Velcome, from Sweden. Hope you stay around.
Re: Hi from Birmingham England
Thanks for the welcomes.
And yes i intend to stay around.
Just a little more about myself, cant play standard anymore due to auto immune issue fingers just dont want to move.
So i tuned to open D and started messing around and found really enjoy the sound coming out.
Just using my thumb and index to pluck / strum strings

Re: Hi from Birmingham England
Do you use a slide?
Re: Hi from Birmingham England
No,dont use slide as of yet. just barre with finger.
Re: Hi from Birmingham England

Hi and to the forum Zimmie.
I hope you find the help here you're looking for with moving on with the blues. You can do a lot of good blues work with a thumb and index technique.
If you are messing around with open tunings and looking at blues then a slide is a great option - it's a bit of a shortcut to instant "Delta" without needing to play anything too complicated. Once you get the basic slide technique in place that is, and assuming you have one that fits properly!
