Yeah, would surely like some videos about slide playing

[vladimird]

Yes you should, and maybe also cover with that some more famous songs done in open tuning

[shinjial]

I think a lot of guitar players navigate the fretboard using chords rooted on the 6th and 5th strings. How do you go about using the 5th string in these open tuning?

Also, I'd love to see some step by step stuff on slide in open tunings.

Bring on the landslide of slide guitar

[staspoletaev]

how problematic is string intonation in the open tunings compared to standard/drop ones? any issues with the specific strings/frets/gauges? does one bridge works better than another with open tunings?
