yeah
all right how's it going people all this
is jennifer gamble and with next level
guitar com
and i'm here to show you just the basics
of some slide guitar
for me personally I i picked a glass
slide I like the way it sounds I think
I'm there
you got your choice eating glass and
metal slides
both are good metal slides don't break
and shatter like glass ones which has
happened to me before bed i like the
sound of the glass slide if you guys are
I think it has a warmer sound than the
metal slide I think the metal slide is a
little bit more tinny and aluminum
sounding so i picked a glass slide
they have to come in all sizes so you
got to make sure you get one that fits
your finger which finger do you use
usually don't use your first finger you
want to keep that free to play chords
and things
some people use the middle finger not
very many but some do Joe Walsh ease his
middle finger and that Lisa's his third
and fourth fingers free and his first
finger to play chords a lot of players
both popular is to play it on your third
finger and you know you can play always
player your power cords with your your
pinky finger and your first finger first
personally I played on my on my pinky
finger because it's my weakest finger
and you don't it doesn't require a lot
of strength to place my guitar and it
doesn't require any strength at all
really or any dexterity
so I use my pinky finger because that
leaves my strong fingers free to play
other solos and other chords basically
you want to find a slide is going to fit
your finger
the one you want to play it on and not
fall off and just stay there so i picked
a slim one
this may not be fat and it's easy to to
rest over the frets and when you first
start playing slide the the main thing
you want to remember is you don't press
down with the slide you just you're
basically just going to rest it over the
strings
not pressing down using any pressure
loading
I even keep my son out of the way if you
notice my thumb isn't when I play slide
when I plates slide leads
my thumb is out here with the rest of my
fingers and it just leave my my slide
free to flow wherever life
well I mean that the cool thing to do is
get a an actual like ask glass aspirin
bottle and you know i got was wearing
all when you and you can go on
believe it or not when i when i
shattered my my class when I needed it
for a gig and yet i ended up trying a
beer bottle because i thought well that
would be really cool if I could go up
and use a beer bottle on stage so you
know I had to dump the excess liquid out
night i got my beer bottle figured I
couldn't hold it this way so i ended up
pulling it this way and didn't work to
watch the way too wide you know for the
for the frets
so I ended up going in the back and
point out my my lipstick case and I I
pulled out the tube from my lipstick
container which is I think plastic but
it fit around my finger and I was able
to use that as a slide and I've actually
heard of other guitar players doing that
before so that it actually got that I
think I got that idea from alex lifeson
I'm i don't remember exactly who use
that the first time but i know i read
that some are you
so when you come to to play in the slide
you want to play on strings were you can
play one or two or three notes together
because you're basically stuck in this
position you want to you want to be you
don't have your slide perpendicular to
the neck of the guitar and horizontal
with the fret so here's your friend you
want your side right there an exact
parallel with the fret and in fact you
want to be pretty much on top of the
fret when you play your notes
you don't want to be behind the frak are
going to little get a little twin - you
don't wanna be in front of them
the notes are going to be off so you
wanna be right on there and you know
when to press down serious
you know you're just touching the string
with the slide
so here you're playing
I'm just playing right on top of that
threat at the 5th fret
listen if I slide down a little bit
maybe how it off you may be right on top
of that fret playing the two middle
strings right here
if I slide up a little bit off
ok so you want to be right on that fret
you don't wanna be angled got bad notes
again
ok so you want to be right in parallel
with your frets
yeah
yeah
got that we go to be in the ie the be in
the high E string you're going to all
the way up to the 12th fret here to
start on the tenth fret and slide up
you're going to move it over to the be
in the East rings and you're going to
you know play with some some aggression
and just start on the tenth fret and
slide up right up to the tip 12th fret
let's do it real slow okay its exact
same roof just on different strings
going to be everything else except for
your be in your high E
okay with your right hand and wrist sore
paw mirror and pluck your b string
you're going to start with the B string
on the tenth fret and slide up so tight
up on the b-side up from the 10th fret
12 and hit your e
when you get up to that 12th fret you
might want to check that with your pick
up pick or you could hold do a
full-court
I don't recommend going down to it up a
pic so fighting up from the 10th fret to
the 12 on the B string put that up pick
on your high E and then go from there
lift your slide off the neck mute your
strings
press it back down where he started on
the 10 12 on the tenth fret and then
just do that fucking down two times
on the third time slide up
got that so it will be something like
this
ok so you can practice that with the
riff go from the riff
yeah
how do you know
ok
