Mike Dowling, Part 2: How to Play “Let the Mermaids Flirt with Me”
Mike Dowling shows you how he converted Mississippi John Hurt’s classic “Let the Mermaids Flirt with Me” (which Hurt played in standard tuning in the key of C) into an open-D tuning slide guitar piece. Using rock-solid Travis picking, Dowling’s arrangement combines the tune’s melody with full-sounding open-string chords.He also talks about adding some harmonies to his vocal melody with the slide and what kind of slide works well with the low action he prefers on his National.
