Oh no, Big Ben.

Back to Earth here. Keeping a guitar strung up with all 4ths tuning, but I don't think there's a path forward for me.
I haven't had the itch to experiment with tunings in quite a long time, which ha ... |

I may be wrong, but it seems most of the slide players striving for a "swampy" tone look like they'd smell of beer and cigarettes, and just got out of jail.

Absolutely. A lot of music from the 80s I despised at the time, especially New Wave. Now I’m almost obsessed with some of it. | |

Recorded this arrangement of Maria the other day. This is in more of a singing style of playing, which is what I am currently focusing on. WSS is my all-time favorite.

For melodic stuff have to say the C diatonic is worth a try. When something isn't quite sitting on the C6, G or D it always seems to work really nicely on the diatonic.
Thanks for that. My goal pr ... |
