Some ideas to play bootle neck guitar in the style of Ry Cooder with a Drop - D tuning.

 

Hi HP

Nice to see some slide guitar ideas, your range of tuition is immense and allows a great choice. Having gravitated away from playing 3 string cigar box guitar to the six string I used a bottle neck regularly. I have a kit-built Firebird I use solely for slide playing. One question are you in drop D or open D tuning for this? many many thanks for the inspiration.

Hey there

yeah I do slide guitar from time to time and when I do it I mostly select a drop D tuning or a normal tuning.

Thats really cool having that 3 string cigar box guitar - I think I saw that once on the channel of a guy named justin johnson or something like that.
