I'm fascinated by people that are great at playing slide. Its such an emotive way to play. When I try I sound terrible. I feel inspired to work at it though after watching this.

Hey Tyler, you should get specialists like this and throw some curve balls at them. For instance in this situation... i love the sound of slide but it always gets used in country and bluesy stuff. How about we see him attack some metal ;) That genesis sounding power pop jam in the middle of the vid was sweet!

I love slide but like alot of guitarist I don't use it much so I'm just wondering. Since he's in a open tuning? Isn't he only able to play in a couple different keys? Pretty sure I know the answer so just curious. Thanks, great show 👍

I’ve played with Mike for the last 4-5 years at least once a week. And we have played every key, every chord, every whatever. Don’t think the open tuning holds him back.

Can you explain playing over sine waves

@mykhedelic6471 2 ай бұрын

Matching pitches, sine waves are pure pitches, mathematically accurate, no overtones, etc. They sound like an old phone, or the nakedest synthesizer. Sort of like how Tyler called them a pitch metronome-- nothing fancy, ultra consistent, perfectly A440 for eternity (or whatever pitch theyre set to.) You learn to go to the pitch and use your ears and adjust to match. Like he said, a sitar player will drill so that their body goes to the pitch on the board, every time, and work to bend around it for the desired expression. Probably not alot of "fun" but a great way to be disciplined and really dial yourself in sonically and physically.
