This lesson demonstrates how to phrase your slide playing in order to match a singer. You’ll notice that the great slide players, Charlie Patton, Fred McDowell, Blind Willie Johnson, Derek Trucks, etc, make their bottleneck playing sound like a voice. Hopefully, with this lesson you’ll get some ideas for how to practice this!
