How to learn the three most important scales for blues in Open E tuning (slide guitar)

Рет қаралды 7,820

Күн бұрын

Learning scales for slide guitar in Open E tuning requires a quite different approach from that used in standard tuning. In this video, I’ll show you how to map out the minor pentatonic, major pentatonic and mixolydian scales in the key of E in Open E tuning. Free resources for this video are available here: www.onefingerguitarist.com/of...
This a detailed video, so once you’ve watched the whole thing, I’d suggest working through each scale one at a time.

thank you this has helped me with my beginnings with open E slide and using scales as well for beginner slide players, and for people who read my comments it would be in your best interest to take notes on paper

Thanks for checking it out and the comments! Yes, this was largely unscripted, so there are definitely things not in the handouts that can be helpful to note down 🙂

This is very well done. The content is easy to understand and relatable to musicality. I like that this video caters to an intermediate to advanced standard player who could apply their knowledge to Open E slide playing. Trying to mix info for beginners and intermediate players can create frustrating moments for both levels. Thanks for thinking it through. Also, your vibe is great for teaching. Cheers!

I could not help but notice when going from the minor pentatonic to the major the diagram was the same yet you were listing off different frets I’m a little confused probably something to do with Theory correct?

Ah, I have a horrible feeling that editing videos whilst on holiday might mean a mistake snuck in there - sorry! The PDFs in the resources section of the website are correct: www.onefingerguitarist.com - you can print those off, and they should relate directly to what's discussed in the video. I'll triple-check next time when there are diagrams onscreen! Thanks for spotting it 🙂
