Names of songs you play in open G tuning

Also a song Alex Lifeson does solo on an acoustic 12 string. He’s uses some open tuning. Not sure if it’s considered Open D or some hybrid open tuning invented by Alex…. Which would not surprise me. Anyway…. Song title is “Hope.” You Tube it. It’s awesome…. Even if one isn’t enamored with acoustic guitar.
 
Sorry for the thread hijack, but as I was checking out some ALEX, I ran across this.

WHAT do you guys think of this wild clip?


I just had to too. Here is the set list from that show.

Open G Tuning: A Great Option For Guitarists Looking For A Unique Sound​

As a tuning for rock and blues, open G tuning is extremely popular, and it produces a bright and jangly sound. Keith Richards has even recorded a few songs in open G tuning, making him one of the most vocal proponents. Open G is an excellent choice for those who want to try something new and interesting.

I really enjoy alternate tunings, not just the traditional drop D and step tunings. I play a lot in half-step tuning, drop D or even Drop C# but playing around with stuff like Open G, Open C, DADGAD is really cool too and lets you explorer different sounds.

Yes for sure, I play in DADGAD as well, its a good thing to experiment in alternate tunings..
 
So with the discussion in the riffmaster thread about slide guitar and open tuning. Rather than put this post there and clutter that thread up even more…. This seemed like an appropriate place.

Was doing a little research on open tunings. Checked out what Lifeson used on his song “Hope”…… which has been posted in this thread. And also what Stills did on “Suite Judy Blue Eyes.”

Lifeson was tuned: DADAAD
Stills was tuned: EEEEBE
