  1. Haha he looks so dopey his playing is amazing tho.

  2. asking for these tabs is like saying, he god do you still have the blueprints to build a human?

  3. yeh it does,was just about to buy a copy and it says tab on screen plus booklet.cool,great player.

  4. I’ve got a lot of material to work with, thanks to this wonderful guy: Warren rules!

  5. you need to put pencil lead on whatever the strings are touching take an old can of vaseline split a pencil in half and scrap the lead into the grease smear the lead grease on the nut and whatever your raiseing the action with it will bond the strings to it and stop the nut noise

  6. If you’re trying to do what Warren does on slide don’t raise the action higher than normal. He plays slide in standard tuning so he can go back and forth between pick and slide seamlessly (and not have to relearn a new tuning). Warrens action is pretty high, but not high enough to inhibit normal playing. It looks like Trucks action is even lower than Warrens. Heavy strings and flatter radius fretboards help, but leave super high action to dobros and lapsteels. Just my 2cents.

  7. Thanks for posting. I like to see him play a McCarty. I have one the same color.

  8. Buy a cheap guitar for slide, and raise the action. I bought an acoustic for E tunings that cause a lot of strain on the neck, and I didn’t want to use my $500.00 guitar, I got a takamine unfinished body for $100. sounds great !  I use a telecaster Squire for the electric, also cheap.

  9. Does anyone know if this DVD features tab?

  10. you could put a pack of rizla’s or a toothpick under the strings round the top fret, would raise the action abit, though experiment to see what creates the least amount of deadening…..

  11. If you have problems with buzzing, get yourself some real HEAVY strings m8 also better for drop tuning etc.

  12. dam i only have one guitar and i dont want to raise the strings on it cuz i dont always play slide, but because the strings are set right, playing slide is very difficult, because its almost impossible to play it without hit buzzing on a fret. I know about holding my middle finger behind the slide so it deadens the strings, so its not that, itsjust the strings are to low. What should I do. I cant afford another guitar.

  13. i like his medicine bottle slide. i’m really jealous

  14. This must be like ’92-’93. He’s thinner, plus he’s playing a PRS. I prefer him using a Les Paul. Still, that PRS has great tone. I’m actually getting some killer Les Paul tone from a Dean Evo SS with Duncan SH-55 Seth Lover p/u’s in it. It has more sustain than the modern Gibsons, plus Dean used Honduras mahogany for the body/neck (w/ a deep-dish-carved maple top) just the way Gibson did up until the mid ’70’s when they switched to African mahogany. The body/top thicknesses are the same as a LP.
