  • Nice tone! Is that a epiphone sg-400? Im getting that guitar sometime soon.

  • 61 Gibson SG Reissue. It's a fine guitar.

  • that is the best slide tone ever, what are you playing through?

  • Fender Pro Junior on 12!

  • Mute with your right hand palm when raking to avoid all the unwanted string noise. It takes some good timing to get it to sound natural.

  • Not very high. Just enough to keep the string from buzzing. It's takes a lighter touch of the slide to the string when they're not real high. Go to my blog for some more tips learningguitarnowdotcom/blog

  • @nirvanafreak1294 Did you really think that a grown man who makes his living playing guitar would be playing an Epiphone fake SG in his videos?

  • great vid, tons o' riffs. thank you!

    imo the best way to learn this is listening. if your looking for tips its all there.

  • Great tone. Great playing. Great vid.

  • how do you mute the lower strings with the rake? ;)

  • E-B-E-G♯-B-E

    or

    D-A-D-F♯-A-D (lower open D)

    same thing essentially

  • 1,2,3,4,5,6 = from tiny string to fat string, EBG#EBE. Also, you can play in any Key in Open E tuning but you might not be able to play the string Open, which isnt a big deal if you have an SG but for a resonator or acoustic playing in all of the keys on open E can be more restrictive.

  • Check out his tone video, but I am sure he plays with bass and treble around 5, but he boosts his mids to like 6.5. For reverb, you do not want like a petal reverb, use the one on the amp, but very, very lightly so its almost unnoticeable, like 1.5. For gain, its really up to you but I keep mine around 7 I like the crunchy distortion you can get from sliding like Derek trucks

  • Could you please tell what settings to use o my amp to get that sound i.e. Bass, Treble, Middle, Reverb & Gain? Thanks

  • Tight video man. Thanks!
