Dude, it's good EXCEPT for the foundation. You're calling out random notes for the tuning. Put a correction in or you'll frustrate beginners--The second string you're tuned to A (not B), the first string you're tuned to D (not A).

You can edit this video with notes somehow.

[TheMfmccarthy]

@bluesismc Yeah, that's a pretty major mistake. Good catch.

He has the voice of a Narration God!

[VentureTact]

Where is the DOCTOR!?!?

[DrIceFlims]

haha my names matt smith too!!!

[MrGoonies360]

Name of the brand of that guitar it is truely amazing

[daddariostrings]

@MrGoonies360 That is an Ovation Guitar.

[ajpmalloy]

@MrGoonies360 It is an Admas guitar. That is Ovations high end guitars. They use a carbon fiber top instead of a wood top. It is really resonant because it is so thin and strong.

I'll never forget the time I saw you play the hell out of 6 or seven different instruments during a single song at Tiger's Pub, oh, and that time you jammed with Dimeola at that Ovation demo/

this is cool i just started playing slide yesterday and before i was watching this i was " man if ijust use an l shape everywhere i kinda sound like i know what im doing" cool to find out that it's an actual technique/lesson this guy gives

[aleksandersucharski]

this man is.. credilble. i really trust in what he says.

[THEhooligan6911]

That "L" shaped thing changed my life, no joke

[ddaavvee2796]

mtm guitar?

[spinlizard1]

Fantastic tutorial Matt. Learned more in 5 mins watching you than I have in 5 years of trying to learn slide. Thank you so much for posting this vid.

[bevanmcg]

Matt what is that guitar - Its got the most awesome sound for slide - I would never thought one of these ovation type guitars would have such awesome slide tone !!

[frost0813]

Infinite possabilities for being out of tune, Sounds like a great detourant for MOST hacks. Great lesson and very well presented. Self taught guitar players have taught me most of what I know. I taught me the rest, and now you have helped as well. THANKS.

[zionJeon]

i was looking at my tuner when he was talking about the two strings we all know..thought the tuner was broken XD

[bjfsville]

L- Shape...

well done Maestro!

[Vidade0tario]

DADF#AD

[jcordeiro69]

so boring

[craigrandle]

I think he meant open D tuning, I busted my high E string on round neck dobro trying to tune the 1st st6ring to A, I? assumed he knew what he was doing. Getting new strings later today,

[tamupino]

Fuckin A. You just made my night Matt. Keep Rockin'

[timuralee]

Matt you are the man!

[jmitc1]

cool lesson, even when you play already, thanks

[zapwai]

Yeah, I think he meant DADF#AD. (For some reason he wasn't paying attention and said the top two were B and A.)

Awesome lesson, this guy is great and really funny.

[donwintermute]

Dude/Matt! You so Rock! I've done a bit of slide through the years but really getting into it full force now!  God Bless Ya! I can tell you have a passion for this.

[Faazzz]

"And obviously we need to have a turnaround. Otherwise you can never end your blues and you have to play it over and over again, beggin' your friends to kill you." This guy is tha shizzle!

[2muchsmoke]

dig it thank you matt!

[ianisc00lio]

i think he messed up explaining the tuning. the 2nd string is tuned down to A (he said 'tuned down to B') and then 1st string tuned down to D (he said 'tuned down to A')

[JamKiller94]

is he the guy who played with poison?

[guitrr]

@JamKiller94 Yeah, he plays even more killer when wearing leather pants.

[dirtystrings]

What a cool guy,awesome lessons! Thank you Matt!

[71LCC]

[00bean00]

His voice is awesome!

This sounded like an ad---"'Cause you've gotta love vibrato!"

[JerkyChid]

Hound Dog used his pinky, the 6ths finger was too short
