I buy all my gear at Sweetwater through Brian. He's a very cool guy and super helpful. If you are at the store and ask him to help you find the right guitar, he will not only find it but play something on it that will blow your mind. He doesn't give you a sales pitch, he demonstrates how good the instrument can sound in the right hands within a few masterful riffs. We definitely need more Brian videos!
Great advice! I would add Muting strings so they dont ring out uncontrolled. Slide playing is about total control You can mute with heel of hand, fingers of picking hand or even fingers behind the slide. You dont want unwanted strings ringing out. Great Video!
I’d also like to mention his thumb walking bass notes, don’t remember what it’s called but that keeps that tempo
Great video Brian. Another tip - use the fingers behind the slide to mute the strings and reduce the overtones. When you touch the string with the slide the length of string behind the slide rings as well. Not as loud as the length of string you're picking, but loud enough to add overtones. Sometimes this creates a cool, gritty sound but most times it's unwanted dissonance. To make it more comfortable to mute behind the slide, make a "bridge" with your fingers that are behind the slide and let your index finger be the mute across the strings. Look at how Brian is holding his fingers behind the slide - that's the "bridge" I'm referencing. Before I was taught that technique, I muted with a free-hanging index finger and it got fatigued really fast. Another benefit is more control over the slide when you use this technique.
If everyone would just watch more Little House on the Prairie, and make great videos like this, we might actually make something of this planet. Thank you guys. Great stuff!
I’ve always jacked the action up but in all these years I never thought about flattening them out. Great tip
Great lesson. Thank you! I just got schooled on the slide for sure. Rock on Peeps! 🤘🏼
Easily the best electric slide guitar instruction video I`ve seen in the last three years. Thank you
Love the tone and tuning...will set my tele up for this setup. Great lesson for every player...
Thank you! That was a great, easy to understand lesson! It really helps someone to learn the basics of slide guitar.
I never thought to play it in open tunings. Such a great way to get those tones! Sweet stuff man! 🤙
this guy knows his stuff ! rock on brian!
Neaver thought about #5 befor.. sweet man
Killer tutorial. Thanks!
Finally a slide instructor who has his slide on his pinky
Thanks for the last tip. awesome
I was looking for a info how slide with radius is used but I found the best slide lesson I've ever seen instead
Thank you!
Thanks, especially for the 5th!
Nice demo!
More Brian Lemert please!
Excellent lesson, clearly explained.
One question: If you were to teach yourself slide, what would be the 3 main (as in "easiest") keys to learn to play in, listed easiest to more difficult.
Well, I actually have another question: Does Bonnie Raitt (did I spell her name correctly?) favor one particular key? Many thanks!
Thanks man good lesson
Very nice video on slide. I’m new to slide and need to find a budget guitar I can set up just for open slide. Do you have any links to lessons past? Might look into a squier classic vibe tele for this. Thanx
You sound really good!…..reminds me of Sonny Landreth.
Excellent post! Thanks!
Fantastic video!
this is great thank you
Great tips!
That was really great man. How high action in MM do you have that guitar set? Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you!!
Thank you for very usefull video!
Sweetwater the best)
Thanks, that was slammin playing there.
Thanks, James!
Great vid, thanks.
Awesome tips! They made me sub!!!!
Sweetwater is awesome.
Very good
that was awesome.
lowest pitch string to highest - DGDGBD. But his guitar is actually D# G# D# G# C D#. Just in case you were confused.
thanks even tho this was a year ago i'm glad someone took notice.
Cool shit Bro,dig it.
Would have been nice if you included to Gibson Epiphone Les Paul and SG because of the stop bar tailpiece different setup and truss rod
Damn that's one shiny neck mines covered in finger jam
Am I bugging out or is that Telecaster actually tuned a half-step up from what he says, to Open G#/Ab ?
LukeTruth you’re right
This guys a killer player. Is there a group this mans associated with? Would like to see him in action!
I hope everyone has a fantastic day!
You too.
❤❤❤❤
Brian, how are ya? Its The Loch Ness Locher . . . Locher, lol
Waao
Dude... you said the wrong tuning. It is D# G# D# G# C D#
I've been playing for 26 years both amatuerly and professionally and idk who needs to hear it but im telling you right now: don't get lost in the ambiguity of all these tutorials. There are subtle nuances that just can't be articulated properly with words, in my opinion. If you wanna learn how to do it then dedicate yourself to practice, practice, practice. All of your free time should be practicing. At any given moment. And if you "aint got the time" then just forget it.
2:52 yikes! Scary chord.
Ahh :)
Guitar shines like dimond....
I made slide out of metal pipe for free lol
That ain't open G
No help
In America everyone’s an engineer
what ever modulation pedal you have on is mildly annoying when you trying to show stuff
