Question:

I am not really that familiar with the guitar.?

I've been listening to some Elmore James. I know he plays slide guitar. Is the slide guitar used with a standard tuning on his songs? Ithink the slide is usually used in open tunings, but then again, I really don't know.


Answers:

That's some great music.

His typical tuning was either open E or open D. With open E the tuning of the strings is as follows (starting with the first bass string):

E, B, E, G#, B, E.

Open D tuning is one step down from open E tuning (again starting with the first bass string):

D, A, D, F#, A, D.

He had a really powerful emotion generated with both guitar and voice.

Keep dusting that broom!
