Instructor Mel Reeves goes over this blues and opening tuning in his "Complete Acoustic Guitar - Lesson 2: Classical Acoustic, Django Style Jazz, and Slide Style" downloaded DVD. This is about a 42 minute video, and what you are after is toward the end.

This video is available for download at:

http://www.totalvid.com

I think they have a two week "free" subscription to this for free, and you can watch scores of their musical instruction video's as part of the subscription.

Their normal subscription is about 10 bucks a month, which I pay as I also use the video's for the keyboard in addition to the guitar.

As a side note, I have found Mel Reeves stuff very helpful to watch with what I am learning here at the guitarnoise site. Sometimes you just can't beat a professional instructor, with top knotch graphics to help some of this be a little clearer.]]> Slide and Alternate tunings specialsof https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/blues-slide-guitar/#post-288554 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/blues-slide-guitar/#post-288508 Sat, 12 Apr 2008 17:37:58 +0000

I don't do Tab on line, but I could chart out some things by hand and mail them to you.
PM me. Hey Dogbite, I'd be interested too. I leave on in open-G and just put another one into open E. Gonna try my hand at those two.]]> Slide and Alternate tunings rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/blues-slide-guitar/#post-288484 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/blues-slide-guitar/#post-288285 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 20:26:50 +0000

Used to be some good introductory lessons over on Big Road Blues, and the founder of the board Brian "Doc Mojo" Robertson has a CD set on CDBaby, I think. Really, though, most folks learn by listening and imitating. The action's all around the open strings, third, fifth, seventh and twelfth frets. With fretted shuffles and such and alternating string thumb rhythm thrown in.

I don't really know what I'm doing though admittedly it sounds ok so I'm not going to lose hope on this, though I doubt I'll ever do it quite like Robert Johnson.

Does anyone have any tips on how to play blues in this tuning? It feels like starting again and relearning the instrument, I'm not sure exactly which notes to hit or how to form chords in this tuning..... so anyone know where to start besides trying to learn this Robert Johnson tune?


Thanks

Adam

P.s I'm using an acoustic guitar and a Metal slide if thats any help]]> Slide and Alternate tunings fleaaaaaa https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/blues-slide-guitar/#post-31235
