BOTTLENECK SLIDE GUITAR is based on an early one string folk instrument called the Diddley-Bow, and the traditional playing style of Hawaiian Guitar. The early Blues Masters of the 1920s and 30s, would place a bottleneck from a wine bottle, or a short piece of metal pipe on their finger. Using this as a slide, they could move up and down along the strings of a guitar imitating singing or the cries and moans of the human voice. This style uses an early method of tuning the guitar called open tuning, that is also used to play banjo. The guitar is tuned to a D or E chord, that actually makes it easier to learn music theory. The course starts with learning to play single note melody lines on one string. Next, by adding a second note harmony is created. Then a third note creates chords. The final song is embellished by adding strumming techniques and bottleneck slide.

THIS CD WILL NOT ONLY TEACH YOU HOW TO PLAY BOTTLENECK GUITAR, BUT HOW TO CREATE AND ARRANGE SONGS.

The Blues songs presented on this cd are in the style of Robert Johnson, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Tommy Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, Howlin' Wolf, and Muddy Waters .Traditional Country Gospel songs are also taught because they were a major influence in the development of the Blues.

@briguy10001 Thank you for your comment. The value of vintage resonators has dramatically dropped off over the years with the production of high quality reproductions from National Resophonic guitars and an influx of low end imported guitars from Asia. I own a few vintage instruments. Although, I like them a lot, the cost to refurbish them is rather expensive. A new instrument may not be as romantic, but their overall performance it much better. Enjoy.

I teach the two basic Delta tunings, Open D an G, and then compare the two tunings to uncover the mystery between them. Very reasonably priced. Please feel free to write if you have further questions. Enjoy
