Gordon Kennedy — whose resume as a songwriter includes hits for Eric Clapton (the Grammy winning "Change the World"), Garth Brooks, Bonnie Raitt and Allison Krauss, and whose studio credits boast sessions for Faith Hill, Little Big Town, Peter Frampton and many others — explained how the Min-ETune™ on his Gibson Les Paul Standard allowed him to chase down an idea for a part in Keith Richard's favorite open G tuning in seconds, while the creative impulse was hot. The result: a spanking rhythm track for "Friend of the Groom," by this own band Peace Dogs.
