➜ Slide Guitar and Open Tunings NEW!
Guitars are tuned differently for slide guitar. Musicians use ‘open
tuning’ for playing ‘slide’ - they tune their guitar to a chord. Explore
slide guitar playing beginning with early blues styles, then moving
on to more recent blues and folk styles. Discover the idiosyncratic
styles of Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Leo Kottke, and Jesse
Ed Davis to name just a few. Come away with an enhanced
understanding of their slide guitar styles, and have fun practicing
them at home.
