25 Great Slide Tunes in Standard Tuning
Many books show you how to play slide guitar with lots of `riffs` and scales, but just playing simple melodies you recognize is the best way to develop correct intonation and essential techniques like muting. There are 7 fundamental slide techniques that you will master and put into practice as presented in the `how to play slide` pages. The included slide exercises also help reinforce the 7 fundamental principles of slide playing that you will apply to the 25 tunes presented here.
These 25 tunes are some of the most well-known traditional, classical, blues & western songs. Arranged especially for slide guitar in standard tuning. Playing in standard tuning offers many rewards without the trouble of re-tuning, which again is missing in most slide guitar books. The tunes are in relative order of difficulty and perfect for those new to slide guitar. Even the most straightforward song can be difficult when considering the challenges of playing with a good tone and tuning. Audio tracks below.
Most of the tunes are arranged to keep the melody on one or two strings to produce a consistent sound. This is a common practice and much easier to play when less string skipping is involved. Some arrangements have the tablature written in the middle or down the fretboard to facilitate more natural position changes when switching between notes. With this collection of tunes, you will learn to perfect the fundamentals of playing slide guitar with a bit of practice and the right slide and correct guitar action.
