Keith Richards, half man, half cigarette, is the legendary guitarist of The Rolling Stones<\/a>. Having been in the game for as long as he has, it is no wonder that he experimented with alternate tuning<\/a>. Although you can catch him using Open D and Open E, his favorite is Open G. To refresh your memory, a standard guitar tuning is EADGBE. In order to get the Open G tuning, you want the strings tuned to DGDGBD. Here\u2019s how to do that with your Roadie 2 tuner.<\/p>\n

Getting the Open G with your Roadie<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Grab your guitar, your Roadie 3<\/a>, and your phone. You don\u2019t need to tell anyone what you\u2019re about to do, so you can safely close Instagram and open up the Roadie app instead. From the app, choose a six-string guitar, and select Create New Tuning. This is where you add DGDGBD. Once you\u2019re done, name the tuning \u2018Keith2050\u2019 — I\u2019ll explain why in a bit. Once you\u2019ve saved the alternate tuning, hit Sync to save it. Put Roadie 2 to the tuning pegs, and let the magic device do its thing. Put on a bandana, and play \u2018Honkey Tonk Woman\u2019:<\/p>\n\n
