In Deep with Andy Aledort - How to Play Slide Guitar in Open G

Open tunings have been exploited for use with slide guitar since the earliest days of Delta blues.

The most commonly used open tunings for slide are E, D, G and A. There are, of course, others that are utilized, with many distinctive variations, depending on the musician and style of music.

Joni Mitchell has employed a wide variety of unusual tunings in her songs, as have Stephen Stills and Ry Cooder and many other contemporary musicians operating primarily in styles of music outside of blues, such as pop, rock and folk.

This edition of In Deep will focus on open G tuning and how it is used in blues slide-guitar playing.

[kevwright]

Kick ass.. what strings do you recommend for that sweet thang?

[MGWAIKIDOJITSU]

What would be great is a tab by the side or if you were to call out the fret and the strings
As you were playing them, but great lesson dude, even though it’s 9 years old …

Can anyone tell me if this guitar has a lower-action or higher-action set up? When he plays, is he pushing down on the strings as if fretting, or is the slide just floating along the top?

I've been getting better at slide, but I still end up with a large amount of side noise from clunking and scraping the frets and side of the neck. He makes it sound so clean. Wondering if my approach is off...

[TheRealDarthCosby]

When i try these riffs, my b string is always left ringing... what are you doing to mute the strings after youve moved to the next string? thx in advance!

[imannonymous]

Had a chance to buy one of these deans not as nice but it was nickel too. Wished it sounded like that when i played it tho lol

[DaleyWard]

Nice resonator. Is that a Dean Markely?

[kilkiller]

[jacko]

I like Andy A, but this lesson goes way too fast for me.

[stephenmosack]

I hate to sound stupid, but id lobe if you could take a little more time on these licks, brother... even trying to rewind left me dizzy.
Regardless, great material... I'll have to go back and write these down

It's too bad that you don't play the riffs even faster
