Open G tuning has powered some of the most iconic blues and rock riffs ever played—but does it sound better on electric or acoustic?

In this video, the same open G riff comes to life on two very different instruments: a gritty electric with sustain and growl, and a resonator acoustic with punch, depth, and raw attack. The contrast is eye-opening (and ear-opening).

Hear how:

Gain and sustain transform the feel of open strings

Lighter vs heavier strings completely change your touch

Slide playing reacts differently on electric and acoustic

Attack, muting, and dynamics shape your tone

If you love blues, slide guitar, or open tunings, this side-by-side comparison will help you understand how each instrument inspires a different kind of sound—and maybe even a different style of playing.
