DELTA BLUES Licks in Crossnote (Skip James) Tuning

[@danbgt]

This is wonderful John. I have been seriously fooling around with open D for a few months now and have had a blast. This alternate opens up a whole different look. Thanks!!

[@Gravychook]

Awesome tuning. With some distortion/High tone, could have some black metal styled blues 😁🤟

[@garrickpridemore413]

Oh yeah this is a blast for sure!!!

[@Bjornlundstrom]

Yeah..agree😎👍🎶

[@v0Xx60]

Oh my. Now that's some lovely dissonance. Gotta try that.

[@lemonpepperdry5818]

Thank you for this content.

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

You bet, Play On!

[@Questmetalband]

Skip was way ahead of his time. It's like Black Sabbath before Black Sabbath

GREAT!! Thanks john!!

[@benjaminj.7897]

This is fantastic. Can we get a part 2 with more licks?

[@jaxxanthony5350]

A tip: you can watch movies on kaldroStream. Been using it for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

[@bostonmatias4800]

@Jaxx Anthony yup, I have been using kaldroStream for months myself =)

[@kellenlincoln2052]

@Jaxx Anthony yea, I've been watching on KaldroStream for since december myself :D

[@malaquiasalfaro81]

Is this the style that Colter Wall’s Devil Wears a Suit and Tie is in? It’s obviously heavy on blues, but didn’t seem as cocky as Delta Blues nor have as much groove as Hill Country Blues.

[@snizdoc2302]

Don’t quote me on that particular song but he often plays in standard tuning but with all strings tuned down a half step. He’s a very skilled guitarist and I believe he uses the extra slack in the strings to allow better pronunciation when bending and hammering on/off

[@macewen1]

any tips on something really swampy sounding?

A slide and a rattle snake tail

[@Jest7869]

What model larivee is that, it’s gorgeous, and what strings ?

[@BluesGuitarInstitute]

Thanks! This is my Larrivée OM09 and I almost always use the D'Addario EJ16s. I've dabbled with other strings and I'm not certain what I used in this video but I always come back to the D'Addario's.

[@Bjornlundstrom]

Yeah😎👍🎶

[@llevins0n]

I’ve been playing this tuning for years, it’s fully representing my style, but I get stock. How I can keep progressing into this tuning ?

[@georgefromgreece4119]

By moving to DADAAd. Less is more.

[@logolorin]

is it DADF#AD ?

[@timsim1940]

F flat for a minor sound

[@SuzieKew]

@@timsim1940 Well strictly F natural (F flat would actually be E)
