Ever wanted that soulful, expressive slide guitar sound—without actually using a slide? In this lesson, @JakeBaynes breaks down the “slideless slide” technique so you can get that smooth, vocal-like tone using just your fingers and some right-hand finesse.

You’ll learn:
⦿ How to hold your pick while fingerpicking
⦿ Right-hand muting techniques
⦿ How to slide into notes without fretting out
⦿ Slideless licks using bends, slides, and dynamics
⦿ Fingerstyle riffs over the minor pentatonic scale

Jake walks you through the full technique and then shows you a few licks you can use right away—plus, he’s got a free course that expands on this concept with more licks and tabs. You can grab that below. 👇
