    I love slide but like alot of guitarist I don't use it much so I'm just wondering.
    Since he's in a open tuning?
    Isn't he only able to play in a couple different keys?
    Pretty sure I know the answer so just curious.

    • @mykhedelic6471
      @mykhedelic6471 Месяц назад +1

      Matching pitches, sine waves are pure pitches, mathematically accurate, no overtones, etc. They sound like an old phone, or the nakedest synthesizer. Sort of like how Tyler called them a pitch metronome-- nothing fancy, ultra consistent, perfectly A440 for eternity (or whatever pitch theyre set to.) You learn to go to the pitch and use your ears and adjust to match. Like he said, a sitar player will drill so that their body goes to the pitch on the board, every time, and work to bend around it for the desired expression. Probably not alot of "fun" but a great way to be disciplined and really dial yourself in sonically and physically.
