open tunings are for wusses, any rael professional slide player is gonna play in standard

yep, I play alot of slide anymore. I ussually play in open C(CGCGCE), but thats kinda a stretch on the strings. Open G is pretty quick to get through and sounds good(EGDGCD).

yea I do, I think when youre playing slide lead or with a band standard tuning slide is the best way to go. But i think when its just you playing with only the slide you need to use open tunings, like robert johnson and ben harper.

word up! open has it's place, but most slide guitarist will use like C6.
see http://www.well.com/user/wellvis/tuning.html the top has open stuff, then down below are the wackier ones and the "real slide" 8 string tunings.

that is definately not open G (DGDGBD is open G)

Yea i know, I just figured that he wanted to get to the tuning fast, to just forego the low string, becuase it dosnt really help you when youre sliding(if your trying it for the first time). I really shouldve metioned that...but im lazy :oops:
