Excellent lesson for the beginne slide player! As a guitar instructor myself, I often surf youtube to pick the brain of other instructors for curriculum ideas for my beginner and intermediate students and I'm never dissapointed. I've been playing for almost 30 years and teaching for more than 25 and love sharing ideas with other players and teachers. It's very rewarding. To some this may seem like a very simple lesson with very little flash, but Tom really focusses on some Continued...
Bottleneck slide for beginners response continued... Slide guitar is a very distinctive style and well worth putting in the work it takes to make it sound bad ass. I love the build up to this lesson, one important technique at a time. Great job Tom! ;)
Crossroads brought me here! 2020 and I'm in love with it!! What a great movie this is! To sad Time changes everything, also type of movies and type of meaningful impressions... Don't know how to explain what I mean exactly couse my English is not the best I'm from Germany... But still a very good movie!!!
I've just discovered this bloke. I've often shied away from RUclips demonstrators who just want to show how brilliant they are. This bloke cuts the BS & even allows his little human errors to remain with let's try that again, etc.
did you rob a cowboy' s closet Tom? anyway i' m following you for a while now and i think you 're great tight player and maybe a humble and sympathetic guy . you 've been a great help . thank you.
Hi Tom, I bought your DVD (bottleneck slide for beginners), and it's all OK, except for one thing : there are no lyrics on the PDF file for the song "sitting down in heaven" you taught from Rev. Robert Witkins, and I don't succeed in finding them on the Internet. Where could I get them, please ? (I'm French and can't understand by hear when you sing). Thanks a lot. Alex
Great video! Is it usually more common to use higher action when playing slide (set up your strings so that they are sitting higher on the fretboard, so to speak) ?
Bottleneck slide for beginners response continued... key points with slide guitar. Intonation being one of the most important I think, if you want to get that nice round bluesy slide sound without buzzing strings. He breaks it down nice n easy using 3 little notes which may appear simple, but if you can't keep those notes in line with proper placement of the slide, what you'll hear instead is something that resembles a train wreck to the listener.

Please please please, anyone know anything about that guitar? If this comment is 3, 5 or even 50 years old, please reply anyway! The shape is beautiful

Brilliant, the slow methodical pace of your teaching is clearly idiot-proof because I managed it!
did you rob a cowboy' s closet Tom? anyway i' m following you for a while now and i think you 're great tight player and maybe a humble and sympathetic guy . you 've been a great help . thank you.
What is the guitar tuned to?

Alex
what tuning IS he in??
What tuning are you in ??
Great video! Is it usually more common to use higher action when playing slide (set up your strings so that they are sitting higher on the fretboard, so to speak) ?
yes
No, you're thinking Dobro playing. In the way of the video you're using a slide but can still fret chords and notes.
open D
what do you use to raise your strings??
Man, is that the John Mayer Martin guitar?
Is it standard E tuning
Is that a Larrivee?
