  1. what a great teacher and a good lesson. Thank you

  2. step one for me is to raise my action. way too close for slide. thanks for the great video, mister.

  3. i wish i had read this post a week ago. i dont have a computer so i just wrote down what he said ,went home and turned on my vox tonelab , tuned her up and punched myself in the face for 3 hours. this is a great video though, i love this guy

  4. want to see some great slide google  jimmy zee ride saskatoon

  5. This guy should read bedtime stories.

  6. That is a really creative open D tuning (0:34 – 0:58) DADF#BA! The planet waves chromatic tuner that he plugs right after probably tells you how a 1st string tuned down a fourth can support a slide….

  7. So many of these guitar tutorials hype themselves with their titles and they’re usually a disappointment or are confusing or over elaborate.
    This one lives up to it. Really good lesson. That guy has magic in his fingers!

  9. My gosh! Revelation. Your video open my world. EZ to understand! Your amazing teacher

  10. I laughed so hard It didn’t even sound like a laugh 😀

  11. I do, and he does. Both of us are way better than you. Don’t be stupid.

  12. I have been searching for the nameof the song at the begining of this video. Does anybody know the name of it? Or who it is by.

  13. Great lesson. AND i’m someone who almost NEVER plays slide. This i’ll try. on to part 2…>

  14. Correction: The 2nd string is tuned down to A (not B) and the first string is tuned down to D (not A)

    great lesson.

  15. Holy crap… I was taught by this guy last year at a blues guitar course!

    Needless to say, he was hilarious.

  16. Hahaha . . . this guy is making me want to play slide so bad.

  17. I’m a decent lead guitarist, but I’ve always had ridiculous trouble with slide. The whole L-shape concept makes things about a hundred times easier, best slide instructional I’ve seen!

  18. most concise simple and effective slide lesson I’ve seen….THANK YOU!

  19. awsome. a lot of good info in a short video. do you have to set the strings (action) especially high compared to non-slide playing?
