songs to learn slide playing with

You're on some great ones! Don't try to learn 'em note for note, pick out the bare bones and do that.

Curtis Loew is in Open D or E tuning, though, and Mr. Banker works great in a D7 tuning, or at least that's how I learned it.

open G. then you have to play Rollin and Tumblin.

it is your basic 1 V VII.

I is your open chord (G)
V is the fifth fret (C)
VII is the seventh fret (D).

another is Little Red Rooster

and then Love In Vain.

all great in G.

dont forget to tip your slide up at the back so the nose points downward into the string. it will igive you nice clarity for single notes.

slow ride by foghat is a good song that has slide in it

Oh yeah, Little Red Rooster! A big fave of mine. You need to find Howlin' Wolf's version and listen to it.

I'm fairly certain that Mean Old World (Duane Allman playing slide) is in open E.

For open G, as was said, Rollin' and Tumblin' is a great one, and very easy. Open G is cool in that you can make some really catchy, cool sounds in just a short time.

Early Stones songs.

I'm working out You got the Silver now just for slide. (one guitar not two)

Oh yeah, Little Red Rooster! A big fave of mine. You need to find Howlin' Wolf's version and listen to it.
Get Howlin Wolf's London Sessions. Before he actually plays the song there is about a minute to a minute and a half where you hear Wolf actually TEACHING Clapton how to play it

that is a must have for any blues fan.

i have a version of little red rooster w/ Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters that is sweet, i'll have to find the london sessions version though. Rollin and tumblin sounds like a good one to learn also.

The guitar pro tab i have of Mean old world is in open G and sounds pretty good, I dont know about tuning my 60's Stella parlor to open E, it might fall apart! I was trying to play the Skynyrd slide parts in standard tuning, thanks for all the tips!

"Love Spreads" by the Stone Roses is an awesome slide song that i had forgotten about!

I dont know about tuning my 60's Stella parlor to open E, it might fall apart! Use Open D. Same thing, a step lower. If you want to play in E, capo on the second fret. Or use light strings, like 10s or even 9s, and tune it on up.

Thanks for the tip, Ricochet. Could u tell me how to tune down to a "D7"? Mr Banker is one of my favorites.

"I told you mister, I ain't got no house
Ain't got no car, I got me a 1950 Les Paul guitar
Won't you take it mister banker,
Won't you bury my papa for me
Oh mister banker please"

RIP Ronnie, Steve, and Cassie

If anyone wants them, I have tabs for "Rollin' & Tumblin'" and for "Red Rooster"

Greybeard: I'd love to see both. The current tabs I've got for those are not very good. Can you put 'em in the ESD?
