I am learning slide guitar in open G and was wondering where I could get scale charts for the guitar fret board in open G tuning.

I want to be able to play my regular scales I use in standard tuning in open G. thx

I went to the National Guitar Workshop last summer and took slide as a minor. You don't spend a lot of time in the minors so we didn't get too deep into it, but I will share this.

Someone asked about scales in opening tunings and the instructor said you don't play scales with slide in opening tuning. He showed us a bunch of tricks around I-IV-and V chords. Things like working L shape licks around those chords changes, the Allman jerk technique and a few other tricks.

 

But I would have to agree that it would be nice to know where some of the notes you normally hit are when you are in a different tuning.

Why not transcribe it yourself? Take the scale patterns you know and move them according to the interval you moved each string to get to the open tuning.
