I wanted to show you some slide licks in open D tuning.
Now, if you don't know about open D tuning, you can see Marty Schwartz's lesson
on [F] how to tune
Ah!
There he is!
Look!
[E] There he is!
How to tune your guitar to open D.
But basically what we have here in open D is you're playing [D] the
the D major chord open whilst surfing through the scene.
But what we have here is we're gonna make
we're gonna have your open D chord
and then your slide, you're gonna be basically sliding to the 5th [G] fret, the [A] 7th fret,
and the [D] 12th fret.
[F] Oh, and also you can slide from the 2nd to the 3rd.
[D] So those are all the things we're gonna do and I'll show you how we can use those.
So let's say we just get a basic strum.
Playing D, playing D, playing D, yeah, you know it's cool.
Okay, so we can slide from the 2nd to the 3rd [B] fret.
Now, what you want to do is you want to make sure when you slide you don't go past the fret
or you want to be kind of right behind the fret with just a nice firm amount of pressure.
Not too hard, not too soft.
[F] [D] Just like this.
Okay, [A] so let's try this little lick right here.
And what you're gonna do is slide from [Fm] the 2nd to the 3rd and then let [D] go.
Okay, so then you can sort of incorporate that.
[A]
You got this cool little blues lick.
Now if you want to change it up, just slide to the [G] 5th.
Kind of hold it there.
As you can see what I'm doing here is sort of a vibrato thing.
It's kind of back and forth.
This kind of gives it a little, a little [A] greasiness, you know what I'm saying?
So let's try that again.
[G]
Go back to the sliding [A] from the 2nd to 3rd.
[D] [A] Then you can go to the 7th, back [G] to the 5th, [A] back to the sliding from the 2nd to 3rd.
Now here's a cool thing too.
You can slide to the 12th fret and basically what [D] that's doing is it's playing the same thing as this,
but in a higher octave.
So just like that.
Again, right behind the fret as you can see there.
So let's incorporate [A] that as well.
Go [G] to the 5th,
[D] back down, [A]
turn around, 7th, back to the [G] 5th.
[A] [D]
If you go to the 5th again, [G] 5th fret that is.
[D]
[A] 7th fret, [G] 5th fret.
[A] [D]
So [G] there's a basic sort of blues [E] progression that you can do with a slide and have some fun with it.
