How to Play Slide Guitar in Standard/Dropped-D DVD by Kirk Lorange
If you really want to spice up your playing, slip a slide over your pinkie and add it to your musical vocabulary. There's no need to re-tune your guitar to an open tuning, just stay in standard or lower that bass string down to D. Kirk shows you how in this 70 minute DVD, talking and playing you through the basics, vibrato, muting, playing single note lines, finding all the chord flavors (they're all there!) and mixing it all into one very neat hybrid style of playing guitar. To order or to find out more, click here. |

Slide question "Delta Blues, blues period,
Hey gang is it ok when you finger style to use your middle finger to play a kick drum sort of thing?
I mean this,
Ok so your playing in Open G tuning and DGDGBD and using the main strings G D G for your main measures when playing the blues and your G string acts as a bass drum.
That ok?

I understand....you can do that just fine.
I use the 4th string 'D' and 5th string "G".
Listen to this clip I made....Im hitting the 4th string then 5th string. I am then sliding the first two strings from the 2nd fret to the 3rd fret. (Im pinching those strings with my thumb and second finger then sliding.)
Using open strings as a drone or bass behind your slide parts adds fullness to the sound.

For that clip I used my Epiphone Les Paul.
I ran it straight into the computer through a Line 6 toneport. I used Audacity a free recording program to capture it. The line 6 toneport has many amp models and effects. You can choose from a whole list. On that clip I was using the Vox amp model.

I agree that whatever feels or sounds right is the way to go...
In my opinion..(I don't know if THIS is what you're talking about...so
bear with me..) there are a lot of blues players over the years, that
having to perform solo with usually a battered instrument..that the whole delta blues content is laden with bass lines..
I do it all the time... in fact because I am kind of gospel-ee, country-esque-ee , etc.. some of my playing has an appalachian
(sp) kind of backbeat to it, which I found in the blues bassline/backbeat.
It presents difficulties in playing in a combo sometimes for me...
I forget I have a bassist and other guitarists and such involved..and carry TOO much of the tune...
this is a sample of what I am talking about in open E

Hey csason,
Nice job, Im digging your slide playing.
I agree for solo playing that is the best technique. It really fills out the sound.(I also love how you sing your slide leads)
I done it at a jam and the bass player said stop steppin on me!.......I said "sorry"
