Another zinger from this lesson. Learn your minor pentatonic in open tuning. How did that never occur to me before? This is 11:36 of gold. Valuable gold. I got instant usable stuff from this. What a great teacher!
This is fantastic! I first heard Gary Moore covering this lick. Can't wait to find me one of these cigar box guitars. Great,great lesson I'll use in open G in the meantime on a regular guitar. I loved the idea of "grease"!
Using the bass strings? They'd give me 1, 5, 1 (D,A,D) In open D it looks like the 3rd string is a major 3. Usually I'd try this in open G on the 5th, 4th and third strings, giving me G,D,G...cigar box isn't modulated like a uke is it?
Stick to G on the 3 string. If by 'regular guitar' you mean a 6 string then got to D (DADF#AD). D on a 3 string (DAD) is still 151 so all you're doing is bringing the whole thing down in pitch.
Or just drop the thickest (6th) string down a whole step to D, if I'm only using the lowest 3 strings. I like that idea because I can tune in octaves to the fourth string and get back to standard quickly if we're playing a song in std tuning next. An even quicker way to add slide licks than tuning to open G! Thanks :-)

Noodlerification Thankyou, much appreciated. To play it on a six string though you’re better off in open D.
Oh! I've never used open D. I'll give it a whirl. Thanks :-)

Thanks so much. Now I'm sounding a bit like Hound Dog. Love it!
Thanks
