If you watch the video you can see Keith playing the chords with one finger, with no other fingers doing anything except holding on to the neck. That is open G. I don't get where the idea of it being in standard is coming from.

I have played Struggle in open G, just like Keith did on SNL. It's not hard. It's interesting.

Hmmmm, I'd have thought it was a bit of a struggle playing that in open-g? Lol!

That is also riffing in E minor7 with standard tuning, as is the case with Struggle...

I don't need to. I have seen the video. I have seen enough of Keith's playing to know when he's using open G.

Well, the most interesting thing is that Struggle is not in open G, neither studio, nor SNL.

To Dandelion

I kind of insist that Rocks Off original studio version main guitartrack by Keith is played in open g, and it is a modified one with the low E remaining on E. (and not D or dropped off á lá Keith) Although highest string D is rarely played in the song, I may feel that guitar is tuned to Open G.

Alright, whatever, y'all think it's not in open G. It very plainly is to me based on how Keith is playing it, not to mention the 5 strings on his guitar. Whether it was discussed here or not does not mean that is correct. If you listen to it you'll never hear the low E string - because there isn't one.

My three faves to play in open G:

All Down the Line
Brown Sugar
Tumbling Dice (capo 4th fret)

One song is missing here:

I Don't Know Why aka Don't Know Why I Love You

F Fsus4
D# D#sus4
C# C#sus4
C# D#
C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C# Fsus4

...........F..........Fsus4
D ----10------10---------
H ----10------11---------
G ----10------10---------
D ----10------12---------
G ----10------10---------
D -----------------------

So, it's basically just playing the 10th, 8th and 6th fret. Have fun!

Well now you're contradicting your thesis.
allthough the video is quite blurry - I see Keith is playing his Micawber.
brass bridge with missing E-saddle .........works well with open G but not standard tuning.
just grabbed my guitar and played along - It is open G.

Re: you re 3 favorit songs in open g to play

And the E-string?

err, wot?

it's 5 strings - call it what you want, the E, D, or G-string is missing.
the fat gauge.

...and the high E-string is tuned to D, like in open G.

What's the Em(7?) chord shape that Keith is using in open-g tuning? I know where it is but Em doesn't sound right. Maybe it's a sus4?

Struggle is open G. So is One Hit even though it's in minor keys. He also plays Wild Horses in open G even though there are minor chords in that song too! Not hard to play.

What's the Em(7?) chord shape that Keith is using in open-g tuning? I know where it is but Em doesn't sound right. Maybe it's a sus4?

The riff is Em sus/Em 7 (simplified, without the pinky)

If you mean in 'Struggle' it's the Em with the second string note moved up two frets?

Jiving Sister Fanny is a good one. That song honks.

While we've been arguing about Keith playing in open G, how about Keith's solo albums? So many good tunes to pick from...
