Brief Introduction
An Introduction to Slide Guitar Playing TechniqueDescription
Increase the variety of your guitar playing by using a slide! If you already have some ability to play a steel-string guitar, this course will explain the basic principles and technique of using a slide instead of frets. Whether your destination is folk, blues or rock, the knowledge you gain in this course will equip you to begin exploring the eclectic world of slide guitar.
Ten concise lessons cover topics such as different types of slides, the way string action affects your ability to play slide, the role of the left thumb, muting techniques for a better tone, and more. Several exercises are also demonstrated. All of the video segments are presented with clarity and are uniquely optimized for you, the learner, to have the best point of view.
Dave Matthis is an experienced slide guitar player who has played semi-professionally in numerous musical groups over three decades. He also is an experienced professional in the development of instructional video.
