This song always brings back a specific memory. My first apartment... I had friends over for some beers and this song came on the radio. We were inebriated so we started singing "Row Slide" (instead of Slow Ride) and laughing hysterically. Inevitably... I think of that every time I hear this tune. In any case... it's a fun tune to play. You're 100% right about that audience head bop.
Okay, replying to my own comment is a little weird but I want to get entered to win that ukulele. LOL. You lived next to Bob Trowe as a kid.
Shane your university videos are currently the best foundational lessons going ! Nice and easy to follow, perfect speed for all players. I'm always amazed at how many CBG builders can't play a lick.. Well here is their chance ! Three lessons so far that are building on fundamentals. Glad you aren't sending everybody to patrion for the FULL lesson.
Will support the channel with one of your awesome jack knife slides ! Waiting for Friday now like a kid waits for Christmas ! Love C.B.Gitty and your University lessons....and that Gittybucker !!! Boston Mike
Keep them coming Shane! Love these blues tutorials 👍🏻
I've ordered a 'Skully' and am buzzing inside, I cannot wait to show it off!!
When I was a kid,a guy named Floyd Link ran the Skelly station. Flattop haircut and a Foghat button on his shirt. Now my wife says I need a Stubby Slide and she needs a slow ride.
I imagine you had a great time knowing Bob Trove who played Bob Dog,but you make this difficult for an old blind man such as I. Thankfully I see a bit and my ears and fingers are excellent!
Bob Trowe. I’ve owned your T-shirt for many years. Thanks for watering my passion for cigar box guitars
Great Lesson! Back in 78' when Life had it's own soundtrack that played in my head and I ran the 2 mile on the high school track team - this song would start about lap 6 and taught me how to push through the hard laps. To this day, at 59, it still pops into my head and is helping me to run farther while getting the rhythm right! Thanks for the Great Lesson!
Thank you once again Shane, Bob Trowe "Bob Dog" from Mr. Rogers' Neighbor was your neighbour when you were a youngster.
I have loved this song since I saw Boston in 1975!
You are an awesome teacher. You remind me a lot of Adam Gussow the great Harmonica player from Mississippi. He has alot of TH-cam videos. He teaches alot like you!!
Jammin this tune around the circle at the local skate rink as a teen. What fun!!!! Bob Trowe “Bob Dog” from Mr. Rogers Neighborhood in Mr. Speals Next Door Neighborhood.
Another great lesson at the perfect pace for me. Thanks. Bob Trowe "Bob Dog" from Mr. Rogers' Neighbor was your neighbor when you were a kid.
Another great lesson Shane! Your childhood neighbor was Bob Trowe who played “Bob Dog” on Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood. BE Well!!!
I really enjoy and learn with your videos at the 3 strings that i make. I did not know anything about music, but now i can scratch sounds at my 3 strings!!!! Thank you
Bob Trowe. Love the blues-rock lessons.
I love how your shirt looks like it is strumming at approximately 9:30. Great lesson. Thanks
Go Shane go. You pick the right Jams!
And I for one am certainly grateful for my first semester at Speal Blues University
thank you ! now i have cigarbox guitar and i have a fun !
I love Foghat, too! Great lesson, Shane! That's cool your childhood neighbor was Bob Trow. I watched Mr. Rogers Neighborhood growing up and I remember Bob Dog!
Bob Trowe lived in Mr. Speals Neighborhood! Great lesson as always, thanks!
Bob Trowe.....keep up the great work on teaching us the cigar box guitar
Another winner of a lesson. I too, am a fan of Foghat.👍
When you were a kid you lived next door to Bob Trowe who played "Bob Dog" on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. That's cool and explains some of who you are!
Thanks for another great lesson. Very fun that you lived next door to Bob Trowe.
One of my favorite songs.. I got the honor to meet and greet foghat back in the day. Thanks Shane for putting this out there. Bob Trowe played Bob Dog.
It is so cool that you live next to Bob Trowe from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. This lesson was slowed down so well that I was able to find a method of using my thumb to mute while playing one handed. I can get the rhythm down just trying to get the riff filled out to complete the song now. Thank you Shane Speal for another great lesson.
Great tip about having your finger behind the slide Shane - sounds so much better. Thanks for that 👍
Fun song to jam and a great lesson, I can see some ZZ Top coming in the future.
Oooooh!!!
Thanks for the lesson! I saw Foghat in concert in 1977! It was my first concert attendance! I haven’t thought of it in years. Thanks for the flashback!
Thanks for rocking the Cigarbox Guitar and all your lessons Shane. I'm just a biginner but you are making this fun and easy to learn. Who says you can't teach an old Foghat new tricks. Keep the videos coming.
Cool lesson Shane. Bob Trowe is the answer for the competition, but Shane Speal is the answer for improving my playing! Thanks again. The Force is strong in this one.
Dazed and confused always comes to mind when I hear this song. Thanks for this one.
This lessons is good for beginners to even those who have played for awhile. Lot of us old folks remember well growing up hearing this song. Maybe we also remember Bob the Dog played by Bob Trowe on Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.
Another great lesson Shane! Thank you for taking time to explain and demonstrate the chug with the right hand. Your explanation is very helpful. I need to get my stubby slide on order! Also, Foghat....one of the best names for a band ever!
Another really cool lesson. Many thanks.
Cheers, Shane K.
Great song. Great lessons. Keep 'em coming former neighbor to Bob Trowe / "Bob Dog" on Mister Roger's Neighborhood.

These videos have been the best way for me to learn so many songs and techniques. thanks again Shane!
Love the intro! Smiles for miles. Cool lesson too :)
Nice !! Love the lessons as I am currently learning !!
Another barnstormer Shane, gotta detune my box and give this a try. So you're trivia answer is Bob Trowe and as a tidbit of personal trivia I took slight exception at you asking why I hadn't bought your book, I do own it and the one alongside it too! I have everything ready to build a Shane Spiel stompbox, just need to get at it lol
great one, so much fun to play that..
This was a great video to find on the channel after getting off work today. Thank you.
Hi Shane, yet another excellent video and it’s obvious from comments that people are really appreciating the time you’re taking and the delivery and style of the lessons. You are an excellent teacher and these videos are making quite a difference to myself and many others. Looking forward to future installments.
Gary
Another awesome lesson. You have definitely made the journey of learning to play enjoyable. Keep them coming. I count on them to keep me on track.
love this song
I appreciate the alternative tuning. I am a Noob so each step is a learning experience. Thanks Shane. Blues University is sure a lot more fun than my "other" university was. It is great that you lived near Bob Trowe in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe.
No! Your voice is fine! Thank you.
Thank you for another great lesson
Awesome lesson! And you lived nextdoor to Bob Trowe from Mr Rogers Neighborhood.
Bob Trowe, that's cool. My wife can pick up a new instrument and knock out a song in a short time. I, on the other hand, can run a sound board but can't play a note. Thanks for breaking it down, maybe there is hope for me.
Shane, uber cool !!! Love Foghat!! Thanks!!!!
I love slow ride good job
GREAT LESSON!!!! Thnk u Shane
I have to find out the deal with Speak, so you earned my subscription
Very cool lesson. Palm muting comes a bit easier for me. Also very cool that Bob Trowe was your neighbor.
We Want Another Olds Sleep Jam Session!
Sending my Love man, keep up the nice work!
Thanks Shane. With every lesson I learn a little more. ❤️
Hey Shane, love these simple blues instructionals!
Your childhood neighbour was a certain Bob Trowe, who played "Bob Dog" on Mr.Roger's Neighbourhood.
Loving the fact that you are doing it slow, (seems an appropriate song for that technique). I tend to lean towards slow blues and with time I may actually be confidant enough to sit in on some jams. Meanwhile I'm learning enough that I can amuse myself. Keep it up you have a good thing going here. Particularly for us old farts.
Thanks for the lesson! Bob Trowe.
You're the best Shane!! Thanks for this fun lesson! I love this song!
Thanks, Shane.
Oh yeah, Foghat baby! 🤘🏻
🎶Shane Speal 🎶 🎶🎶 Take it Easy 🎶 🎶🎶 You Know the Rythem is Right 🎶 🎶🎶👍Great lesson of a great song 👍
Another great lesson Shane. For me the picking hand is what I find most problematic, but you are really getting me there. Thanks for that. Oh and the name you are looking for for the competition is Bob Trowe.
Great lesson again, looking forward to the solo part 🎸🎼
Your neighbor was Bob Trowe I love these lessons
This is a great series to do. Thanks Shane.
These lessons are good stuff ! Thanks Shane.
Great video, Shane. Thank you. Please keep them coming!!!
Hi Professor, This is a fun song to make up your own lyrics to. Good lesson.
Greetings from the Emerald City.
Great lesson!
Really Appreciate this BU video. Loving the content. Please keep the videos coming.
Great song and great lesson! Thanks Shane!
Great lesson Shane, thank you for sharing.
@shanespeal I cannot wait to get started with my first CBG, but my post-op dupuytrens hand has to heal first (4 weeks and counting).
Meanwhile, thank you sir for the very useful insights, tips and CBG passion.
Fortunately for you, I live far, far away, like the Wizard of Oz. Otherwise, your 'favourite' neighbour would be banging your door, daily😉.
Off to browse and shop at a certain CBG shop.
Great! As usual! Thanks!
Great lesson! 🙂
Bob Trowe AKA Bob Dog from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood! Woot Woot!
LOL that was the best start for a awsome day :D
Awesome Shane... Nice rhythm lesson.
Another, possibly more advanced because of the chord changes, but really good song in this same vein would be "Rocky Mountain Way".
You probably already know this better than me, but you can even keep the cbg tuned to open G starting on the 10th fret for the opening riff before going to the traditional blues riff.
yr too good a teacher,I will be up all night ,ha,thanx
You are the Bob Ross of CBG's!
You lived next door to Bob Trowe.
Awesome
Nice!
Another great lesson Shane. I love being able to just jam, but there is something so satisfying about learning a recognizable song. You lived next to bob dog (Bob Trowe) as a kid. Speaking of dogs, are there any skydog (Duane Allman) licks that would translate to cbg? That'd be fun. Either way, looking forward to whatever the next vid is. Keep em coming!
Great series Shane, keep it up, please! This might be a topic for a ways down the line, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on Blues call and response.
@shanespeal Another way for students to follow your videos is by speeding/slowing the playback speed. This can be found within the options menu (the three dots).
Thx 👍😊👍
Clean the rasp, that's Kool,teach it man, yeah,
Thanks again, back tomorrow
