The classic Allman Brothers song Statesboro Blues in standard tuning. Just messing around with a new video camera.

Enjoy!

  • wow im trying to play along and watch ur slide hand, and then i read that ur in standard and im in open e, hahaha fail on my part!, great playing and feel tho man!!!

  • @ArtVandaleit Thanks - lol. Had I known better back when I posted this I'd have probably been a little clearer in the title. Thanks again for the kind words

  • Great Stuff. I am new to slide, picked up a D open tuned guitar on stage the other night gonna, try this and got upside down. So it should have been in open E and if I want it to sound better I see I just have to learn it in Standard. Any changes to your action for this and string guage?

    Thanks for the killer tone Nocaster.

  • Thanks for the kind words.

    To be honest, this is probably a ton easier in open E, but you can get a passable version in standard. No special setup or string gauges for me. Just muting, muting and more muting - lol

  • Wait, you're sole purpose for posting a comment on my video was to play internet fact police, just to give your own self-esteem a little goose because *gasp* someone was wrong on the internet...yet I'm the arrogant prick?

    How the fuck does that work?

  • Yes I'm aware who wrote it, but "classic Allman Brothers version of the Blind Willie McTell" would be unnecessary to anyone with a couple of working ears and any degree of familiarity with both versions.

    But thank you for taking the time to set the record straight for the uninitiated who happen upon my obscure little corner of youtube.

  • You could play easily with the Allman Brothers Band. Great playing and sound. I´d like that you posted more tunes.

  • @ArtVandaleit Duane Allman plays this tune in open E tuning. Warren Haynes in standard. But in open E you can play THE ENTIRE SONG between the 8 an 10 frets!!! including the fills, except when goes up in the solo to the 20 and 22 frets, and that´s all. (of course, is not easy play it)

  • Great job!

    And I'm at this moment experimenting with my slide on the ring finger

    Do you do anything special to your guitar like set the action higher or use super thick strings?

  • Great! from Japan

  • Good job bro, tried it ma self, I tell ya, it ain't easy ;)

  • Are you using D mixolydian?

  • You certainly have the technical skills - relax, relax and let 'er rip. Great tone from your LP. Critics are critics - ignore them and just play that thing.

  • You know what you're doing - let her rip.
