Sunday Blues in D (with a few bar slant stunt !)

I recorded a new blues in D on my weissenborn after "discovering" how to play seventh chords on this instrument. I believe my technique has improved since my last videos, my bluesy feeling too. Intonation is a risky business with bar slants (at least in my hands) ! You be the judge, messages and comments are always appreciated.

You're probably not the best i've ever heard but I love your style with bare fingers. You are going to be DAMN good with practice - KEEP UP THE GOOD VIBES MAN!!!

Thanks, this is really positive and a source of motivation !

Groovy stuff man. I've been trying to teach my self a bit of slide too, and after playing with bar slants a bit, I noticed that if you're in open G, you don't have to use them, you just use the 3rd and 2nd strings for major thirds (G and B = Maj3rd) and the 2nd and 1st for minor thirds (B and D = min3rd). So therefore you could get the 5th and min7th of a G7, D and F (min3rd interval) by barring the 3rd or 15th fret on the 1st and 2nd strings. You have to make some jumps for scales-it's worth it

Thanks mate. I see open G as 515135 and open D as 151351. Everything you said also applies to the open D shape, except one string lower. My favorite thing to slant is a major7th chord such as 0-0-0-8-9-10 in open D. Another interesting tuning I am working on is open D7 DADFAC or E7- EBEGBD (see my other videos). This tuning gives you an easy access to both major and minor chords. We could exchange more on that on youtube messages, if you like. Cheers !

Could you play the old Doobie Brothers song  Blackwater? - I think it would sound just awesome on that guitar!!

[Juicefani11]

It must be great to play these. I would want one on those too.

The honor is all mine Sir. If you're ever in Michigan and want to jam with a crappy bass player - pay me a visit.
