I've been trying my hand at playing slide. Does anyone have any tips for an alternate tuning. The standard EADGBE doesn't cut it. Tuning the E's down to D's helps but I can't help thinknig that when I hear some of the contemparary slide players, the tuning sounds different.
Open E tunning is real easy for me to play slide with and I'm not a very good slider. James or Roger could probably help you more.
<b></b><font size="2"></font><font color="crimson"></font> You're in my territory now...open tunings will open up a whole new world for you for slide and fingerstyle...try and Open G tuning...from EADGBE tune to DGDGBD. Capo on the 2nd fret and you have an open A that's really cool for fingerstyle playing. Or you can tune up to an Open A by going from EADGBE to EAFAC#E. Open G is easier on the guitar neck and also easy on your fingers...caution when tuning upward...can cause extra stress on your guitar neck and strings...I hope that helps...jg
