Topic: Lapslide guitar

I am self taught and have been playing lapslide guitar (open D tuning) for several years now. Are there any other chordians who play or are interested??   Cheers

Re: Lapslide guitar

Don't play lapslide but wanted to drop in and welcome you to the forums smile

Welcome to Chordie, landav.  What got you interested in lapslide?

The amp is a basket case, but the guitar sounds good.

Re: Lapslide guitar

I played regular guitar for 40 years. The fingers on my left hand wont always do what i want them to and could never get the sounds i could hear in my head....also couldnt concentrate on vocals. Now playing lapslide it is much easier to play and sing together plus i can now get some of the sounds that i hear in my head to become a reality... I play a Guild guitar, great tone...

Re: Lapslide guitar

I just bought one. I`m still trying to figure it out. I am trying to find scales in standard tuning
