@gakathon lol well since I posted that comment Ive spent a year working very hard to fingerpick better, at the expense of most other practice or writing or anything. So NOW I sound like Im killing someone with slightly more tact. And more bass.
man i could listen to this shit all day. i need to get better at slide. fuck sakes!!!, id love to add some of this blues slide into some metal, some niice southern metal haha
Man i'm really impressed with the way you work around the standard tuning with the slide, when i play slide its almost always in open g, to play slide in standard is a whole nother world... great stuff man
yea open g and drop d r probably the two most commen ways to tune for playing slide guitar and to be able to play in standard and play well with it is incredable ... great job man
Slides actually not as bad as I thought on standard, Ive been playing in open E for months now, and picked up a friends standard last night, and figured out some badass licks on it. Anyway theres just a lot more lateral movement. Say if i was playing in D, on the B and E strings thats on the 10th fret, well 4th string D is on the 12th, and G is tuned down have a step from G# where I normally play it., so right there you can find some cool licks just gotta slide fast enough.
I think it sounds spot on, great tone from fingers, a resonator doesn't have to have the harsh country twang from playing with hard picks, and no matter the brand, i'd always rather hear an ok instrument played so lovingly than a beautiful 20's national triolan played by a tab reading born again musician! so there!;-)
Cheers! I'm at present studying Plantalk and standard drop D slide dvd plus the crossroads esq lesson, as you might gather i'm a fan of yours, I will be getting to the forums as soon as I have something constructive to contribute. All the best from the central coast nsw
I do play with picks on occasion, but living in a flat with neighbours on top of me I mostly play bare fisted, I've never heard of gel wraps here in Australia.
Nice Playing. Real smooth
