At last, someone gave me an easy way to fingerpick. I had to relearn how to play completely when I had a stroke in 2010. I did alright on the relearn with everything but fingerpicking. Never could get the hang of it with all fingers. So now im gonna try your way for a while, Chuck man. And I like the fact that you play slide with a flat pic too. Thats how I play now. Kudos, brother!!

Tuned to open G and made a slide out of a canning lid and have been messing around for days. Got the blues scale down a little bit but I never knew I only had to press down very lightly. Also didnt know to go onto the fret wire! It makes a huge difference! This is exactly the information I needed, thanks for the lesson!!

This is how I am spending my two weeks shut in. I haven't played for more than 30 years. This makes me think I could do it again. Thanks.

Thank you! I've been trying for years to learn slide and totally failing. In one 14 minute video you showed me everything I've been doing wrong. Hopefully, with a little time, I can get past my old habits and finally succeed.

You have my unending gratitude!

Finally!! A nice, easy to grasp Open G & Slide Basics for the average player. I’ve watched a few others and your lesson made the “light bulb” go off over my head... Gotta hit the store and get me a slide. Thanks for keeping it simple, relevant and offering some easy exercises.

Slide guitar is great fun and great ear training.Takes minutes to get into but a lifetime to master. Great video, thanks.

I've been trying to learn guitar since I retired at 60 a few years ago and have progressed to knowing some open Chords by watching Youtube videos. I can even play a tune or two but have always felt there must be more than just playing on the first three frets. It has got a bit boring to be honest. Last night I watched an interview with '' Sea Sick Steve '' who said '' Tune your guitar to find a sound that sounds good to you then just play what you want'' Today I've found this video of yours and BINGO !!! My guitar sounds so much better tuned to '' G '' I can now play what I like just by '' Ear '' and will learn how to play '' Slide ''as well. You Sir are a Genius. Wish I had found you years ago. God Bless you.

What a great intro to G tuning. I intend to give it a go as I've never been able to get regular tuning to sound good with slide. Thanks.
