Hi All-
I've learned a lot about my shiny little box on this site. I mostly use my BR for learning tunes and jamming with backing tracks. But the Blues Fest thing inspired me to finally master a tune that I recorded a while ago with my Danelectro DC59 and Fender P-bass. It's based on a Freddie King thing called "The Stumble" which ZZ Top borrowed and recorded as "Apologies To Pearly".
I'm also uploading a backer without the slide lead for anyone who wants to work their magic!
Thanks for this great site!

Nice Slide guitar playing. That is one area I haven't gone into yet but I sure love the sound. You are a really good slide player, real good control over your notes. Nice one for the T-ABF |

This was really great. Only heard one other one use a slide up here. I think it has it's own unique style. great!! |

Y'all are too kind. Thanks! You people have really made a great community here--lots of good, postive creative energy. Your generous comments and all of the great playing I'm hearing from your tunes inspire me to play more.
For those who mentioned wanting to get into slide, I highly recommend getting a cheapo guitar like my Danelectro ($249 new!) and a corocidin bottle, tuning up to open-E and listening to lots of Elmo James and Duane Allman, then trying to channel their spirits.
To paraphrase an old lyric: There's magic in the music and the music's in you!
Peace |

Tune up to open E? Do happen to know what each string would be~ I could probably find it on the internet somewhere, but I gotta ask while I'm here listening to this awesome track again!! Good job man~ you've got me inspired!! |

Hey Kody- From what I've heard of your playing, you'll be a natural on slide! 48 posted a good link for showing open E tuning. The strings are tuned E-B-E-G♯-B-E, low to high. On an acoustic, you may want try open D instead for less stress on the neck. If you get into it, you may also want to check out open G/open A tuning, which has a higher, more country sound used by the bluegrass Dobro guys and early Muddy Waters stuff. You may also want to try heavy strings and a higher action for slide playing. However, I haven't changed the original setup on my Danelectro and it works just fine: a .10 gauge string set and medium action. I think one of the current kings of slide guitar and a good guy to study is Derek Trucks, who is carrying the torch from Duane. His playing has a soulfully expressive, vocal quality. Your playing has inspired me, man, so I'm glad to give some back! |
