Lockdown Licks no. 247. “Strato-Skating” by Lockdown Licks. Played on a Stratocaster tuned to open A into a NUX M8 amp set to clean with slight reverb.
Playing the open A chord using no fretting hand! Into several bottleneck riffs following the ‘open A’ tuning through E,D,C chords to a “counterpoint” blues slide riff played at the 3rd fret, a harmonic A chord at 12th fret with one finger.. & couldn’t resist a last skating A chord slide up to 12th fret to end.
I am so grateful over the years to have listened to some of the finest slide playing from a big collection of vinyl/cds….
Duane Allman, Billy Gibbons, Bonnie Rait, Lowell George, Elmore James, Chris Rea, Justin Johnson, Joanna O’Connor, Dave Gilmour, Ry Cooder, Ron Wood, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Muddy Waters, Mark Knopfler, Clapton and others, all with their own distinct styles of slide. I only hope some rubs off on my play.
