In this acoustic guitar lesson, you'll dive into Available Space — a slide guitar instrumental originally by Ry Cooder and also famously interpreted by Leo Kottke. This tune is a masterclass in touch, tone, and phrasing, showcasing how much expression can be packed into a short, lyrical instrumental.

We’ll break down the open tuning used in the original (typically open D or open G), explore essential slide techniques like intonation, muting, and vibrato, and guide you through the melodic phrases that give the piece its signature feel. Whether you're following Cooder’s soulful, understated version or Kottke’s more rhythmic take, this lesson will sharpen your slide skills and expand your musical phrasing on acoustic guitar.

Perfect for intermediate to advanced players, Available Space is a great study in tone control, dynamics, and the artistry of playing melodically — without ever needing words.
