Bottleneck Slide Guitar Basics - Volume 1 - Open E Tuning

ÌTHANK YOU , FOR ALL THE INFO, FROM THE TYPES OF SLIDES, TO THE BETTER TUNINGS ( E ). AND THE GIBSON SG'S RAISING AND LOWERING OF STRINGS. THANKS AGAIN!!

Hey, thanks this is just what I needed to get myself goin' with slide guitar, great era, great lessons.

Best lesson on the fundamentals and basics of slide guitar.

I have 4 Duane Allman slides, made from one of Duane Allman's Coricidin bottles. Learned so much from Warren Haynes.

You are a fantastic teacher, thank you so much!!!

Chris Rea is also a great slide player who uses open E. Great lesson. Thanks

Just what I’ve been wanting to see. I have my Dot tuned to E, so now I have a teacher🤠🤠

Nice lesson, I play both Lap Steel and bottle neck slide. I picked up some great tips, thanks!

Nice tone, perfect for slide.

Great video…I tune to open D, however I will try Open E. The Rock Slide is awesome in regards to sound and comfortable fit (Pinky)!

Fantastic thanks 🙏

Hey Troy, try a JET SLIDE. You can get it on Musicians Friend and Reverb. I had one, going to get another. It has a Ring for your Finger, then a Brass Bar, but you can get it with Glass on the Front edge as well. It has a little TAB that you can use your other Finger to Hold in place when playing, but you can also play Chords when Not using the Slide. Also, I got this, DIP, a kind of Rubber Goop, and I Dipped, just the Ring PART Into the Goop, about, 3 or 4 Times, to Create a Softer Barrier for the Ring, as it's metal. It worked VERY WELL. I think the Ring size was a little Large for my Finger, so it really Helped.

Great lesson….thankyou😊

LovE your videos thank you sir

Prefer slide open at both ends, can get very sweaty in there after a while if one end is closed. Great vid, thanks Troy!

What a great lesson. The Rolling Stones and Joni Mitchell used Open E without the slide. I prefer Open D with a capo on the second fret when I am not playing slide because your tuning down. But for slide, Open E is preferred and Open G. Thank you for this lesson. Duane Allman was one of the great slide players. You need higher grade strings because your tuning up and don’t want them breaking. But It adds some tension to the neck.

Thanks for being.

I use a blue crackle finish ceramic slide which i find really nice not sure of make

I wear my slide on my pinky finger also and I have both metal and glass.
