Great stuff Keni! Can you please tell me your tunings? Is the first one open G? I have only used standard tuning my whole life so I have not yet ventured into other tunings. (I just picked up slide recently.) You sound awesome. Keep up the great work.
@NYCRocker Thank you for your interest and question. The songs I teach on CD 3 are a continuation of the lessons on CD 1 (Open D) and CD 2 (Open G). Please consider the series, if you would like to start exploring this style. Let me know if I can be of further assistance. Enjoy.
I never knew the sound of this unique slide was called "slide blues guitar". Thank you Keni, you've opened a whole new door to music for me. Kudos to all your great work! I hope to be picking up this awesome style as soon as I make my own bottleneck slide from a wine bottle!
@OhMyTofu Thank you for your interest and comment. This style is believed to have originated in the 1920 / 30s in the southern part of the U.S. In the state of Mississippi around the "Delta" area. Maybe it was also influenced by Hawaiian Lap and Slack Key guitar. You can find videos on "how to make a bottleneck slide" here on youtube. Feel free to write if you have any questions. Enjoy your practice.
@LouGypsyBlue Thank you for your comment. Sorry about the delayed reponse. I just returned from a 15 day trip to China. Happy Hoildays. Enjoy, Keni Lee
Both of you sound just great. The tricone appears to have a deeper tone and the combination of the two together produce a really solid blues sound.
I have a "Vintage" tricone which is similar in tone, but doesn't look as cool - that colour on the metal really adds to the overall look of the instrument.
Keep up the good work in 2010, Keni, and a very Happy and peaceful New Year to you, your family and all your friends.
Thank you. Yes, Bill's tricone with it's 3 smaller cones produces a more balanced tone bass to treble. My 14 fret Duolian single cone produces a banjo treble tone mainly due to the shortened body. This 1935 Duolian was rebuilt with a new neck (the old neck is on the large CBG) and the original cystaline paint finish was restored by Elderly Instruments. In general, open tuning adds a lot to the overall tone due to those additional open strings vibrating too. Best of Health and Wealth in 2010!

Really like that piece with your pal.
