Denver Blues by Tampa Red

A great blues classic by slide great Tampa Red "The guitar wizard" which he recorded on March 23,1934, in Chicago, IL for vocalion records. This is played in open D tuning. On the recording I hear this in open E So did Tampa Red record this in open D with a capo on the second fret or did he play it in open E without a capo?

What kind of Mic did you use to record this?

[bluescandy40]

@aforcevids An Audio Technica pro 24 stereo mic.

I have a glass slide. I notice your brass(?) slide. Do you have any thoughts on the differences? Do you only use a metal slide? Is it preference? Did I buy the wrong slide? Have you tried the metal slide that you flip it and you have full finger movability? Lot of questions sorry.

@barimayberry The slide in the video is solid brass and kind of heavy. I do own a glass as well as a chrome slide but brass is my preference

Hey Man, what tuning do you have it in?

@barimayberry I know you didn't ask me but as an avid slide player I find glass on electric gives me a smooth tone that I personally like. But on acoustic or resonator in this case I prefer metal slides, gives that delta bite and growl
