Joey skips along down a path that must have taken forever to pave, hours of private wrestling and wading and slogging through marshy terrain until it became Terra firma. Thanks so much for sharing that path, means a lot.
I've only gotten through 11 minutes of this, but it took me an hour because I was having so much fun playing new stuff. Thinking of it as strings 3,4,5 = major triad, strings 4,5,6 = 1st inversion, and strings 2,3,4 = 2nd inversion really helped me get my bearings in open tuning.
Thank you, Joey! I just wish that several knowledgeable musicians find time/energy and share their knowledge and experiences in both a competent and understandable way as you do. Mainly for all these young guitarists (in this case) who really want to learn something worthwhile.
Great vid ❤The old lap steel players used to utilise their extended open chord tuning and use alot of arpeggios across the neck to achieve jazz lines, not so much along the neck. Along the neck was more often semi-tone chromatic runs or leaps to other positions. Check out Joaquin Murphey for instance.
Dude I just discovered you guys music. I found this talk highly informative, moving, and inspirational. I don't even know how I came across this but I'm actually on a similar journey with D5 tuning on my resonator. Done this way: DADDAD. I've been getting real into slide and have been trying decide if I wanted to dedicate that guitar to open D or G. Neither felt quite where I wanted to be and one day I just decided to drop that 3 string down to another D and bam I was there. It seems like it should be more limiting but it opened things up for me in so many ways and in the past week I've written two of the best songs of my life. Now my sound is developing into something completely different then the stuff I used to write. I'm in the middle of releasing my first album and I can't wait to get back in the studio cause I'm just exploding with all the new possibilities lol. Definately gonna dabble a little in open C now.
Any idea if Joey ended up manufacturing those bridges and where I can pick one up? I have an LP style guitar that I have currently in open C and would love to try and get it intonating better.
Great video Thanks! He says he plays in Open C, but It's not really open c? right? the sound doesen't much that: 1 string - E4 (the thinnest) 2 string - C4 3 string - G3 4 string - C3 5 string - G2 6 string - C2
Really interesting to hear the difference in tone with the lighter strings. I've got so used to the heavier gauge wooliness of Joey's tone that the crispier brighter tone takes a bit of work for my ears to get used to. But maybe it's just because he put the new strings on and that's the difference in sound I'm hearing.
I am in Ontario Canada and I just starting to learn to play slide guitar. I have a Fender Pro ll Strat with a splittable Humbucker pickup in the bridge position. My tutor has me playing open G. The amp I am using is a Boss Katana Artist Mk ll. Which pickup do you recommend I use for getting a good tone playing slide, the bridge in Humbucker mode or any of the three as a single coil?
Joey's been a real big influence over the last few years. When I started, I was 12 and a big heavy rock fan. Now that I'm older I just dont dig it anymore but still love playing guitar. Seeing and listening to him make music really got me off my butt to learn more and that you can still play a les paul with a thick fuzz tone and still make sophisticated and enjoyable music. These lessons mean a ton to me. Thanks to Joey and Stringjoy for this video!
I'm the same way. Started out playing 90's heavy rock. At some point, I really started gravitating towards players like SRV, Ben Harper, Ry Cooder, etc. Players that conveyed heavy but more in a gritty bluesy tone. Just discovered Joey on the Jackson Audio Fuzz pedal video. The tones he was making from that pedal are exactly where I'm at in my guitar path. That's my idea of heavy now.
Not really related to the video but something has annoyed me for quite a while: I just can't find an "open A tuning strings set/recommendation". I've seen open G, E, D and even open C tuning, but not A. I would love to play "In my time of dying" or "Catch hell blues" along with the recording, without a capo, but the B (if not the G) string keep on snapping when tuning it up. It would mean a lot to me if you guys did a quick video explaining what would be a nice string set for open A tuning that would balance the tension and won't let the strings break (bonus if it also works nice with a slide). Cheers
Two and a half times round on this so far. Dusted off my first ever electric, set it up high and picked up a signature slide to start my open C/slide journey. So many lessons in one place - thank you Joey and Stringjoy for facilitating.
Absolutely! It's varied a fair bit over the years, but .017 - .019p - .022w - .032 - .044 - .056 is the lighter variant and the one just before that was .019 - .022p - .024w - .038 - .050 - .064
@@pasnpp Joey has always preferred it that way in all of the different set iterations. I think particularly for slide having too light of a string up there can be challenging. Similar things are standard for Dobro strings for example.
We’re hoping to have a small run of these made for public sale soon. I’m currently working with the manufacturer to refine the prototype before having a batch made up.
He makes his process of using a) what facts he knew + b) logic to remap the fretboard and chord voicing seem trivial and like you could accomplish it in a weekend. The truth is that it would take years and years and years and most mortals would still not have the deep diatonic knowledge that Joey has.
us early church and 3 chord organ players found it sounded better to play the 5th on the bottom ; C would be ;low g then c on top, to sound like guitars. no thirds. you ears tell you.. nice vid, after sonny. akin maybe,
With the blues sauce, I bet most wouldn't enjoy a perfectly intonated guitar. Think about the True Temperament fretboards. The perfectly in tune chords almost sound sterile, anemic. It's weird.
Thank you to the 500+ of you who were in the livestream, that was amaaaazing. And a HUGE thank you to Joey for doing such a great job.
Joey skips along down a path that must have taken forever to pave, hours of private wrestling and wading and slogging through marshy terrain until it became Terra firma. Thanks so much for sharing that path, means a lot.
I liked your words for “Realize what I know, and figure out how to use it to learn what I don’t know”. Will share with my students.
2 years on and I still come back to this as the ultimate Master Class for slide geeks! Totally superb!
Glad it's been so useful for you, that is too cool!
"Come on brain, you can do it!" Best comment ever!!! I'm totally blown away by this young man, so brilliant!! GREAT Masterclass!! Thanx!!
Thanks for keeping this up so I could catch it later! Busy day at work. 🤜🤛
We know how that goes, believe me! No worries at all, glad you were able to catch it!

Have lost count of the number of times I've learned and enjoyed this stream. Thank you Stringjoy and @joeylandreth.
Joey you are as good a teacher as you are a guitarist...what an eye opener,thank you so much for the inspiration to explore new ideas.
The guy is the best. Thanks so much for posting this
Glad you digged it!
Awesome stuff. Thanks, Joey! Be well. And a +1 for Stringjoy strings. Some of the best I've played.
You should start a TH-cam channel and do this more often. Awesome live stream
Wonderful.Really enjoyed this.👏
Holy moly. How is this fella not a world renowned guitar hero?
I've watched this like six times learning the Open tuning. Such a great lesson!
Thank you, Joey! I just wish that several knowledgeable musicians find time/energy and share their knowledge and experiences in both a competent and understandable way as you do. Mainly for all these young guitarists (in this case) who really want to learn something worthwhile.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it live! But I am very much looking forwards to watching this.
thank you so much for this lesson.... it has opened up some new doors towards the wonderfull world of slide guitar
This is amazing! Helps you develop such an understanding to theory!
@Joey Landreth i really loved this video awesome stuff.

Really useful information and an excellent delivery. Thanks Joey and and thanks Stringjoy.
Thanks to Stringjoy and Joey for doing this from me, a slide guitar nut.
Really enjoyed this! Just got a slide from Rockslide and that led me here. I Will buy Stringjoy. I have before. Will again. Peace
This is great - thanks a lot!
Please, make a book out of this approach to slide! Everything I‘d like to learn...
I hear you thanks for thr lessons!!!!!
@36:00 - a familiar song to start on Lydian is Walking on the Moon - Bb Lydian - loop the chords and dive into Lydian.
Great stuff joey

Definately gonna dabble a little in open C now.
Presidents of the United States guitar player played a 3 string guitar that was essentially DAD (C#G#C#).
Incredible!!
Any idea if Joey ended up manufacturing those bridges and where I can pick one up? I have an LP style guitar that I have currently in open C and would love to try and get it intonating better.
For drop c I use 28-40-58 for the lowest strings for balanced tension
Thanks!
Great video Thanks! He says he plays in Open C, but It's not really open c? right?
the sound doesen't much that:
1 string - E4 (the thinnest)
2 string - C4
3 string - G3
4 string - C3
5 string - G2
6 string - C2
CGCEGC 6 to 1
Hi Joey - was curious if you’re related to Sonny Landreth?

Yes, I can hear you

I was thrown at first. I was like: “This guy’s really good….Joey Landreth must be coming on in a minute.”
Then I was like “Hey!”
Gimme one of them bridges!!!
this just blew my f*&^cking mind
What key is the oooops cord?
Guys, where I am may buy 17/64 strings?
Hello anyone,
How can I contact Joey to take some lessons with him?
Many thanks for potential help to contact him.
how do you know how old your strings are?
Stringjoy, could you post the gauges of both the pre-Covid set of strings and the "Covid hands" set?
Excellent video, by the way.
Absolutely! It's varied a fair bit over the years, but .017 - .019p - .022w - .032 - .044 - .056 is the lighter variant and the one just before that was .019 - .022p - .024w - .038 - .050 - .064
Stringjoy Thanks!
Stringjoy Is there an advantage to setting the tension on the highest c string so much higher than the rest of the set?
@@pasnpp Joey has always preferred it that way in all of the different set iterations. I think particularly for slide having too light of a string up there can be challenging. Similar things are standard for Dobro strings for example.
When this guy plays it sounds like a happy John Travolta movie from the 90s.
Why u dont make coated strings?
Hi, are you in Open C Tuning from 7.5 minutes into the video? Thanks
Yes he is
Anybody know where Joey got that tailpiece? I'd love to put one on my LP Special that I keep in this tuning.
I believe Soroking developed it with him, a great luthier from Canada!
We’re hoping to have a small run of these made for public sale soon. I’m currently working with the manufacturer to refine the prototype before having a batch made up.
I hear you and the guitar just fine...now.
What amp are you plugged into?

F major is the V of Bb Thats correct but Bb is the IV of F not the V of F.
Good
Slide tips at 38:00
Woooohooo
I wonder if Rory the cat is named after Rory Gallager, The Baddest Cat
Damn Rick Beato.. ehrbody playin 9s now. lol
us early church and 3 chord organ players found it sounded better to play the 5th on the bottom ; C would be ;low g then c on top, to sound like guitars. no thirds. you ears tell you.. nice vid, after sonny. akin maybe,
For some reason the playback is chattering - starting and stopping a few seconds all the way through - just mentioning it fyi.
It seems to be good now, it might have been something while TH-cam was processing the vid from a stream to a normal video.
CGCEGC isn’t that open D down a tone
Why Open C....what's the advantage ...why not G or D? Or is this just some sort of "thing"
waw, Scott hes rely agd alat.
Who’s watching this ahhboooo

Brett garseds middle finger no big deal
👍🏼
wake up mate ...you're drifting along without much focus.
Warren Haynes plays standard which convinced me to stay standard lol
Guitar is overwhelmingly unattractive. Machine heads look like buck teeth on it.. 😂😂😂
