Can You Play Delta Blues Slide in Standard Tuning?

[@mykneeshurt8393]

I feel being able to play slide in standard tuning only enhances playing slide in open tuning. There is so much technique that can be learned in standard tuning.

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

That's a great insight and I agree, it helps you dial in your technique and I find myself moving around more in standard which helps keep me from getting locked into one spot on the neck.

Love your lessons man! Thank you 🙏🏽

[@Blue_3rd]

OOh! First one :) This will be fun. I´ve been trying to play in standard for a while, after a few years of open D and open G. Cheers! PS: Check out Warren Haynes for some excellent standard tuning slide.

[@StopyerBitchin]

Looks like you put a Capo behind the nut to raise the action?

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

No, it's just there so I don't loose it :) It doesn't do anything to the action and it's not clamping down hard at all. Just enough so it stays put.

great lesson, thanks

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

Thanks, Drew!

[@annemariekaczorowski1863]

Very nice. What slide are you using?

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

Hi Anne Marie! This is my Rocky Mountain shorty slide. Just changing things up from my usual Black Mountain.

[@annemariekaczorowski1863]

@@BluesGuitarInstitute I like it as it looks short

[@joeb3590]

I have a great great example of why you shouldn't raise the action, message me for a clip.

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

tried to message you here on YT but I don't think it's set up on your channel. I'd like to see the clip though, can you send it here: my.bluesguitarinstitute.com/support/
