  1. Im sorta new to slide. Duane, Derek and Warren are the style I want to learn. Watched few of your videos on youtube but man I cant seem to get it! Mine sounds nothing like yours! ( Yes Im in open e tuning)

  2. What amp are you using? Sounds great, ur lesson is great too by the way.

  3. thats cool i got a strat in open g and enjoy it i want an sg and plan to get one soon

  4. Thanks. I’ve had mine set up and strung with .11s. This SG will never see standard tuning as long as I own it.

  5. if your guitar is set up for it properly then the neck wont bend or have any problems

  6. I’ve had mine with .011s on it in open e tuning for many years now and have never had any problems.

  7. Is it safe to keep a SG in open E for extended periods? im using .10s

  8. im looking into getting a vintage vs6 and ive heard nothing but good things about them. I would like to know what string gauge you use and your action string height. any suggestions?

  9. Does the Mr. B’s Bottleneck have any radius to it? I’ve noticed that some "wine bottle" slides are curved.

  10. thank you very much dude! gonna work on that. =)

  11. Also, you can let the fleshy bit of your hand, to rest on the strings in order to eliminate that "jangly" sound. Thats how I do it.

  12. I mean your middle finger on the first string, and the index finger on the second. Sorry.

  13. Mute the strings with your right hand by placing your thumb in a diagonal position across the strings except those you want to sound. So an example would be: your index and middle finger on the first and second string respectively and the thumb muting the other 4 strings. As for the left hand, dampen the strings by placing your fingers in a vertical fashion across the strings(that means the fingers behind your slide).Of course, you can get a diff sound without damping your left hand.

  14. Perhaps do you have this video in spanish or any form to traslate it?
    Greetings.

  15. What a great selection to put together for a crash course with advanced tastiness to aim for! I’ve been jamming around slide on my own for a little while, have good hand control and vibrato, but was looking for a perfect lesson to get me out of my self-hack hit-and-miss rut — this was perfect! I swear if a beginner/intermediate just learns to master this set of licks and phrases — you can go anywhere afterwards confidently improv-ing ( and improving).

  16. Yes there are differences. Thicker ones sound bigger, but may be harder to play. Try out a bunch and find one that fits you the best. I use Mr B’s Bottleneck slides.

  17. hey john, are there differences between the thickness of the slide? i have one thats really thick and my friend has one thats really thin, which i prefer more because its easier for my finger to fit in (thats what she said) + easier to maneuver – but does that have an effect on the tone?

  18. didnt he do dreams and mountain jam in standard?

  19. my latest tune is in open e! stop by for a listen! Great playing by the way!
