Tips for Playing Slide in Standard Tuning | Tom Strahle | Pro Guitar Secrets
#slideguitar #learnslideguitar #basicguitar
This is a follow up lesson to “10 Tips for Slide Beginners” where I give you some tips on how to play slide in standard, EADGBE, tuning. I really like playing slide in standard tuning because I can just pick a slide at a gig or in a recording session and add some slippery goodness to the moment and then go right back to playing with the fingers without having to think too much or retune.

Sorry I messed up the I-vi-VI-V, I said IV and played V and said V and played IV. And I say "mkay" too much haha.
How’s do you dampen the strings with the right hand and do you dampen the strings In front of the slide?
Don
Noel WOW!!
Thank you.
Great breakdown!
Great lesson, thank you.
Could you say what gauge of strings you are using there?
sounds like george harrison!
cool goodjob…I was wondering what effects your using to get your sound…Bill
Cheers!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing
NICE,,,,new to u! is this guitar set up for slide? meaning thick strings high action?? or can you get this with standard action and just 10 gauge strings??? thanks!
Thank you … very clever aproach!!!
Great video! Definitely had a couple light bulbs turn on
Sounds amazing! I’m trying to learn slide and finding really difficult. It’s amazing you you get so used to fretting behind a fret and how different it is when you have to place the slide over the fret. Your muscle memory wants to argue with your brain ???? I clearly lasso have to improve my theory knowledge :/
Thank you so much for offering tips for playing slide in standard tuning. I've looked at several videos, but I like yours best because you actually give scale options. Any advise for learning how to mute strings, i.e., where to place fingers? I'm trying to learn this on my own. Slide is so technical and challenging, but it sounds so sweet.
Muy bueno
Great info in here!
What a remarkable video! You've done a great job finding melodic components on the fretboard I'd never thought of. I got lost for a few hours exploring these ones and fives all over the neck.
I've been playing for sixty years and learned more in those few hours than the last five years.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I have been looking for this lesson for a long time, thank you
Re minor thirds … start tilting your slide (easier if you wear it on ring or second finger but still doable using pinky – and it gets easier as you go up the neck). I use minor 3rd interval all the time on b and g strings. Also slanting works great on skip string voicings (e.g. transform your 12th fret G chord using B, G, D strings to a C chord by moving it up one fret and slanting (and skip the G string)) . And if you are more adventuresome you can get a full triad with root on the bottom using D, G, and B stings. And don't forget behind the slide fingering a la Sony Landreth. That takes possibilities to a whole new level. Both for leads and chords.
What’s the advantage of wearing the slide on the pinky finger? Does it matter much which finger you choose?
This is an awesome lesson mate. Thank you
Hi Tim. I’ve been playing slide in open tunings for years and just changing to standard. I’d like to get some behind the slide fretting under my belt. Is this something that you can do?
If so how about a video??
Cheers
Peter (from Spain)
I've been playing slide in standard tuning forever. This is the best explanation I've ever seen. I wish I would have had this resource back then. Great vid
Nicely done. Very clear and well explained without falling into talking most of the video. Thanks.
Learning that harmonised scale is the first time standard tuning slide has started to work for me -and I've had a few attempts. Thanks!
Fantastic video, great ideas.
Great slide lesson. I wanted to stay in standard tuning but felt I was sacrificing so much. You've shown me some great tricks for standard tuning. Thank you SO much!
That trick with major and minor thirds is awesome
Keep them coming… this was a fantastic lesson! I liked the onscreen visual of the intervals as well.
Thanks!
Man that sounds awesome, excellent lesson
Super helpful! Love to see some follow up videos on standard slide!
Thank you for demystifying it all! Picking up a slide tomorrow. Have played for many years and have always been intimidated by slide. Thank you so much!!
Yup- much easier to play slide in standard tuning. Just look for the two/three note chord shapes throughout the neck. Tried to angle the slide for two note licks a la pentatonic boxes, but harder to play clearly. Chord shapes he's showing are great. Good job!!!
How do i like this more than once!? Fantastic! Great for me as a beginner to slide wanting to play in standard tuning.
