I've been playing in open tunings since the 1970's. Here's a few video examples pieces I've composed in open G.
And for good measure here's a CD cut with both guitar parts (fingerstyle & bottleneck tracks) in open G. I wrote this about my daughter when she was about 2-3 years old. It's called Water Off A Duck's Back. There isn't a bass on the cut. That's my thumb part in the basic track.
Best,

Hey, so I guess if I don't get the hang of t in the first 4 days all is not lost. Lol
Yep it amazes me how much reward there is in just some simple linear ideas, there really is a lot of colors to explore,, very nice playing by the way that tune in the middle kinda reminded me of Ry Cooder. Good stuff!
