No lyrics in this, but lots of great playing and advice from Stefan and Tom in open G and A.

Rolling Stones Keef uses it for many Stones riff-oriented tunes. No slide but can give you more options.

Ventilator Blues comes to mind for slide. Probably a bunch of others on Exile.

Take a look at Daddystovepipe's list of videos:

A quick look turned up a few slide tunes in open G.

My favorite Open G slide tune is Walkin Blues, Claptons Unplugged version

I also have been doing a Mike Dowling Opn G blues(not slide or vocal), but its opened up some shapes and new approaches to open G. Be easy to add slide and lyrics to it

Might as well start at the begining... Banty Rooster. This guy talks a lot, which works great for some people. But he seems okay. I play it more like the second vid. But that's the beauty of it. Once you get the thumb and the feel going, there are no rules!
