I wish we had an extra life time, and that you could spend some hours of your life teaching me playing this (not exaclty like yours, but so I can make my own expressions of a style like this)
@MrSeangt40 Ry Cooder, Elmore James, Keb Mo, Robert Johnson, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, and Black Ace are great places to start. they all have their own takes on Delta slide blues. hope this helps
that's amazing man...once again i find myself without words to how awesome that was...i could simply listen to that all day long....maybe one day ill be that good and ill give mad props to you for the inspiration...keep up the amazing work!
man i can play guitar and mandolin pretty good but i tryed playin slide a while ago nd just stopped cause i guess it wasnt for me,.but im really into it,.,i love it but i just cant get the hang of it at all even though i can play anything on guitar
I NEED TO KNOW: is the guitar tuned any differently, or can i use my slide and just rip that out without having to change anything? any advice welcomed =)
Yes the guitar is tuned differently. As a guess I would say open D (I'm probably wrong) but that is the easiest to play in. It's DADF#AD, so use a tuner if you can't get it by ear. It's quite easy though if you tune it with your other strings.
DADF#AD. If you wanna tune and learn his licks he's about 1/5 step flat. Very nice playin' dude. Keep it up.
Lil' extra info. That tuning is called 'open D' meaning that if you play all the strings open it makes a D major chord. I tune 'open E' for convenience (tho it can be hard on your neck because of extra tension)
all you gotta do is go down to the crossroads... wait for a man in a white blazer come rollin up on ya. sign that contract of his, and boy you gunna be alright.
I've been learning some slide and I called my brother up and mentioned selling my soul to the devil, he asked why, so I played him some blues. He yelled at me for not telling him that I had met Mashed Potatoes...
2 schools of thought regarding R.J. He could'nt play worth a damn and 6 months later he could. Did he sell his soul to the devil? or did he ... practice?
how did you learn to play like that... because i dont really know where to learn something that sound like that... i mean alot of mainstream songs have tabs (can you read music), but i dont really no the names of any songs that could get me on track... like i play metal, but i didnt need any help to get the sound right. i would rather do blues like this than metal.
sounds good man. Gotta love those open tunings. I like the tone of the acoustic with the overdrive, but that slide looks really bulky. I use glass too, but a shorty. have fun
really all of this is pathetic (below) music is music man, sure africans invented blue, europeans invented ways to chard and write music, native americans hav outstanding vocals, why does it matter who made what, why does there have to be racial barriers between everything? or anything for that matter. (good pickin bro.)
the blues are, for lack of a better expression, caused by americans enslaving africans and taking their music as "American" if you guys would like something to argue over.
you are both effectively proving that neither of you have any common sence, let alone decency. shut up, and enjoy the god damn song.
Piping in from New Orleans.. Your expression is shit. Blues is a long way from the early days of call and response and field hollars. Sure it originated from there, but I've yet to sit through a show which was purely calls..Straight african? Well for his slide instrument I don't see him using a bow and stick to play, so I would say yeah, the blues is a southern tradition which roots lie in African field hollars, which spread up the Mississippi to Memphis, Chicago and so on. Learn the blues.
