right on, i like open D myself but whatever works.

let me guess, the level of controversy regarding learning slide in standard or open tunings is akin to the controversy regarding learning guitar on an electric as opposed to an acoustic, right? they both have their merits i suppose, if i want to play a 'normal' scale based solo with a slide i find it's easier to use standard tuning. on the other hand i find that playing rhythm with a slide sounds like garbage unless you're using an open tuning.
