LESSON ONE: Open G tuning: On the Sunny Side of the Ocean, Spanish Two Step and It Came Upon A Midnight Clear. St.Louis Blues played in a dropped D tuning. LESSON TWO: In this lesson John explores the possibilities of playing in an open C tuning. The Union Pacific has a distinct blues quality, Requiem For John Hurt has an  Eastern  feel. Simplicity often creates beauty and John does this with his version of Auld Lang Syne. LESSON THREE: This lesson concentrates on John s slide guitar playing. Steamboat Gwine Round The Bend played in open G demonstrating many of John s unique technical ideas. The Christmas carol Silent Night is presented in the slide style. John s popular arrangement of Poor Boy A Long Way From Home played in open D tuning finishes the series.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music Sales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47333555077365,"sku":"SONG0786662077","price":25.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/51JmyFFjx4L.jpg?v=1763922975","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/fingerstyle-slide-guitar-in-open-tunings","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
