Derek Trucks MUST KNOW Open E Slide Licks

[darcykelly]

Yeah ok count me in.I've been drooling over SG's for a long time after playing a Resonator now I'm nearly in position to get one and now I see this brilliant little vid which leads to a place I want to be in for the foreseeable future.

I started in open A and then my mind was opened up when I tuned to open E. You can play very smoothly in both E and D... often times C.

The very first riff he teaches you, if you can get that down comfortably... you're already on a roll. You'll see.

Awesome lesson and playing. Thanks for sharing!

[johnpowell]

Open D tends to loosen the strings . E gives a little more resistance.

[westvalleyjunction]

Fabulous! Thanks for putting this all together! It's great.

Just got an Sg the other day....I got an idea now :)

[baltazarrico]

What’s the BPM on that backing track? And any tips on tone settings?

[cincinnatipedalsteel]

So I play pedal steel, Dobro and lap steel but want to add bottleneck playing to my arsenal. What are some good guitars to use to get the SG sound Derek gets in the $600-$1000 range?

[brucenlittlepictures]

When cranking your amp, do you use an attenuator to keep the volume lower or do you just crank it up loud?

[musicalgear]

Its funny to me. All these "Derek" how to videos yet none that I have found has had anything resembling Derek Trucks' licks.

[PortableHayzuse]

Hey! Is that still that slide you bought from ebay?

[Hiram]

Lads, Paul Kirwan here, best slide player in Ireland. Lol. Listen up, the buck in the video is correct. I have all my guitars tuned to open E. I can play in any key using this tuning, plus as the positions on the neck are similar to standard, another guitarist can follow along. You can also play minor chords by fretting behind the slide. Check me out on Facebook for more facemelting slide playing.!!

I don't wanna break a string, see ya

[soundknight]

Sounds like a cranked tweed deluxe with a TS?

[stevetautog]

if you chose to teach us a song in OPEN E then what is the reason why you just did not use OPEN D

[johnnydearman]

Wait you said you gota play alot of licks to keep it interesting sorry sir uh ya don't because I can put my strat on the neck pickup and play pentatonic scales very slow that will reach in and grab your soul dude but your correct on the "if you wanna sound them yes play alot of licks🥴 happy slide

I'll take "who is Derek Truck" for $100, Jack.
