Okay lets DO some bar slants!

Dave Horch · From: Frederick, Maryland, USA

There have been a few great threads in other parts of the forum regarding bar slants and proper technique, etc.

LET'S GET SOME GOING HERE!

Here's an "easy" and cool two string slant to get started with... The cool thing about it is that it has notes moving in two directions. I love that. Basically, it's a V->I move. In this case, in the key of C.



1 __________________________________________


2 __________________________________________


3 ____8b~________8~~~~3 ~~~3b_______________


4 __________________________________________


5 ____8a~________8~~~~4a~~~3a_______________


6 __________________________________________


7 __________________________________________


8 __________________________________________


9 __________________________________________


10__________________________________________

(Squeeze the pedals into the first chord if you'd like)

Remember the "rules"; No wrist bending allowed!

See this post http://steelguitarforum.com/Forum5/HTML/002050.html for proper technique and lots of wisdom.

And for newer players (like me, more or less), don't worry about blocking/damping behind the strings for now when doing this "slant". Just try it!

(My Thanks to Billy Cooper, who first showed me this slant in a lesson.)

Best, -Dave
