  1. i broke my A string trying to tune to this

  2. Is the E string that was D before below the A string should sound like the higher E?

  3. Isn’t this the same as D A D F# A D except a whole step up?

  4. I’ve changed my mind. raising the tune-o-matic a bit and using thicker gauge strings (which probably impart a bit more neck relief without touching the truss rod) did the trick. Since I want to be able to fret notes with my fingers too, I’m not shimming the nut. That would put the action in square-neck Dobro territory.

  5. So the slide doesn’t rattle on the frets, of course
    I not only raised my bridge, I’m going to shim the nut before all is said and done.

  6. i hope your not a guy. running around with a broken g string

  7. I tried this and my g string broke 🙁

  8. Thanks for taking the time to post a lesson. Not sure why you’d raise the action when tuning up. That may be the case when tuning down to open G [Es to Ds and A to G]

  9. good video, but the tuning notes are such out of tune!

  10. Nice sg! i have one too! keep rockin!
