I've always avoided Drop Tuning, but your video makes me want to give it a try. Thanks Tom.

@LEADSOLO 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah I don't like drop tuning myself. It changes the notes and I like to think the names of the notes when I play. But I just wanted to show that I think that's what he did on the studio recording. At least in this case we just drop one string.

I play that song since 20 years in open G tuning dude. So much easier to play and to add a pleasant slide solo.

@markdavich5829 3 жыл бұрын

There's this instrumental tune in the key of G, I figured out from Silent Partner floating around on the tube called Swamp Shuffle and I've been considering a way to extend it that would be cool. I was thinking maybe a key modulated solo from another guitar player but it occurred to me as you were playing the walk-down that THIS, would be by far, the coolest thing I could do - It would be absolutely killer to to jump into this. A band would have to be really tight to pull it off but if we're already playing Swamp Shuffle?... It shouldn't be a problem.

I tried to play this in the full Open G tuning and it sounds killer except that turn around riff. Keeping the high E tuned to E makes it a lot easier but you do give up some of that whole Open G full chords (if any of that makes sense). Many thanks. Great playing as always.

So what open tuning is this? G? Or is this a hybrid tuning? Could you give the tuning string by string please. Much appreciated and nice job!

@LEADSOLO 2 жыл бұрын

I only changed the A string, tuning it down a whole step to a G. I guess open tuning isn't exactly the right word. Yes I guess you would call it a hybrid tuning. I just did what I thought made sense and what it sounded like he probably did in the studio.

Yes I saw that once. It's just not worth it to switch guitars or tune when you're live for a few notes that are a bit easier to play. But it really sounds like he tuned it down on the studio.

@LEADSOLO Жыл бұрын

Good point. But that doesn't mean they weren't recorded separately and then they realized they sounded cool right up next to each other so edited them that way. Maybe that's why he always started playing it in standard tuning live. Then again maybe he always did. It just works out well for this song so I thought I would mention it.

This is sort of the lazy man's open G tuning... I do it a lot. instead of dropping the two E's down to D... just leave them and don't play on the lower string at all. Works well for both BadCO and Stones songs as well. The song makes so much more sense to play now.
