Thanks for the clarification, Corey. I'll give Catfish Blues a try and post my take later, so I'll aso get a clue whether the recording/uploading process works well... Enjoy your...

 This might be a better attempt. I tried to use the base string. Anyway, I could probably take about a hundred more shots at it right now, but I'll call it quits before the...

@Graham...I'm not sure how many exactly, but there are a lot.  I still will add more open tuning songs with slide in the coming months.  Good luck!!

@ Steve...I guess just write them out...if you need any help just let me know.  Interesting to me that there are a lot of versions to this tune.  I never knew!!  Good luck.

@Maurizio...how is it going?

@Tony O....greetings and thanks for your message.  I think the best place to start is where you feel most comffortable.  Maybe try a simple song like Runnin and Hiding or .44...

@JD...the guitar is nice so don't be too hard on yourself!  There are a few things you can do to make it better but I think you already know what that is from reading your post...

Jim, Oscar Moore is another of my favorite guitarists. He was unique in his approach and was very fast for that time. I have incorperated some of his licks into my playing and they...
