sonhenry Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 depends on the style your talking about. there is some really good stuff out there and some real crap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tav Posted February 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Well could you give me some pointers towards the non-crap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeC Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Tav I never had you down as a blues man.....what got you interested in slide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonhenry Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Well could you give me some pointers towards the non-crap?yeah, no worries- there's a couple depending on the style you're interested in. the bob brozman series (3 dvd's in all) are excellent for the old delta slide on an acoustic guitar. the more modern stuff is really well covered in warren haynes' instructional types- real electric stuff in the duane allman vein. two good places to start, not knowing anything about the style you're interested in.but, if you've got a good ear, any of those tapes will get you started with the basics of the technique- it's the same, acoustic or electric. Or, there's always the George Thorogood method, "just turn it up and wail..."pm me- i teach too, and i'll dig for more good videos. really helps to watch someone close up.

Just to give my learning some direction. I've already tried the GT...method...Bad To The Bone...lots of distortion...wailing is fun for a while but I'd like to learn some real technique. .... da na na na na BADDD TO THE BONNNEEE!!!

It gets you into playing in standard tuning, plus open E and open G- which you *gotta* know, that's where all the fun is. If you work out whats in that video, you'll be able to start working things out from cd too. The others are either a mix of blues and slide, or more advanced. Once you've got the basics down anything here is fair game. good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
