    I love that swampy sound. More, please! and Thanks for your help on the never-ending musical journey. Your adventuresome spirit has led me down a road less travelled. After more than 60 years wandering in the wasteland of guitar incompetence, I still shuffle in the desert. Now, I only have time left for what really grabs at the soul. Yours does. Your well is deep, brother, You strengthen me, as I am sworn never to give up. Press on.

    Well done. You got the mood working with the slides. I think of the Dm tuning as a stormy/winter-like sound.
    Great for a dramatic effect.

    I took an acoustic old late 50’s / early 60’s Old Kraftsman archtop and rat rodded it with dual humbuckers, Bigsby, brass nut and a kill switch.
    It has no truss rod and high action so perfect for slide in a lower tension open D tuning, easier on the neck.
    Been practicing slide, lots of Jack White style.
    Reverb, fuzz, slapback and octave effects sometimes.
    Using it acoustically as well a lot.
    Your open D minor lesson is just the type of music I started learning guitar for.
    Dark, melodic song this one, perfect…
    I’m 2-1/2 years along learning, starting a bit late at age 59 and finally feel like I’m getting to a point of playing guitar vs copying guitar.
    For higher tension tuning like open E I’ve been using an early 80’s Vantage metal era guitar.
    Thanks for a great lesson today.
    Time to commit to your lessons and getting the tab for this and improve on slide guitar.
    I’m just starting fingerpicking as well.
    I’m 90% a pick picker at the moment.
    Are your monthly reoccurring lessons billed on the joining day date or on a specific day each month?

    This is the reason I got a resonator - just can't get that sound on a normal acoustic, and that sound....so atmospheric, something primeval about it, maybe it's the 'gators? Thanks dude, I'm a subscriber! Praise the Lord! : )

    Brilliant as usual. I love the D minor sound. How would you use a turnaround on a piece like this? I tried a couple of the old standard ones but they don't fit in with the mood.

    • @BluesGuitarInstitute
      @BluesGuitarInstitute  3 года назад

      Hmmm, I think I'd get a little riffy with it and maybe end with a low F on the 6th string bending up nice and slow. Just a thought.
