HI all guitarist.
I am playing blues and still learning new things. I started playing when I was fourteen years old. I learned a d blues and a scale and from there on I learned the rest my self.
Because I have a disease which causes inflammation in the joints often I have a tendecy to get inflammamations in the wrist pretty often so I dont play as fast any more as I could before. I therefor picked up the slide more recently in the last year or so. I play open d and standard tuning.
back a couple of years ago I learned open d tuning but still mess around with the scales. I am not so good at them as I am in standard tuning.
just now I played a new tuning I invented for the occation. just changed the g string and the high e string from a open d tuning into something a bit sad and darker and more country sounding because I was bored with the clean nice sound open d has.
So I would like to ask for tutorials even I went straight trough all I could find on youtube the last couple of month and even got a book with some chords and scales from all the most well known open tunings.
off course I would like to become better at it . not that I dont play standard tuning anymore. because I use that the most on the electric guitar. just sit at night wathcing television and fingerpicking and improving my slide guitar on a acustic.
Can anyone point to some really good tutorials. ressurces. reference material to listen to . I know that robert jonhson played open g and jimi hendrix played standard tuning one step down. joni mitchell did never learn to play standard tuning bit uses all otehr tunings. I need more music to listen to to get to know the sounds of the different tunings better.
thanks.
