G fingerpicking. The tutorial is just what I needed.
