True medium strings are the best stock strings for open D tuning on
slide guitar. DR rare strings are what I fit on my steel string guitars. They are a hand made, low tension, hex core string that are easy on the hands. I use the DR mandolin strings as well. Planet waves dual action capo is simply the best guitar capo ever made. But these are the ones I cut to size for a variety of instruments. Dunlop lap dawg is my favorite slide. It is very easy to grip and very well priced. The Beard slide capo
is a good option for capoing slide guitars. |
