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

    Great video Keni, one of the best tutotials on Youtube. I always wanted to learn to play slide guitar and you make it so easy, thank you so much. Do you know how to play Seasick Steve’s “Never Go West” or “Thunderbird” ? I just heard them a couple of days ago and can’t get them out of my head.

    thanx dude…nice vid

    @FRIVDSCH Thank you for your question. Possible solutions: strings too light, action too low, slide too heavy/big, not muting the strings with left index finger. I hope this helps. Enjoy your practice, Keni Lee

  20. FRIVDSCH says:

    He man! I got one question, whenever I put my slide on my strings it’ll already makes a hammer-on sound…. how can I prevent that from happening??(I just got my slideXD) Any tips aswell??

  21. KeniLeeBurgess says:

    @reservaimoral Thank you for your question. I am wearing a Golden Gate extra heavy thumb pick and on my index and middle finger, I am wearing National metal finger picks. I hope this answers your question. Enjoy.

  22. reservaimoral says:
