My record, so far, is 2 1/2 hours for a form to be filled out, which included a change of shift (one guy stood up and walked away, his replacement came, sat down and continued as if nothing had happened). I recently spent 1 1/2 hours whilst an idiot ticked a few boxes (it's automated on computer, now) and printed the form out.]]> Slide and Alternate tunings greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/some-open-tuning-questions/#post-176737 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/some-open-tuning-questions/#post-176715 Sat, 13 May 2006 05:53:16 +0000 Slide and Alternate tunings tinsmith https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/some-open-tuning-questions/#post-176715 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/some-open-tuning-questions/#post-176576 Fri, 12 May 2006 17:04:21 +0000 saying the word Germany isnt swearing :lol:


C6 is a great tuning. I use C6 Am7 one one lap steel. pen G on another.

Ive used several other tunings but have settled for those two on lap.]]> Slide and Alternate tunings dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/some-open-tuning-questions/#post-176576 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/some-open-tuning-questions/#post-176487 Fri, 12 May 2006 04:19:52 +0000 D is great for the Elmore James / Blind Willie Johnson stuff

If you're playing lap style check out C6 tuning!
Try this different C6 I found that's a lot of fun:

(Low to high) F G A C E G

Stienar. no wonder , when jamming friday night, that I was able to play ssome tasty stuff.
I played the second fret (A) and had some cool notes in B.
they worked with the E minor jam.

so it worked because I played single notes against an open string.
very chimey and open sounding.
the violin player really liked it .]]> Slide and Alternate tunings dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/some-open-tuning-questions/#post-175828 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/some-open-tuning-questions/#post-175822 Mon, 08 May 2006 18:15:23 +0000

open E is a good starter tuning. you have power chords up and down the neck.
and since it starts i E you know the positions of all the chords.

I play in open G. its great for blues.

if you think about open tuning a bit, you'll find you wont be limited to one key.
in open G I have otrouble plyaing in D, C, A, ...Em is tricky tho.

an open tuning source I use is from
Brads Page of Steel.
