Check out the new improved version adding fretting behind the slide here: youtu.be Intro and noodling over the chorus changes for the classic George Strait tune. Played in Open E tuning (low to high EBEG# be). Backing track is Band in a Box. Guitar is a Yamaha SA2200 (neck pickup with tone rolled off a bit), amp is a Peavey Vypyr 30 (Twin model with compressiondelayreverb). And yes, that is my phone ringing at 0:17. Luckily its the stock iPhone ringtone in the key of A, so you almost dont notice it.

    Well, I do play dobro and lap steel. The idea is to get the vibe without having to bring another instrument to the gig.

    It’s the chords from the intro and verses of the tune. I’m sure you could google them 🙂

    Open E Tuning. I feel the tone could be a bit more nasal, it might be too round here on the neck pickup. I’ve been experimenting with using the bridge pickup and using a volume pedal to reduce the attack, but haven’t had time to make a video. A metal slide might help too.

    @pumukliboti: Not terribly high, but a bit higher than normal. It’s not uncomfortable to to fret or anything. I actually use this guitar for slide because I don’t use it live much so It doesn’t get set up often. Thanks for the kind words!
