This beginner lesson will look at how to play the strings with your right hand fingers. Using your fingers instead of a pick will give you more control over which notes can heard and for how long. Then we'll look at the left hand and discuss how to wear the slide, vibrato, and other techniques.

  • This was really clear and concise. Loved how he talks about the actual technique and what his fingers are trying to do rather than "here's a lick, watch and play!"

  • This guy should be in the Sopranos.

    He should also give me that guitar... :)

  • hey finally some progress. i have been trying to figure out how to get such clean sound with a slide (cut copper pipe, oh well) for a while now. now I no not to use a pick. thank you so much

  • youtube.com/watch?v=RsNZ4FHvVO­w This is probably a bad example, since Slash is just fantastic at everything he does. But he DOES play with a slide and a pick, not with his fingers. Just making a point :P
