Welcome to the nation John. I've seen some of your other videos on the web, had read your bio and enjoyed your playing. Good to see you here. Your guitar pics are great - nice builds, creative and elegant.

Tuned to GBD (low to high), exactly the same as top three of regular open G..take the G and B of regular guitar tuning, drop the top E a full tone to D and that's it. I find it's a good starting point for cigar box slide guitar playing, as it's a straight transfer from 6 string open G (assuming you are familiar with 6 string open tunings), you just have to learn not to rely on the bottom strings for the bassline and rhythm work... play for around ten years and that's about it...
