Open tunings on a guitar are tunings which allow you to play a chord without holding down any strings at any fret, thus giving you an open chord. Open G tuning is the most common open tuning, used mostly for blues, slide guitar and some folk. Artists who use open G guitar tuning include John Fahey, Jack White of the White Stripes, Jimmy Page, and Joni Mitchell.
