http://www.blueslessons.netThis is an easy 12-Bar-Blues for slide guitar beginners.
To make it sound good you´d try another tuning: Open G.Open G is easier for beginners because you loosen the strings insteas of
tight them up like in Open E tuning. The risk by tighten strings is that
the neck and top can´t take the much higher string tension.To get from standard tuning to open G tune both E strings down a whole
step to D and the A string a whole step down to G. Thats it!Standard Tuning E A D G B e Open G Tuning D G D G B D Open E Tuning E B E G# B E Now we play a typical 12-Bar-Blues in open G!
