Slide Guitar Improvisation (Open-G)

Yesterday I retuned my 6-string Seagull to open-G tuning (D, G, D, g, b, d). I just dawned on me that I have never tried to retune my guitars to that tuning, ever!!! Here is a little lick I came up with today. It may be a little sloppy yet, but, Ill get better…..Lol! I will probably try to invest in a resonator guitar in the near future.

Sounded pretty damn good to me! I just bought a slide and tuned my Gretsch 5120 to Open G. Played around a little yesterday…it’s a lot of fun!

Never. I have had my seagulls for 5 yrs now. And no problem with that. I haven’t heard people complain about the Seagulls at all. Maybe you got a bad apple from the factory?

tips: dont play with a pick, and play with your fingers pressed lightly on the strings behind the slide

I like that tuning, nice and warm with just enough 3rd. I’d be interested in any others you’ve tried (and maybe you already have videos) besides open D and G
