I play mostly in open G....it's the first open tuning I learned, and the one I'm most comfortable with. Part of the reason is that the major triad on the 2nd 3rd and 4th strings is still there - and in the same place as it is in standard tuning. Makes navigating your way around the fretboard just that little bit easier!

Just a little food for thought.....

:D :D :D

(like not stopping directly over the fret)
Slide playing is about "feel" and "control"]]> Slide and Alternate tunings SlickCat https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/learnin-to-slide/#post-266397 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/learnin-to-slide/#post-266395 Tue, 02 Oct 2007 02:43:58 +0000
Good ear and sliding practice.....go on one string and slide up and down try to play "do re me so fa la ti do" remember what Ricochet said...try sliding into the actual note you want.]]> Slide and Alternate tunings SlickCat https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/learnin-to-slide/#post-266395 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/learnin-to-slide/#post-266136 Thu, 27 Sep 2007 06:23:35 +0000 Slide and Alternate tunings Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/learnin-to-slide/#post-266136 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/learnin-to-slide/#post-266113 Thu, 27 Sep 2007 01:20:48 +0000
I read from a Derek Trucks interview that most people use fingers to pick with slide: is this conventional wisdom for slide players?]]> Slide and Alternate tunings vink https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/learnin-to-slide/#post-266113 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/learnin-to-slide/#post-266109 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 23:28:28 +0000 :mrgreen:]]> Slide and Alternate tunings Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/learnin-to-slide/#post-266109 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/learnin-to-slide/#post-266102 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 22:08:01 +0000
BTW, I meant to say earlier that I had been using my ring finger, but said middle instead. I have now switched to trying to use the pinky, I think I'll stick to that. I will look for the curved slide, if I don't find it I will make the strings a little more flat.

Thanks for all the pointers. I will be working on the "hoochie-coochie man" style riff/lick/shuffle as my first objective. Seems reachable. Just haven't had much playing time lately ..]]> Slide and Alternate tunings vink https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/learnin-to-slide/#post-266102 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/learnin-to-slide/#post-265904 Tue, 25 Sep 2007 01:05:20 +0000 Slide and Alternate tunings Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/learnin-to-slide/#post-265904
