Republic Tricone Resonator open D tuning slide guitar Amazing Grace

visit my music blog at tattooedheartsbrokenpromises.blogspot.com for video, audio and free downloads of my bands the past 25 years including The BRUISERS, NPD, Cadillac Hitmen, Death & Taxes and more. Recently picked up playing slide, thought Id put a video up. Hope you enjoy it. (update Dec 2010) It is very humbling to hear so many comments from people who enjoy this video.

You really should check these guys out, youll love it. BTW, since this was recorded I have switched to fingerstyle.

You’ve got that magic sense of pacing that makes simple phrases come alive. Parts of this piece reminded me of how T-Bone Burnett or Marc Ribot can make you hold your breath waiting for the next note.

You were in The Bruisers? For awhile, down here in NJ, Al Barr seemed like a stripped-down 2.0 version of Al Barile. We did not anticipate all the kilt-wearing, caber tossing, and bagpipe toodling.

It’s not routed, it’s a surface mounted slim pickup with adhesive backing.
