Thanks for more “hand-eye-ear-mind” philosophy of slide guitar. When Padawans imitate and emulate Jedi Masters, we can pick up skills and develop and discover ourselves as artists and musicians. I especially like your analogy of the overlapping of zones of influences and inspirations to assist in finding a personal voice. Please keep making these types of videos that expand us as “string sliders.” Mahalo and Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏼🎸🌈
Man, you are so welcome I’m really glad this resonated with you! The tone we end up making starts with our minds/ hearts. We start there, that’s why there’s so much discussion about influences, thinking about tone etc… really glad that this meant something to you, we have a lot more of these coming up!
Thanks man I really appreciate that! I have a ton of "lecture" style lessons that are coming out soon that I'm excited to really dive into so stay tuned and hope you dig what is coming up!
Thank you so much for that feedback! This was only the second one of these so I’m finding my stride but feel great about where they’re headed. There are a ton of topics I’m really excited to talk about at length with the hopes of getting folks like you some great longer form videos so please stay tuned and again thank you so much for the feedback, we’re working on it!
Now your rockin' Jules! Nice detail. Comprehensive. Thanks for the presentation. Learning a lot. My ultimate slide player is George Harrison. His intonation was other wordly. Playing the sitar probably helped here. There are many parallels between Indian music and slide playing. Many famous Indian classical slide players that blow my mind with crazy technique. Cheers
I really appreciate that, thank you! The idea with this slightly new style of video is that we'll be able to increase output between the Leyhe lectures/ lessons to the other style of videos like the mulecaster/ recording studio video as well as live band performances ... we're working on all of the above so stay tuned for lots more!
This approach of combining influences really resonated with me. Any topic I research (even outside of music), I tend to ask how would I do it my way with what I know/my background. Also that part of focusing on the fundamentals, doing few things, but doing it well (when talking about Derek) was a great point!!! Imma take that to heart!
Jules, I had that almost same “rock” slide….i was crushed because it broke…I have another Rock slide that I like and JD SIMO plays the same one. Derek is my favorite slide player. Sonny Landreth is up there too….
Super cool man, and the rock slide definitely makes a great slide! I’m actually just about to release a signature slide which I’m head over heels about I think you’ll dig it!
Another great lesson really appreciated here in the UK. Started playing slide when arthritis bent my left hand pinkie, its now covered with a rockslide, chrome finish or brass depending on which instrument I'm playing. Really appreciate it, if you could describe how you would analyse a classic song such as 'Dock of the bay' and tranform it into open E tuned, slide form. Thanks for your inspirational playing, and patient enthusiastic education. Best wishes .
@@julesleyhe Thanks Jules, another really useful lesson. It's great to have such a fast and positive response, I'm sure it reflects your character and demonstrates your true love of the music. I was at college in the early sixties when the blues came to the UK, but unfortunately didn't start playing and singing till I reached 66. Life changing! 14 years on, busking and 1album recorded, have so much to learn, but keen. Let us know if you ever come to the UK . Best wishes Tez.
Thank you so much! I do teach private lessons, if you visit my website julesleyhemusic.com and find the lessons tab you can send an inquiry, I’d be happy to work with you!
Hi Jules, awesome master class video BTW. My question is regarding setting up a dedicated guitar for slide. Im using a Tokia SG Jr which has only a rounded bridge. I would imagine playing slide you would want NO curve on the string profile, as this would hinder accurate mechanics (as the slide is straight not curved). Im finding using your methods of using minor/7th/9th positions using behind the slide fingering results in mixed results regarding note quality. Any advise??? Regards Nick
Hi Nick, thank you so much for that and great question. You don’t want too much curve that’s for sure however if the strings aren’t SUPER stiff and have some play it shouldn’t be too big of a problem. I have pretty low action on my SG so that I can play slide, comfortably fret notes behind slide, fret w slide and none of it’s too tough, SG’s are really great slide guitars!
@@julesleyhe Thanks Jules, i actually filed the bridge flat and it has helped, will take your advise also and lower the action a little. Also, thanks for the video response on tone and setup. Ive got a boutique P90 which has a nice full tone. Your channel is very slick and your playing is just fabulous. Cheers
If i could get the Jerry Dougless type of dobro sound with my guitar slides that would be nice, i wish i had the problem of sounding too much like otther people, that sounds like "pro guitarplayer problems"
I wish I could get Jerry Douglass’ sounds with my slides too- I definitely used to play slide more like a dobro, higher action and big thick strings… but now I’m way more into being able to do it all on one guitar setup for both slide/ not slide if I have to do either. I love transcribing as many folks as I can and just combining influences as much as possible, but sounding like yourself however you can at the end of the day is the goal that’s for sure!
I love your slide work! FYI, Duane started playing slide in standard tuning then switched to open E for the blues songs, but still played in standard for melodic slide for Mountain Jam and Dreams. I also really like the fat slide tone Warren Haynes gets.

I’m repeating myself, but long form conversations like this rule. What a full meal.
I’ll definitely be getting into more of these in September!
Great video, great channel
Thanks so much, really appreciate it!
You have a great way of explaining and teaching these ideas, thank you man keep up the good work 🤙

Thank you Jules. I have several different slides but my favorite is a heavy brass ball slide.
You got it! Love a good heavy brass slide!
Very inspiring - thanks so much!
Appreciate that so much, thank you!
Just great, love it❤
You got it man, really appreciate it!

Absolutely love George too, one of the greats! Thanks so much really appreciate it!
I haven't watched the whole thing but I'm loving it so far, thanks Jules!

Thank you so much for that, and really great question that I'm going to be expanding upon in a video very soon!
Hey Tez, I answered your question in my newest video! Check it out: ruclips.net/video/XtezR8H_W-0/видео.htmlsi=Xs2P_dwDR2fdiPv8

For anyone who doesn’t know Dunlop makes a Derek Trucks signature Coricidin Bottle slide. Best 15$ I w ever spent
Awesome, Josh! I’m just about to release my own signature slide- stay tuned! I’m really excited about this slide it’s amazing!
