What is your favorite tuning when plaing guitar with a slide?


What is your favorite tuning when plaing guitar with a slide?

open "E" & "D"
Although Jimmy Page (Led Zepplin) uses open "c" alot but it's a tougher fingering pattern between slide use

Try them and enjoy, good luck!!

Jazzy!!

Standard (EADGBe)

Open G: D,G,D,G,B,D It's like double drop D but you lower the A string to a G.

open A sounds great,

seven nation --> death letter --> red rain

DGDGBD Eric Clapton uses it alot

I use the standard tuning but if I was just into slide only, probably open D (DGDGBD).

I have two. One is the Standard open D and the other is simply Dropped D. Try it out.

Open G: G B D G B G .....slinky, slidy slippery Delta

Standard tuning.

Low Tuned D and Standard Tuning. Actually, they are all great, but those two are my favorites.

Standard (EADGBE)

Open E, and I'll also use a capo to play anywhere up to A (5th fret) like a barre chord.

I recently read somewhere that Albert Collins did the same thing.

Art,
I use standard and opening E tuning. When playing bluegrass, I use a G tuning. I have a square neck dobro too..
