Saut Crapaud Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 i bought a tricone a year or so ago with great intentions of playing like fred mcdowell or blind willie mctell. that slide thing is a bitch to do well and i put it aside for about 8 months. i put the strings i use on my gibson j 45 (d'addario phosphor bronze medium guage). they just don't sound the same. my playing has alot to do with it but i don't want to disadvantage myself with impropre string selection. anybody have any advice or opinions of preference for resonator string selection?

anthony Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 John Pearse makes strings that are intended for Open G tuning. I always keep my reso in Open G for slide. Check 'em out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
