Nice guitar! Congrats! There is so much great material in Open G and D....I very rarely play standard tuning on my National....Open G is harsher and bluesier for sure.....D is sweeter.......the nice thing is fingerings for the 1-4-5 are similar and just moving down a string....
If you are going to play slide, I recommend you force yourself to play with the slide on your pinky....Trust me.....you can thank me 6 months from now....There are some great players who play with the slide on their ring finger, but you have more fingering flexibility if you can play with it on your pinky....
Dive in and have a blast! There ain't nothing better than a National in Open G with a slide....
