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.

robert johnson in dropped D
I haven't played his stuff in 20 years but, suddenly got the urge. I am wondering if I can make his tunes work in dropped D without losing the magic? What do you think?

tried a couple of Robert Johnson tunes today in dropped D. Works very well for open D tunes since the bass on both is D,A,D. .Fun to do but, lacks the total freedom,for me, of playing in dropped D. If I worked at it I think I could come up with a respectable version of it.

Allthumbs, try to lower both 6th and 1st string to D.
This tuning is much easier to play classic 'Delta' songs.

Any tune can be played in any tuning and still keep the magic ... I reckon, anyway.
