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. |

robert johnson
I found this link you might find interesting. This guy has a theory that robert johnsons songs were recorded too fast so he has slowed them down. He has two clips on his page. It sounds right to me. A guy I know says he heared a rumour that the record producer sped up the recording to try and make it more jazzy which was becoming popular at that time. What do you think.

Wow, that is really interesting. And hearing those mp3's I have to say it sounds more "natural" for lack of a better term.
Cool link.

This has been discussed a LOT on other message boards. I think the samples on that site are slowed down a bit too much, but the guitar tone on the original recordings always sounded funny to me - like a big ukulele or something.
It is an established fact that speed wasn't constant or standardized on some of the "field recording" equipment used in the 20's and 30's - just listen to those early Mississippi John Hurt tracks where the song starts in one key and ends a semitone higher. Same with a few Blind Boy Fuller recordings.

When I first heard about this it freaked me out.
He sounds even better slowed down IMO, and more realistic.
The songs sit in the groove more when slowed.
I'm even thinking of getting the slowed down version of his CD compilation.
Isn't it great what you learn on guitar forums?
LB.
I'd rather a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

It seems like it was supposed to be played at that speed (slowed down), it sounds much clearer and better.

You know all these years I could never really enjoy listening to Robert Johnson. Now I know why. It sounds so much better slowed down. More human.
thanks
A real eye opener.
