onewilyfool Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Any links, vids, you tubes showing the technique??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 It is better in electric styles (with back up band). For me, it is harder to play alone, but here is Warren Haynes....sit through the first half hour, then he plays the similar stuff in Standard Tuning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOY-_47AKts BluesKing777.

CAMELEYE Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I use the E configuration, but tune down to it. So I'm actually in D: D A d f# a d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I dont personally, but here is , showing how its done. And, . Basically you are working the high E around roots at the 12th, 9th and 5th frets. Obv takes an accurate touch and damping to keep unwanted notes from clashing.

L5Larry Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Any players play slide in standard "E" tuning? I understand this question to be about playing slide in "standard" tuning (EADGBE), not any "open" tuning. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right Larry….didn't Greg Almond play in standard E tuning on some guitars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Right Larry….didn't Greg Almond play in standard E tuning on some guitars? Yes. Much, if not most, of what Duane Allman did on slide was done in standard tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Agree with BluesKing you will find it more often with the electric rock/blues guys who are not dealing with having to keep a bass, melody and sometimes harmony line going at the same time.

BluesKing777 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 BK that was a good vid…thanks! It does cover a real lot of territory! A couple of other points for standard tuning slide: I trained my pinky to be the slider with a lot of effort, so I can easily grab 3 note chords also....you can of course still do this if you slide with the ring finger, but it looks a lot more contorted! Guitar action needs to be a tad high and strings thick, or tinny, fret banging sounds will occur. I like emulating Albert King '2nd position blues box riffs' with the slide instead of fingers - more a lead guitar technique, but can be used in standard tuning slide to great effect. In E blues - frets 3 and 5 on the high strings... That archtop with the bow in the neck (see my avatar pic to the left) is the perfect standard tuning slider! BluesKing777.

Rambler Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 The November 92 issue of Guitar Player had some tab on slide in standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
