TO READ OR NOT TO READ?

Contrary to popular belief, being a session guitarist does not necessarily mean you have to be a fluent reader. Many producers and musical directors are keyboard players and have no idea how to write for guitar. In fact many producers have very little musical knowledge and get their results by hiring the right players. More often than not, a chord chart is all that you get. As a professional you are expected to turn that chord progression into music. It is therefore often more important to be able to invent something on the spot than to be a fluent reader with nothing to read and nothing to say...

Crash course in Drop D slide guitar "I then tried a drop D tuning, but only tuning the 6th string down: D A D G B E. I settled on this tuning, and now I always play in this tuning, whether I�m playing slide or not, and no matter what key I�m in. This gives me the best of both worlds: The bass strings ( D A D ) wind up being 2 tonics and a V. Neither minor nor major. I can grab those three strings with the slide and I have a nice low, thick open-tuned sound, which I can play against either minor or major chords"
