AJ GHENT

[Michael Messer]

I have been listening to AJ Ghent's Youtube stuff for a while, but I don't think we have any of his tracks on here. Edward Sullivan, from NYC, on the Facebook Slide Guitar group, has been posting stuff about AJ recently, so I thought we should have some on here too!

Another great player in Sacred Steel tradition of people like the Campbell Brothers and Robert Randolph

I was only familiar with AJ Ghent from his demo'ing the Goldtone lap steel guitars, he plays really well and some good vocals there too, thanks for posting.

I have been following AJ on Facebook for a week or so, he posts a lot of great clips in which he plays a six string.
Does anyone know which tuning(s) he uses? People do ask him every now and then, but there never is an answer, also no luck on Google...
Many thanks, Michael

Back in 2015 we discussed his tuning on the Steel Guitar Forum. bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=283769

At that time it was listed thusly:

1. C#
2. B
3. G#
4. F#
5. D#
6. B
7. F#
8. B

His six string guitar is typically played in open E tuning:

1. E
2. B
3. G#
4. E
5. B
6. E

Hope that helps!
