Lol and then he’ll slide backerds.
want to see some great slide google jimmy zee ride saskatoon
sounds like that teacher off south park, mmmm kay?
You can, but I don’t like to.
can you play slide with a pick????
I use a Mr B’s Bottleneck slide. My favorite. It’s all personal preference. Go try some out.
I’m a begginer slide student/ Do you think any of the ‘ring slides’ or other slides are of allman value ? – could you tell me what you like if any? ie: do I have to be abler to cover x number of strings with the slide?
To the guys talking about string guage, try using a heavier string on your high e. If you have a spare b throw that on. A little lighter is better. That extra tension makes it easier to play leads on that string. And as always the bigger the string the fatter the tone, so play em as heavy as you can stand.
Love it specially your statement " in guitar playing there’s no rule" nothing can be more true than that ! Thanks for sharing this nice lesson !
actually, Duane used an old Coricidin-D green aspirin bottle…..ok, now play "Dreams"!!!
flat radius and high action makes it waaay easier.
….yet open E is a tight tuning so I guess the gauge mustn’t be too thick either, on internet I found controversial info about Duane’s guage, some say it used 010 in open E, some 011, however most people believe he used 010. For this reason I asked John, since he really caught Duane’s tone and knows all his tricks, so if he says 011 on a les paul is the right gauge I’ll go for it.
well I’ve been playing slide guitar for almost 20 years, but mostly with loose open tunings such as open D and G on a telecaster and 011 gauge, I seldom played open E too with 09 again on a telecaster, a little lose but not that bad. I’m now playing in a southern rock band and got gibson guitars, so yeah I got all figured out as for the playing, I just asked for a suggestion since gibsons have a shorter scale, therefore thicker gauge are normally recommended….
you got all figured it out except the string gauge???
Why do most of guitar players dig only the secondary things in guitar playing like guitar model,speed, string gauge and effects? What about melody and feel? It seems pretty hard to me to play like that , specially to master that right hand technique.
Nice lesson John!
Thanks for sharing!
I use .011 GHS Boomers.
what strings gauge would you recommend on a gibson for the open E tuning? 0.10?
Really enjoy and appreciate the lessons. Would like to know how to execute the raking technique can you explain?
Hi . My faded SG’s 1st birthday was, 2 days ago. An obviously great guitar for playing anysound / anytime. Thanks for the informative lesson.
Cheers.
Hey John, how do you get that rake technique? i know it involves your thumb but if you could just walk me through what your hand does i’d appreciate it…
do you play the pentatonik or what scales are here?
Duane used an old Coricidin bottle. If you search on the internet, you will find lots of places that make replicas. I think Dunlop makes one. Originals go pretty high on ebay.
Where can i get a slide like you have. Looks like an old aspirin bottle.
what kind of slide is that. looks like an old aspirin bottle. Where can i get one like this.
I set my SG to with the action at the upper end of the factory specs, or just slightly above, and I use Ernie Ball Power Slinkies. These strings have a heavier upper end relative to the lower end. This combination makes it nice for slide, plus its not so aggressively setup that it is hard to play fretted notes. So its not hard to go back and forth between slide and non-slide. Also it helps to play slide on a guitar with a flatter fretboard radius, such as a SG.
