Blues Slide Guitar Masterclass For Beginners

Aloha from Maui! I'm Jimmy Dillon, and in this extended lesson, I'm excited to share my insights on the basics of slide guitar. Here's what we'll cover:

???? How to choose the right slide and where to place it on your finger
???? Why guitar action and string gauge matter for slide playing
???? The crucial difference between floating and fretting with a slide
???? My tips for playing in tune and mastering muting techniques
???? Why I love open G tuning (especially for beginners)
???? Some simple licks and exercises to get you started
???? My "four T's" of great guitar playing: Touch, Tone, Time, and Taste

I'll also share stories about some of my favorite slide guitarists who've inspired me over the years, including Duane Allman, Derek Trucks, Ry Cooder, and David Lindley. You'll hear a bit about my musical journey, including my experiences playing with artists like Clarence Clemons and having some of the cats in The Robert Cray Band back me on my CDs.

Whether you're just picking up slide guitar or looking to refine your skills, I hope this lesson gives you some valuable tips and inspiration.
