GDG Tuning
G (top)
D (middle)
G (bottom)
CHORDS: w/ slide
Open (no slide or fingers on the strings) G
2nd fret A
4th fret B
5th fret C
7th fret D
10th fret F
Some things to do with this: s = slide into
G-------------------------0-----------------
D--------------------------7----------------
G--10s12--12s10--10----7----10s12---9
This will give a sound kind of like what you here in the Paris, TX stuff by Ry Cooder.
Bluesy stuff- Put the slide over the 2nd fret. m = palm mute. so slap your strings with your palm. should give a chunk sound
