Down By The River on slide guitar

Yet another spontaneous arrangement came to mind today at work here is the result. I really like the Buddy Miles version of this tune, so that's more of what I was basing it off of. Enjoy!

Thanks! The Trilogy is fun to use. I use it primarily for dropping from open E into open Em7 (EBEGBD) and also to drop the low E string down to D and C. The saddles it came with are a bit fiddly so I made a one piece saddle for it out of angle iron, similar to what you'd see on a lap steel. It looks like this:

Excellent stuff. Almost an Indian feel to some of the slide work to my ears. Also, it totally distracted me from the guy who's shouting 'we want the telly (tele?) back' over and over outside the pub on the edge of the estate.

I think this may be your strongest video yet. Who knew that solo electric slide guitar could sound so full and lush?

O' course, all that high dollah vintage gear you're using must be part of it...
