Thank you so much for watching everybody, I’m blown away by the response to this one!! But once again a bot account has been created in my name, if an account with my picture replies “let’s talk” or something similarly sketchy on your comment, please ignore or report it.
I learnt/still learning "I Fought Piranhas" by The White Stripes as my first slide song. I recommend it to anyone reading this.
Can you do a playlist o something with more beginner slide song?
Man this was such a great tutorial.very clear and easy to understand and made a lot of sence . I’ve been playing open D for years and I’m very excited to grab a slide and see where that leads . This video was the perfect start I needed and has explained everything that a slide beginner should know . Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge I’m very appreciative????
Perfect starting slide video!!! Thanks again Dylan! ????????
Really enjoyed this interesting video
The intro was ☢
WOW, amazing
Thanks Dylan. Much appreciate you man!
Thank you! Excellent video! ????????????????
Is that an actual ‘61 sg?
This is exactly what I was looking for. Subscribed man ????????
My slide playing sucks bag where as normal playing is all good and blues licks for days, but always wanted to figure out slide properly this was first vid to appear.
Was interested in playing slide in standard tuning as when gig with my band both my Les Paul and Strat are in standard tuning. But I get tuning to open chords then playing slide is much easier to get down.
Have you seen Roy Rogers play….is he using a pick?
Great lesson Dylan, thanks so much.????????
Thank you!
Great intro to slide Dylan. I've been playing for 45+ years and only dabbled blindly a couple of times unsuccessfully. This is is a big help!
Pinky has been hurting my hand
Dylan, thanks so much for these videos. I decided for myself I want to setup my SG as dedicated slide (but also still will play fingered notes, solos, etc. so not JUST slide) guitar and am considering moving away from round wound strings to help with getting rid of unwanted noise that happens even when I have muted other strings and is solely for o, slide on the ridged stings. Any thoughts?
Very helpful video thanks
Nicely done Dylan.
Can you show how to tune to Open D? I may have missed it, so apologies ahead of time. Thanks for your help,
i have that same slide in this vid at 4:00
Liked and subscribed. ❤ thank you.
I’m a self taught wanna be guitarist and after watching this vid I’m going out to a music center and try and find a couple of “pinky fitting” slides like you’ve demonstrated.
Thanks for sharing. What a gift! Appreciate your kind offering. (I’ll gift back. $)
