@nirvanafreak1294 Did you really think that a grown man who makes his living playing guitar would be playing an Epiphone fake SG in his videos?
-

imo the best way to learn this is listening. if your looking for tips its all there.

Great tone. Great playing. Great vid.

how do you mute the lower strings with the rake? ;)
-
E-B-E-G♯-B-E
or
D-A-D-F♯-A-D (lower open D)
same thing essentially

1,2,3,4,5,6 = from tiny string to fat string, EBG#EBE. Also, you can play in any Key in Open E tuning but you might not be able to play the string Open, which isnt a big deal if you have an SG but for a resonator or acoustic playing in all of the keys on open E can be more restrictive.

Check out his tone video, but I am sure he plays with bass and treble around 5, but he boosts his mids to like 6.5. For reverb, you do not want like a petal reverb, use the one on the amp, but very, very lightly so its almost unnoticeable, like 1.5. For gain, its really up to you but I keep mine around 7 I like the crunchy distortion you can get from sliding like Derek trucks

Could you please tell what settings to use o my amp to get that sound i.e. Bass, Treble, Middle, Reverb & Gain? Thanks

Tight video man. Thanks!
Nice tone! Is that a epiphone sg-400? Im getting that guitar sometime soon.

61 Gibson SG Reissue. It's a fine guitar.

Mute with your right hand palm when raking to avoid all the unwanted string noise. It takes some good timing to get it to sound natural.

Not very high. Just enough to keep the string from buzzing. It's takes a lighter touch of the slide to the string when they're not real high. Go to my blog for some more tips learningguitarnowdotcom/blog
