So, while you can use it to play anything from the vast Open G repertoire, it’s worth focusing on its distinctive quirks too. Most importantly, it is much looser (~30% less tension than if the same strings were set to Standard, and ~20% less than Open G). Consequently, the slackness calls for a light touch: ‘overpressing’ can push fretted tones sha")

Like Open D, 6-5-4str form a straight-line power chord (D-A-D), and like Open G, the 3-2-1str give a G major triad (G-B-D) – with the famous DADGAD lying only one twist away (2str -2).
