Thank you Dylan, this lesson is gold and your playing is always inspiring!
Learned all my slide in standard from: Live at the Filmore. Yes, JACK PEARSON! Saw him live with the brothers. Very close to Duane.
I didn't think Duane played any slide in standard tuning? I know Warren Haynes and Dickey Betts does but I didn't think Duane did? You learn something new everyday.
@@bluzzedude2677 You’re right, Duane played slide mostly in open E tuning but there are some exceptions. Such as mountain jam and dreams.
@@kylebollendorf4856 Thanks Kyle. I'm a 40+ yr player myself but I just never really played much slide. I'll tell you this though. The first time I ever heard "Ain't My Cross To Bear" it gave me goose bumps and kick-started my passion for the "Blues" which goes right into today. I'll always be grateful for that.
@@bluzzedude2677 Me too brother....I think I had the cassette tape Beginnings and it just blew me away. I was lucky enough to have a Dad that loved the ABB and had Fillmore East on vinyl
@@kylebollendorf4856 All the best to you Kyle!
You are a one of a kind player. I love all of the bands that your band covers. I hope one day you are producing original music that will lift you to the hero status you deserve to be.
Im a legit Dylan Adams fan now. You've renewed my enthusiasm for learning slide, that I gave up on 20yrs ago. Please keep the tutorial videos coming man
Dylan, your playing knocks me out, coming from someone who's been playing 30 years and can hold my own. Your videos inspired me to pick up a slide that fits, and playing in standard is so refreshing, after so many years of conventional wisdom saying standard and slide don't go together. I'm down to 1 guitar, and knowing I don't need to change anything to play slide has removed my main excuses to get good at slide. Hearing what you can do definitely opened my eyes. Thank you. I hope you keep it up.
Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to do this Dylan!
Great lesson Dylan. Love the tone!
This was awesome,thanks Dylan.
Can't wait for part two!!!!
I have played slide in standard tuning for about 35 years. (It cuts down on time between songs on live gigs.) I still learned a surprising amount from you! I use a glass Dunlop thin slide, but on my ring finger. I'm going to try your way though. Thanks Dylan!
thanks Dylan, generously offered, as always ! looking forward to part 2 🤠
Thanks Dylan - great video! love the recommendations at the end
Absolutely brilliant Dylan. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
I’ve been trying to get into slide for years and generally feel like an amateur faking the vocabulary. But dude, how did I not think about the literal translation of open scales, so helpful! Thanks! Obviously a killer player, but you’ve also been doing great getting up and running on the whole RUclips thing! I should probably sit down for a lesson with you at some point, but if you’re looking for video ideas, would love to see one on Truck’s vocabulary in standard tuning. Thanks man, keep it up!
I can't tell you how awesome this is. I have been figuring out slide for myself over the past few years and it has been hard. This is so good! Nice to see your approach and thoughts. Learning slide by myself has felt like being out in the wilderness. Sometimes you see other players from a distance and try and copy, figure things out, and add your own ideas. I really hope you keep doing these! Keep fighting the good fight haha
You make this look too easy,Dylan! Worth the time and effort . Great video
Thanks for making these! As soon as I discovered you I immediately started trying out standard tuning and your hybrid slide/fingered style. It's a whole new world
Thanks for this Dylan! I cant wait to get home and try some of this out.
This is so good! Thanks man!
Yes yes! You can't find this info anywhere else! Thank you for sharing!
Very informative - well done!
Thanks for the lesson, the peanatonic shape unlocks a variety of ideas!!
Awesome! Great lesson and unreal playing!
Thanks so much! 🤘🏻
that's a real great lesson , thanks Dylan
Great tutorial Dylan, your tone is impeccable! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Yessss. So Glad for this channel. Just in case you haven't heard this yet today, you are ridiculously good at this
I’ve always played in Standard so never thought about translating it like this! Thank you!
Great stuff man, thank you!
awesome - thanks for deconstructing those to apply to standard.
Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. It makes a novice slider have hope!
Thanks Dylan 🙏🎸🔥
Good stuff!!
Solid lesson brother! Looking forward to learning some much needed clarity.
Really great lesson thanks!
Excellent, patient instructions on how to play both in open E and standard. This is such a helpful resource!!!
God bless you for mentioning Jack. You are awesome, and I’ll be putting this whole video to use! Keep rocking.
Really Great Man ❤❤❤
Great lesson. Well done. Thank you.
perfect timing on this one. been playing more slide recently and finally broke it out for a coupla tunes on a recent gig. really dig that minor pentatonic box - can also see how to easily swap between that and mixolydian. well done!
Thanks so much Dillon I’m an old guitar player who’s always played slides standard tuning your videos are very inspiring. Keep up the great work.
This is what’s so cool about the guitar! there’s so many different ways and places to play virtually the exact same thing. But playing the “same” thing in various positions it gives us very different sounds and inflections based on where notes fall and their relation to each other. Also different strings for the same notes gives us different tones.
Thanks Dyland ❤ very informative and clear . For such bad ass slide player ,You are so humble . Thank again for being yourself ❤❤❤❤
this is soo good.!
Thanks for a very helpful video. I just watched the Jack Pearson solo - wow!
Awesome video. Thanks!
Fantastic, thanks for this
My man , Awesome tutorial !🤙
Thanks Dan! 🤙🏻
Really cool perspective, thanks for sharing! There are very few RUclips educators out there tackling slide! One standard tuning solo I tried (and failed at) early on was the Harrison one on Lennon's "how do you sleep?" It's definitely in the wacky outside blues category.
Thank you very much for this fantastic tutorial mate!!!! Yes, we can sound great in standard tuning too!!!!
Jack Pearson makes everything look so effortless....I also love that he plays Squier's on stage ! Thanks Dylan !!
He really does, looks like his fingers are barely moving while he’s playing. Don’t know how he gets the sound he does with such a light touch 🔥
He played a silvertone Jupiter the first night I saw him and it would have made Elmore James cry
I learned slide in standard from Warren and im glad you included it....I look at it as G shape and A shape I guess....awesome video and awesome slide playing Dylan
Perfect! Thanks very much.
Outstanding lesson Dylan. When is Part 2 due to be released? Looking forward to seeing/hearing the continuation of this Part 1 video.
Thank you Dylan for these wonderful tutorials. Ive been getting more and more into slide and I feel like I just 10X'd my playing in a night
Have ended up in C# Standard on my guitars for the last few months, and really enjoy it. Learning the notes, transposing songs. Would be amazing to add slide tone to my arsenal
Man ! You are awesome 👌👏😎
I’ve been playing a bit of slide in standard for about a year now to do little vocal lines and chordal stuff, but you opened my eyes to the possibility of sounding like open tuning and playing the Duane style slide licks in standard. I’ve been chugging through statesboro blues one lick at a time and it’s been the most fun I’ve had learning new guitar ideas in a long time
Right on!! Like I said in the video, Jack Pearson’s playing gave me that same revelation and is partly what inspired me to make the switch, so I’m so stoked to hear people are getting that from this video. Keep working at it and keep having fun! 🤙🏻
Awesome Dylan!! Fantastic content and I bought this rock slide last week and it's sounds amazing, your contents really helps me to improve my slide skills. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
So glad to hear the videos have helped!! 🤘🏻❤️
Great tips!
This rules, thanks man!
Great lesson! I've been learning and playing slide in open tunings, but haven't seen a lesson that explains the correlation in getting the open tuning sound with standard tuning. The way you explained this altered pentatonic scale in standard tuning, to replicate the open style licks made perfect sense. Well done! And I'm sub'd and following now.
Thanks so much, and I’m glad it made sense/was helpful! I honestly wasn’t sure whether or not I was just gonna confuse everyone with this weird version of the scale haha
Thanks. I will give it a go.
Damn! Those licks sound amazing in standard even without a slide! You improved my playing in standard AND in open with just one video. Thanks!
Hell yeah, glad to hear it! 🤘🏻
Keep On Kicking ass Dylan!
Thanks Jeff! 🤘🏻
Perfect!!
Dylan u sound fantastic!!!
I’ve always played what little I know about slide in open tunings. I’m not very technical, and slow on the uptake, in the 2 or 3 times I really tried to play slide on standard tuning it just didn’t take for me. 🤪 like everything else I’ve learned on guitar even the simplest stuff for me takes a lot of effort to understand. I appreciate the content and save it for a time when what I’m trying at present really clicks.
this is nice! thanks! cheers from Manila ♥
Great lesson, thanks
Great stuff man! Been playing slide in open tunings and fingerpicking in standard and always wanted to combine those. Gonna check this out some more. So you have like 5 different shapes (caged like) across the neck? Take care man, keep it coming! Looking forward to part 2. Would also like to find out more about your tone/drive settings.
Another really good video. I have always played slide in Standard. Occasionally I would play slide on "Non" slide tunes. Black Magic Woman, Freeway Jam, etc.Back in the day, most of us had one electric guitar. Changing back in forth was a hassle. And, we did not have tuners. Had an A 440 pitch fork. Vibrate it, put between your teeth and tune the a string. The rest off the A string....
Thanks!
I'm struggling with the sound moving from open to standard, but love having my go to versatility back. Thx for the vids.
More videos like this please
GREAT lesson dude! I’m a full time player.. gigging all the time.. teach some private lessons….In other words I know how to play. But slide was always my Achilles heel. And since many of the bands I work with go through sets very quickly, I never have an opportunity to change to open tuned guitars etc.., and that was always my excuse for not learning
slide well. However, your approach is super practical, and it’ll get me on the right path. so now I have zero excuses! Lol Anyway thanks for posting!!
helpful and insightful thank you. will you do a video on fretting/slide in standard at some point?
You inspired me to pick up the slide man. Thanks. You should release some courses. You know how to teach pretty well.
Definitely plan to make courses, hopefully sooner than later!
I'm a firm believer that Jack Pearson is the single most well-rounded guitarist in history. at least the most well-rounded one I know of, and I'd like to think I know a lot of em.
Agree 110%...
Good one Flarda boy!
The first way you played the first lick I kinda envision the E shape chord, and the second way would be A shape chord. I naturally learned to do the A chord way (or Warren Haynes as you described) but the way that you prefer is definitely eye opening and something I’m gonna try to add into my playing! Thanks a lot!
Brilliant, thanks man! That slide-on-the-pinkie thing's killing my confidence, but I've finally decided to give it a proper try...so, it's 'teach an old dog a new trick' kinda thing. :)
ps
Looking forward to the fretting behind (or is it in front) the slide in part two.
Excelletn lesson here Dylan Adams !
I play in standard tuning and it is easy to play in the same way as playing in open tuning. On the three or four high strings are chords on one fret - for major (d/g/b) and minor (g/b/e/) or minor 7 (d/g/b/e).
That’s some smooth pickin’ son!
Keep them coming please! Love the great work ( and your playing)! Consider making some “paid” content so that i can show some support!
Ah yes this is the one 👌🎸
Slide in standard? Yes please. Thanks. Subbed!
Thanks! 🤘🏻
It would be great playing a gig on one guitar and not switching to play slide. You’ve challenged me to learn to play in standard! If you do privates, I’d love to hear about it.
You are a one of a kind talent that goes beyond a cover band. Any thoughts about original music?
You have a one of a kind talent. Your talent is so much more than covers. To approach the next level, original music is the key. Your band is good. But you can be something that makes a mark on guitar history. That may require original music. Have your written anything?
As a 40+ yr player who's, mostly, grounded in the Blues....I've never played slide. I don't know why. Maybe because the few times I gave it a shot in standard tuning..it didn't sound good. Anyway, I want to learn how. I like to record and I want to throw some of this into my tunes. Thanks for giving back Dylan. I'm gonna try and follow your leads lol.
Thanks Dylan. Great lesson. I appreciate the translation between the standard minor pentatonic and standard slide pentatonic shapes. You have give me a lot of fun work to do! You have also save me a lot if time and frustration trying to get things to sound right! Please keep them coming! Looking forward to Part 2.
Great playing, great tutorials! Question, where did you get that cool looking custom tele? Gold foil in the neck and mini HB in the bridge?
Thanks so much! It’s a Mulecaster made by Mule Resophonic guitars, a hollow steel-bodied wood-necked Tele and it’s my favorite guitar! Two mini humbuckers actually, the neck pickup just has a cool looking foil-esque cover
Check out JD Simo too. He plays slide in standard that sounds like he’s in open tuning. He can also do the Derek Trucks sound in standard tuning. There are several videos on RUclips
That Mulecaster is awesome
Thanks, it truly is a special guitar!
Hi Dylan, I'm fascinated by the way you play slide. Can you share a bit of the technique you use when you alternate fretted notes with slide ones?
I’m definitely planning to to a “fretting behind the slide” video soon! Maybe next after Part 2 of this series. I’ve intentionally been holding off just because I wanted cover a couple less-advanced topics first 🤙🏻
I've been playing the odd song in open G slide for years in our blues band, to give a different tonality, but I thought I'd try learning in standard tuning. Your scale shape at the beginning is superb, I really found that a useful start. But, pleease tell me how you get that awesome tone.... I want!!!
Hey Dylan, awesome video! After noodling around with slide for a few years, you have inspired me to finally properly learn:) Would be so cool if you made a few courses in the future... Little bit off topic but where do you stand on top wrapping? I noticed you top wrap on your SG and I know that Duane used to do it on his LPs. Just wanted to ask as it seems counterintuitive for slide playing since it makes the strings feel slinkier. For example, I know that Derek Trucks doesn't top wrap and tightens the tailpiece down to the body for the very opposite effect. So is it more of a compromise so that normal playing is easier?
Thanks man, I’m stoked to hear you properly digging into some slide! So the main reason I started top wrapping all of my tune-o-matic guitars was honestly just to reduce string breakage. Even after switching to brass saddles and making sure they were free of burrs or sharp edges, I would still break strings all the time at gigs since I’m actually pretty heavy handed in the right hand despite not using a pick. I break them way less often now. It maybe feels slightly slinkier, but not enough to really make it significantly harder to play slide
Ahhh that makes so much sense! I didn’t even think of that because I thought that it might have be some secret for slide playing lol. I’m borrowing an Epiphone Dot right now and I used to break strings on it all the time until I jacked up the tailpiece fairly high. It really does work!
Thanks for your response mate - I look forward to seeing your channel grow:)
Excellent, thanks we need this ! Ah Jack Person is a wise man...who wants to rip off a squire ....he can manipulate any string instrument and sound the GOAT.
Thanks Dylan, you are God in Disguise, the same as a Waterfall, and birds are the Holy Spirit Veiled.
I had to slow the video down because I couldn't work out the "re-mix" of the Minor Pentatonic shape. But got it. Much more expression that way.
With Gratitude.
