tips for slide in open G

[gorpusasasa]

I NEED FRENCH SUBTITLES !!!!

[TomHunterUK]

Very clear instruction and nice & slowly done! (If you can't do it slow,.... you can't do it!

[Hoopermazing]

Slide on the FU finger... interesting.

[bigjimmyrocker]

awesome bro.... 

[guitardude671]

Whats better a glass slide or metal slide? or does it just come down to personal preference?

[Hoopermazing]

@guitardude671 It's personal preference... as is which Open tuning you use and which finger you put the bottleneck on. However, IMO, glass sounds much much better on an electric guitar.

[guitardude671]

@Hoopermazing thanks for the info

I wear the slide on my middle finger too. It allows for more control while still allowing a decent span with the index and ring fingers. Everyone needs to find what works best for them, of course. Great tone here. If you can, check "Rosetta West - Underground" for some good slide guitar blues.

[mjdp1978]

will try the slide on the middle finger!

[villagevidiot1]

It's a good lesson. Explained well and played the same. Just bought a reso so it helped a lot.

[21ReMix21]

[lostintheblues]

When you go to the 4th chord, I noticed you use the slide on your middle finger. I play with mine on my pinky - which makes playing that your way pretty impossible (for me at least). - Any suggestions?

[lauramacton]

@inefficient Try the ring finger... If you use a Csus4 chord on open G sliding between 12th, 5th and 3rd, using a basic up-down strumming rythm you get a pretty good sound.

[Hoopermazing]

@inefficient With the slide on your pinky, you can play minor, Dim 7th chords etc... "BEHIND" the slide. I thought that I made that up, but apparently some dude named Sonny Landreth has been doing it for years.

[THEDOORSFAN405]

[wesmatron]

LOL I'm laughing at how well you explained that. You turned a light on in my head. You're an awesome teacher.

[jordao420]

I thought I was the only one who uses the slide in this finger...

[morrizadoniz]

hey you my dear far away, greetings from germany ... ! just learned some different (additional) slides from you ...

ok, I bougth oen year before a fender FR-48, first I tuned her to Open A, but too much banjo sound, then i dropped her down to open G - PERFECT !!!

[haazy34]

Dude, great video, watched it a year ago, tuned one of my acoustics to open g and let the fun begin, I just bought a Fennder Resonator the other day & I'm really enjoying it. This video was the best one to teach me my basics, Thanks so much!!

[neil2381]

very good lesson, I have been looking at a few beginner slide lessons and this has been the best so far, thanks for sharing, will have my slide and guitar out later. 5 stars.

[animalmother4]

[rqzeal]

THanks man, good show. I learned some good licks.

[SPRUTH1154]

Great lesson.Thanks for the tips.

[ajbgibsonlespaul]

what is the brand of this guitar ???

[lostintheblues]

epiphone

[ajbgibsonlespaul]

good teacher :P :)

[lostintheblues]

thanks

[lockofthedeath]

Are Glass slides really better then the steel ones? dont they break like really fast?

[lostintheblues]

they only break if you drop it...

a lot of people prefer bronze or metal slides for electric though

[lockofthedeath]

Thanks mate, i tuned my guitar to open G and finally started enjoying playing with the slide!

[shal0mnurh0me]

thanks helped me alot

[Smadlin01]

Hey, great vid helped alot, im about to buy a Vintage AmG1, that looks like one, is it one?

[lostintheblues]

that's just a standard epiphone

[NikitaHF7]

Спасибо

[thesurgicalmonster]

Good on ya champ...some sweet tips. Thanks!

[SSwadis]

Sweet! Even though I'm in a slightly different version of G, big help and some good ideas. I"m sounding more Delta already. Thanks!

[martind28zico]

what brand your guitar that you playing?

[mythikyle]

sweet idea where the pinky sticks to the 1st string 5 fret while you run down on what looks like the third string with 1st finger,really sounds old blues..is there any other kind....great vid

[WHEREtheFUNK]

very cool. I am "considering" a dobro and dedicating to this style with it. I have three guitars that are kind of dedicated to our church band where we play mostly standard tuning simple stuff.

[ManshedTV]

Thanks a lot. Easy to grab hold of for a novice like me.

[lostintheblues]

I'm glad some of you are finding this video useful, maybe I will post some more like this. I was very surprised to see almost ten thousand views!

My guitar is a standard Epiphone Steel made about two years ago.

[trk1050]

what king of guitar are you playing? Sounds great. I have an Original Hound dog Dobro (wood body) with fishman pick up im trying to trade for a decent tri cone or a good metal body.

[Goatboy44spl]

Very helpful thank you.

[CharDarwin]

This is great. Thanks a lot. I bought an old 1966 Stella Harmony today for $75.00. The frets are all worn down and it has scuffs and marks all over it (Beutiful). You can tell someone put many, many hours in learning to play on this guitar. The only problem is the action is so high now it's really hard to play. Still has a nice tone, so it's perfect for slide playing. 'course i've barely played slide at all. Your video will really help me get going on it. Much appreciated

[cachaeloyo]

lets chat

[wehappyfewmusic]

Really useful tips, i've now got a far better idea of starting to play slide - Thanks!

[arcadiandj]

Very educational and helpful, but also very entertaining to watch.

[MissouriTiger]

Thank you, thank you! Watching this for the second time. I am really grateful for these tips. I hope I will be able to paly as well as you one day. -Greg

[Rubydoobiedee]

thanks for your tips...appreciated!
