Example5 BRIAN JONES: SLIDE (NORMAL TUNING)

cd track 64

Brian frequently played slide in open tuning, but for simplicity, we’ve kept this example in regular tuning. Always position your bottleneck directly above the frets, not behind them as you would when fretting with fingers, to avoid sounding flat. Keep unwanted strings muted by resting your unused picking hand fingers on them. Many slide players mute using the first finger of their slide hand, resting it gently across all six strings.
