How To Make Acoustic Slide Guitar Sound Like a Soul Singer
🎸 Free Guitar Lessons: https://jimmydillon.com/free

In this video, I walk you through some extended techniques for playing slide guitar in open G tuning (D-G-D-G-B-D). I start with the basics of Travis picking, show you how to get a smooth rolling groove going, and talk about how open tunings create a fuller, more expressive sound that’s easier to navigate with a slide.

I explain the I-IV-V chord progression in this tuning, demonstrate how to target root notes, and touch on important nuances like muting and damping to keep your tone clean. I also dig into the expressive vocal-like quality of slide guitar, referencing players like Derek Trucks and Duane Allman, and share my personal experiences and thoughts on getting the most out of your acoustic playing.

Toward the end, I switch to a National guitar tuned to C for a quick bonus demo on how to expand the tuning for some really rich sounds. If you love slide or want to get started, this is a great place to begin.
