Standard Tuning Slide Guitar

[didgeboy287]

Is my guitar out of tune or was this a slide blues in F? I would have been impressed hearing it in E. I know you just move everything up a fret but in F you have no open strings to play with, really.

[SkirtSoPlain]

Really really good playing. After 18 months of playing I'm only now going to try to learn a little slide. Can you tell me, is there a danger of damaging the neck if you don't have high action? I generally like low action and I sold my cheapo guitars and only have a few good guitars that I don't want to damage.

[Django5198]

absolutely amazing!!!! Straight from the delta!!!

[pretty9reenpark4]

Cool mate.

[Punkerstyle9]

i have a question does the steel slide rough after a wile? and if yes in years and if yes aaaaaa how do i make it like new i mean to clean it:D

[enriquesalazar009]

@Punkerstyle9 buy a new one? they arent worth THAT much... I mean, if you pay 10 dlls a year, is that a problem?

[AXELGRIZ]

[WaltzOfThePuppy]

Whats the name of this song?

[zolf1988]

great!

[kanstey99]

That's really excellent

Really enjoyed it.

From the comments, it's in standard tuning, but I can't quite tell from the video, are you playing with pick and fingers together or just the pick by iteself?

[fenderbuzzer]

is this in standard tuning Eadgbe? or like open E?

[RT101894]

@fenderbuzzer it says Standard tunning in the title dumbass

[Finbix]

That was really enjoyable man, thanks!!

[teunv111]

so is standard tuning just : EBDgbe,

or is it something els with slide guitar?

[al0102030405]

Yes, it's just regular tuning.

[Noseheros]

@teunv111 standard tuning is always EADgbe, some peopel play slide in open tunings but standard will always be EADgbe

[Marty2475]

@teunv111 umm standard tunig is EADGBE

[Noseheros]

@teunv111 When anyone says standard they mean EADGBE, low to high

[4Zoot]

@teunv111 Well, actually, standard tuning is EADGbe...

[nimthirielhime]

one question, where did get the metal thing you have on your finger?

Btw nice playing :)

[al0102030405]

It's a metal slide, you can buy them at any music store.

[ServeAnAwesomeGod]

@al0102030405 to be honest i bought a nice glass slide and i found a socket that sounds awesome even better so go look for a big socket first

[Hoopermazing]

@nimthirielhime ... or you can just get a piece of pipe, a lipstick tube, a neck off of a beer bottle etc... That's what the original guys who invented this style of playing did.

[kbouley]

Yes!! Now I have a project for the the few months. thanks bro, great stuff

[neverclimbed32]

my auntie gave me her slide a couple of weeks ago but i can't actually use it properly! wish i could play like that...

[thequesnelkid]

Totally awesome. I've been trying to teach myself slide in standard tuning (that's what I usually plai in) .

Everyone i know who plays slide always says "oh you gotta play in open"

Very encouraging. Great job. Where did you learn to play like that?

[mom42966]

Don't down yourself ever again, my friend. This is awesome!!

[Boredguy82]

im lovin it!

[harleyworks1]

Awesome Man !!! - well cool, if you posted lessons I'd sure be one to follow and subscribe for sure - Cheerz

[funnycarrot]

Finally a YouTube guitar player who is modest. Dude, you killed it!

[XxXJUSTCAUSEXxX]

it was good, but i bet it would be better with a glass slide. unless you like that equally nice tin sound.

[Pevaac]

good man you are awesome

[eneddd]

thanks man realy helped

[scottish1337]

very very well done :D

[stuartibanez]

sounds awesome man

[colemankj]

sickkk

[AdrienGuitarPlayer]

cool playing. what guitar is that? looks pretty old.

[MasterFoMagic]

look at the mini ghost at the bottem of the of the vid

[stewmacman]

awesome sound.....playin is killer....i love it!!!!!

[tman916x]

Not good enough to teach??? What a bunch of crap, this is awesome!

[Howardraz]

I play this but never heard it with a slide. Had to buy a slide.Thanks for posting.

[farts53]

Hi.. I have been playing this in standard tuning with 3rd fret capoed, however the tuning does not sound the same... It sounds like you have your guitar tuned in C ... Please confirm for me. I have played slide all my life . My grandmother taught me in open E style. Thanks again ..and great job.

[martinman87]

Awesome. I was told not to play with a pick and not to play in standard tuning. Thanks for posting this, I'm going to put my guitar back into standard and find my pick!

[al0102030405]

Never let anyone tell you how to play, just do what works for you. They can suggest, but there are no musts that I know of.

Thanks for commenting.

[MrBebopChamploo]

@al0102030405 No musts accept for accept for playing what you feel

[Hoopermazing]

@martinman87 You can play either way. The advantage of an open tuning (after you learn it) is that you can play chords with the slide. For instance, I have a guitar tuned to Open D Major. So, I can play Major triads up and down the neck just by putting the slide over the appropriate fret. Moreover, if I put a finger one fret behind (toward the nut) the slide on the 3rd string... magically, it's a minor triad. Of course, you action has to be high for that to work.

[enriquesalazar009]

@martinman87 who told you not to play in standard tuning? I agree with not using a pick, everyone should learn fingerpicking at first, but I would think standard tuning is the best way to learn guitar...

[jan007magic]

tabs please..

[al0102030405]

No tabs. Watch and listen, I show how to do it.

[kleydj13]

I really liked this one. I have always wanted to try some sweet slide stuff but you are so right in saying that changing the tunings is a huge hassle. Well done.

[al0102030405]

Hey thanks, glad you liked it.

[IssaTai]

One of the best slide guitar vids! Keep it up

[zelunw]

how do you make up the rhythem to that?

[al0102030405]

That's just a basic shuffle in E.

[al0102030405]

Thanks, yeah, it's just an old acoustic, there's no pickup in it.

[mharinger]

awesome playing I got a question: are you playing an acoustic in this vid or electric acoustic?

[deadgirl17]

Really good lesson - not too complicated but lovely little fills; took me down to the crossroads anyhow!

[al0102030405]

Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it.

[Bluzer86]

this is great, very very nice playing

[pym09]

i'd love to be able to play like that

[al0102030405]

Practice, and you`ll be better than me in no time, not that I`m all that great anyway, I just have fun.

[skylooloo22]

cool

[waterw0lf]

Tasty...

[Franciskinho]

nice man really nice... you know it would be even nicer if i had some tabs for that...

[ridza75]

Have been havin a crack at slide, do you recommend starting in an open tuning or standard??

[Seviouscesar]

Wat is that song name?Sorry,not good in English.

[seiflife52]

hey man got any tabs for that?

[al0102030405]

Sorry, no tabs, just made it up as an example for someone.

[AznVi3tx]

The beginning sounds like SpongeBob

[al0102030405]

I love Spongebob.

[sillychops]

dude nice work

had me tappin my toes

[al0102030405]

Hey, I'm glad you liked it.

[Heathenette]

I'm trying to learn to play slide and hearing it done so well in standard tuning is kinda inspiring.

I also tried jamming with a random slide melody, it was fun! :D

[al0102030405]

Thanks,it takes time, keep at it. Even if you think you're notmaking any progress I can assure you that you are, it shows up a litle at a time. Standard tuning slide is difficult, no matter how easy it looks.

[darthavatare]

very nice man.

[al0102030405]

hey thanks, glad you like it.

[Rush4Life70494]

whos this by?

I though u meant the song Slide by the Goos. lol cuz i play it in standard w/ capo or 1.xD

[al0102030405]

This song is just an improvisation I put together to demonstrate playing slide guitar in standard tuning for a friend of mine.

[mmannyh]

its nice man. fuck i dont care what anyone says good fucking job dude.

[al0102030405]

Glad you like it, thanks.

[skaterznabil]

CooL BluE MUUUUsic Man!!!

[BillNeilan]

I like this. Slide can be tricky. You make it look easy. Sounds great.

[al0102030405]

Thanks, that's a nice compliment,it looks a lot easier than it is of course.

[al0102030405]

Thanks.

[swimmmerrr]

very clean sweet sound
