    Beginners slide video here - • How To Play Blues Slid...
    We’re looking at ‘Walking Blues’ with elements that will help with guitar lessons in the Son House, Robert Johnson and Rory Gallagher.
    We then look at scales, old time backup on ‘Sitting On Top Of The World’ as well as a shuffle rhythm, a Keith Richards guitar style rundown and lastly some trick harmonics.
    Played on the National Resophonic Tricone 1.5, 1929 Gibson L-1 and the 1931 National Triolian.
    Get your bottleneck slide and get your resonator guitar blues on!

    Amazing how Robert Johnson was able to play with an element of percussion, bass, rythm and lead, simultaneous in his playing making it sound like more than one person is playing, way ahead of his time

      He copied a lot of songs like Life Saver Blues by Lonnie Johnson which gave him the blueprint for having that facility.
      He also was taught to play piano rudimentarily by his half brother so could translate that more complete style to guitar.
      The two books by Bruce Cornforth and Annye Anderson do a great job of describing his life and explain how he got his style.

Then over the course of the years in person as well. As you know ALL their music was inspired by the Delta Greats! I have seen almost every possible video on CZcams, 🤔 However you really captured the soul of the Delta! Really!! Unfortunately, using the open G tuning means having to learn the guitar ALL over again scales etc. The tough part is the slide and making it sound right and clean. Also, using the thumb for my base note and the index fingers on the higher strings. What exercise would you recommend to get this sound downpat? Baby steps! Again...Thanks!

    • @TheWashboardResonators
      @TheWashboardResonators  Před 10 měsíci +1

      There are videos on choosing these.
      I use Dunlop medium thumbpicks and National NP1 Fingerpicks.
      It is for opposite reasons. They’re stiffer do stay on as I have thin fingers.
      Took me years of trying dozens of products to find what fits me and works!!

    Hi Martyn, (Apologies for getting your name wrong initially). Great Video again. Lots of ideas for me to have fun with here. I've been for 9 months solely using Gibson nylon finger picks every day, (was a real struggle at first, but now really paying dividends on all the guitars I play) I notice you favor the metal finger picks. Is there a particular reason for this over nylon finger picks ?? or just simply your own personal choice ?? Thanks again.................

    • @TheWashboardResonators
      @TheWashboardResonators  Před 3 lety +1

      Nylon on the thumb because it’s softer than the strings and keeps them lasting longer. Metal thumb picks will ‘cut’ the strings and ruin the windings over time.
      Metal finger picks because they can be shaped tight enough to stay on, especially on hot days.
      These are practical considerations for someone gigging 200 times a year.
      I actually prefer the sound the opposite way around but it doesn’t work live or means I’m changing strings too often which is a ball ache.
      If it was a hobby or I was only doing 1, 2 or 3 gigs a month I’d do it differently.

    I quit purchasing guitar picks some years back. As i got tired of the price of a 2.0 Dunlop turtle green. Were 50¢ pc but must identify the correct plastic from which to harvest as my god. Plastic quality varies wide as the ocean.
    Many seemingly adequate pick making haed plastic such as soda lids or lids of any kind of food pb j mayo etc are 💯% garbage. For picks
    But from my experience the finest pick making plastic. Is the blue box that surround all GFI and light switch. Type of. Outlet.
    That is bloody ideal
    U can either use heat to melt it. And flatten with pliers but most importantly u sand the bevelled edges and points to your preference. And using finer and finer sand paper until the very end u take the finest grit. And literally rub the surface hard and firm preferably in long uninterrupted. Strokes to give the most dynamic. And advantageous. To u. Structure but this hard rub should make it look shiny as if its glazed or coated poly. So there is no unsmooth. Surface that would otherwise sound skranky and snag.
    But I also put on three different points on them usually I have like a dominant point but I like to slightly alter each pick a little bit so that if I get tired of holding a pick one way and my fingers ever get like numb I'n my picking hand i switch out. And instantly provide a much needed. Relief. But i become obsessed with which i prefer but u might find ur self. Indecisive as well but I definitely covet my own picks.

      Was the same for a long time coming to fingerpicking from playing bass with fingers or a plectrum. It comes eventually and when it does there’s so much you can do with the picks. It’s quite the opposite in terms of pick length... I like a fresh long Dunlop thumbpick.

    @SergeCeyral Před rokem +1

    One (small) interesting detail that very few delta blues teachers illustrate: as the key string is open string 4 (in open D) and open 5 string (in open G tuning), you don't have to learn the chords shapes in both tunings ! Whatever you do in open D, you can do it in open G, with a simple downward one string shift! Of course, it works with ANY chord (minor, 7th, sus4, 6th...). Isn't life wonderful?

    • @TheWashboardResonators

His open D minor tuning was quite puzzling for other bluesmen
