I only ever generally play slide in regular tuning and work chord shapes and pentatonics mainly. Anyone care to extol the virtues on playing in an open tuning beyond simply being able to play full chords with a finger/slide? Any pointers to good videos would be good too. I've tried it but I always feel a bit lost because i have to grope around for shapes that I know instinctively in standard tuning.

Also, work extensively on a beautiful, controlled vibrato. Just as in conventional playing, nothing says "amateur" like frenetic, warbly vibrato, unless it's used as a deliberate effect.
