You will start by learning how to play on just one string but by the end you will be moving around all the strings and up and down the neck.

You’ll find out how to play in ‘G open tuning’, learn some great sounding Blues licks as well as learning a classic Delta Blues tune.

You’ll be getting to grips with fundamental finger picking technique so you can play bass and melody together.

And most importantly, you’ll develop crucial techniques like vibrato and ‘double muting’ which are the things that will set you up to sound like a pro.

Never played slide before? Don’t worry. This course will take you from the absolute basics (like which finger to put the slide on) to playing and improvising across the whole fretboard and all the strings. You’ll be able to take the ideas and then make them your own and really have fun playing.

A lot more than meets the eye goes into playing slide Guitar – but a little knowledge and some tips and tricks will go a long way in helping you on your journey.

The lessons are set out in a logical progression route. You will master one idea before moving on to the next and you can go through the lessons as slowly or as quickly as you like. You will develop the skills you need to sound great and avoid the most common mistakes people make when they first try slide Guitar.
