Lately been playing lots of blues slide in open A. It's begining to sound a little stale. Anybody have any secret blues tunings that have that delta, swampy, sort of nasty, voodoo vibe??

No, I wish I did. I've gotten to mess around with the slide a couple of times and they're really sweet punchy. I think it's probably easiest just to use the pentatonic blues scale tuned in standard E don't you think? I know that's the only thing I feel comfortable in.

So then, do you just tune you're guitar to one of those tunings and play the marked frets?

mr. Rebel
Welcome to GT forum!!
I figure you;re from the south so you must know what I mean by that voodoo vibe. I haven't tried all the tunings YET but despite its name; Big City looks like it might get me that laid backporch kind of sound with that AA at the top. I'm new to resophonic and any tips are much appreciated.
Peace my brothers!!
