Stour Delta Guitar for slide - advice, please. (12) RE: Guitar for slide - advice, please. 30 Jan 04


Joe, you've obviously seen the same Stefan Grossman video as me.
Infact he makes the point that the heavier the slide the greater the sustain.

That a cheap guitar has less overtones & harmonies than a "good
guitar" so is ideal.
I use an Hohner which has an action like a cheese cutter.

S.G. recommends an old "Harmony Stella"- yeah right as if you're gonna
find one of those easily.

BTW typical tunnings are open G (DGDGBE) and open D (DADF#AD.
Sorry if i'm teaching grandma to suck eggs!
