Open G Tuning was probably the first ever open tuning I learned, suddenly all the Rolling Stones songs I'd been playing before sounded 'right' and it was very exciting. It's also used a lot in slide guitar.
It's pretty easy to get going, just tune strings 6, 5, and 1 down one tone!
Note that "Open A" is the same relative tuning, but every note would be up one tone from what is shown below!
