In this blog post I’m going to show you how I got this really cool bluesy slide guitar tone kinda in the style of Ry Cooder. This is a melody I’ve been playing for a while and I thought it sounded really cool when adding some effects to it such as vibrato. I feel the amp vibrato really gives it a cool sound when combined with the Wave Cannon.
Equipment Used:
Classic Vibe Tele
Fender 1966 Vibrolux
Caroline Guitar Company Wave Cannon
Listen to the Tune
This slide guitar is played in Open G Tuning. To learn more about playing slide guitar in Open G Tuning please check out my 4 DVD course about Open G Tuning.
Sounded Great John………………………………..
Thanks
John,
Wow – beautiful sound and, as always, beautiful playing and technique. I closed my eyes for a moment and thought I might be listening to Ry Cooder himself. That tone is the closest I’ve ever heard to the famous “Cooder-caster” that Ry plays. Great job – as always. Thanks!
Very impressive. Great sound and great play.
