Members bigm Posted June 26, 2003 Members Posted June 26, 2003 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
Members peckhart Posted June 27, 2003 Members Posted June 27, 2003 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.
Members 335clone Posted June 27, 2003 Members Posted June 27, 2003 There is some scale info here. http://eceserv0.ece.wisc.edu/~sethares/alternatetunings/opentunings.pdf
