I finally got a clue (severe overhead whoosh on my part) that not everybody has a browser slash device that can quickly load twenty or more videos on a single page that's usually limited to ten posts.

I figured I could have one double-vid post if there was at least one post on the page without a vid, and fortunately you made it happen. This reply should be on a new page (granting that the forum default wasn't personally changed).

Sorry about the overkill in the past, C2 (and everyone else that encountered it).



EDIT: Oh, forgot to seize the situation. Perfect place to add Johnson's "real" newest vid, which is not the usual kind submitted to this thread. Part informative and part playing. (Yes, that's it: Nudge "promotional" over to the side a bit to obscure the possibility.)

I think it's Sungha Jung that put in the notes 'Tuning standard.' - I found that, I'd like to say helpful, maybe even enlightening - I'll have to settle for interesting. Part of this is the incredible musicianship that produces ! (I have no words for it) but there's also watching the "you'll never hit that note from there." followed by them hitting that note and (Tommy Emmanuel among others) either metaphorically or literally hitching their trousers up at the same time. Wonderful, wonderful collection. I'm uncharacteristically too blown away to be jealous or mean-spirited - just blown away. Fingers, ballet (more ice-skating) ALL of it. Looping back to where I started from - I'm guessing you ain't no mean axeman in your own right. If you happen to work out the tuning and could throw it in as a comment - would be nice. I'm still at 'How to play blues guitar' from 50 years ago .. kind'a peaked early.

No problem, C2. If they reveal the tuning they're using or make it easy/quick to find, I'll try to add such from now on.

Since he provides them, here are the tunings for Justin Johnson's vids, that have been posted in this thread so far:

SEVEN NATION ARMY (open G hybrid): D-G-D-G-B-E

THESE ARE THE DAYS (open G): D-G-D-G-B-D

WHAT'D I SAY: (standard) E-A-D-G-B-E

GOING TO CALIFORNIA (open G hybrid): D-G-D-G-B-E

BLACK HILLS WIND (open Eb minor): Eb-Bb-Eb-F#-Bb-Eb

- - - - - -

With a non-standard tuning, I usually depend on fretting a note on one string to tune another open or non-fretted string to that pitch. But here's an online guitar tuner with a select menu for some commonly used open and alt guitar tunings. Though not the same, it's "half-step down" tuning still has the pitches for the Eb-minor tuning above (a couple of those to use will just be an octave higher or lower). And its "open-G" tuning will provide the bass D and G notes for the hybrid tuning (the rest of the [higher] strings remain in standard tuning).

Sungha Jung's tunings for vids posted in this thread:

GURENGE (standard tuning): E-A-D-G-B-E

REMINISCENCE (half step down tuning): Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb with capo at 2nd fret position.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: standard tuning with capo at 3rd fret.

ZANKVOSANKA: standard tuning with capo at 4th fret.

RIVER FLOWS IN YOU: standard tuning with capo at 5th fret.

RISE: His own composition; he doesn't seem to provide the tuning (easily, anyway). Probably standard tuning (even the one for "Reminiscence" above is just standard tuning lowered down, string relationships maintained).
