Done.

I'm not as comfortable using the slide as I am finger picking so nothing super-hot will jump off your speakers. Not yet, anyway.

Finally got to try out a brass ring slide. Brass seems to produce a clearer sound than steel.

This sounds great.
I have never used a brass one, but I have toyed with the slide a little.

I'll keep this in mind next time I "revisit" it.

Thank you, Fuzzy, Dunny.

I didn't use an open tuning for this, just used the slide on the treble strings.
I fiddled about on the eBand until I found a preset that sounded nice for slide work.

Tinkering with the GR-20 was fun also. I tried a preset that gave me a cathedral pipe organ sound. Imagine the New York Philharmonic Orchestra playing blues and funk. Then the poison mushrooms finally wore off and I was back to playing just guitar.
