tuning slide

This can be done by pulling out, and pushing in on the tuning slide. Pulling out will make the pitch go flat (or lower) and pushing in will make the itch more sharp (or higher). Once you hear the pitches align, and there is nothing conflicting, you are in tune.

The trombone is the only instrument in the brass family that uses a slide instead of valves to change pitch. A standard trombone is made of long thin brass pipes. Two U-shaped pipes are linked at opposite ends to form an "S." One pipe slides into the other so the total length of the pipe can be extended or shortened.

While many players favor standard (E-A-D-G-B-E) tuning, there are quite a few alternate tunings that are popular for slide guitar. One of these is Drop D tuning. Drop D tuning, when played on slide guitar, gives a song a lower, down-and-dirty feel.

A modern double or triple french horn has several tuning slides, which are sometimes moved during performance. In instruments such as the trumpet and tuba, small valve slides are moved manually or by means of a trigger while playing, to correct the pitch of the note selected by the valves.

Longer then the pitch will go flat if. We press it in it will go sharp. Because the instrument is shorter. So I'll play just a G in the staff at my normal tuning setting here.

So if I play the twelfth fret. That's an e note. I'll work with a major will also work with a minor. Okay we'll get back to that so if I want to do an a the fifth fret on the first. Two.

Playing Slide Guitar in Standard Tuning. As previously mentioned in the last blog, open tunings are the most commonly used tunings when playing slide guitar. However, it is entirely possible to be versatile in standard tuning with the right approach.

The most common open tunings amongst slide guitarists are E, D and G. Technically though you can tune your guitar to form any major chord. And so although they are less common, you can also tune your guitar to open A, B, C and F etc. You can also do the same with sharp and flat chords.

Open D tuning is very popular with slide guitar (or 'bottleneck') players, as it allows them to play complete chords using the slide. This tuning is also used in regular (non-slide) guitar playing. The full and vibrant sound it produces - particularly on an acoustic guitar - also makes it ideal for fingerstyle playing.

WHAT IS THE TUNING SLIDE? The tuning slide is used to make micro-tuning adjustments to the trombone. The tuning slide is found on the heel of the trombone and can be moved in and out with a small amount of pressure, allowing the player to make micro adjustments to the tuning as needed on the fly.

Standard Tuning: Standard but set tuner to 453Hz (they must have sped the tape up... a lot!) .
