                            <![CDATA[ As songwriters, we think of tempo as the most basic of basics.

                            <![CDATA[ The last two blogs have been dedicated to some of the great slide guitar players past and present who have influenced me ore the years.  This week I thought it could be helpful to show y'all some of the tunings that these players use. Open tunings present a myriad of possibilities to achieve unique and original sounds. Try the ones in my video, create your own or Google open tunings. There are endless possibilities here. Remember, be original, that's the key to success as a player and a performer. ]]>
