This is wonderful. I use open D quite a bit and I love it. Always looking for more ideas. Thanks.

[@b54109]

I learned more from you in five minutes than from others in hours thanks Tommy

[@DNAblues]

Best slide and delta blues tutorial I ever heard.
Thank you do much. You are a master teacher and guitar player.

[@bluesboydude]

[@KalleEldtornado]

I took my glass of whiskey and started to do a simulare slide, and it worked fine. This tuning on the guitar was awesome. thank you very much Ken!

[@unicoiboy1]

[@DNAblues]

Fantastic picking lesson. It sounds great and worth the practice.

[@flyinsossers]

Just started learning slide. Great Lesson. I was able to pick this one up. Thanks

[@traxblood]

We all have our quirks don't we Its about having fun with what works for the individual. Thanks for your comments. I like your work. Its clean and with feeling. Well done.

[@justcutthedie]

So. Freaking. Awesome. Gives me chills......

[@volvosneverdie]

That was awesome. Thanks for posting. Inspired me to learn.

[@BigWapiti]

What a great lesson!!

[@mikka1963]

Great stuff. Thanks for the tips, they sure help beginners in the open tuned guitars like me.

[@traxblood]

Thanks Ben. Also thanks for sharing your video of Floyd with me. It was a very good stand alone performance. Peace.

[@elbonewa]

Thank you! I found this video very helpful and within an hour or so I can now play alog with you pretty well! Thanks again! I am picking up my dobro hounddog deluxe next week and can't wait to play along with that!

[@WysteriaGuitar]

Superb lesson sir. Absolutely superb. Thank you for posting.

[@mojostew]

Love it, added to my fave's. Now to get my pickin' hand working properly..
thanks for the vid mate.

[@robinsonandrade693]

Muito obrigado a você mestre deste vídeo ,pois foi por ele que comecei a obter a pegada exata do instrumento...Pela afinação e técnica ensinada no slide e pontilhado!!!
Já estou criando minhas músicas personalizadas sobre esta base...Deus abençoe muito em nome de Jesus...você abrir seu conhecimento para outros também crescerem juntos contigo!!!Valeu...

[@montymammoth3340]

Awesome video! Picked up a lot from here. My guitar is always tuned in open. I can't play any other way now. Standard tuning sounds so drab in comparison. I got the same issue explaining my pick hand too.Thanks for the great video, your style seems closest to mine that I can find, other than Messiahsez, who is pretty awesome too.

[@AllanHusted]

Great stuff - some nice simple things to have a go at. Thanks

[@pauleherrera]

That's nice. Im gonna watch it again. Like to see more stuff in open g. Im still trying to learn to play guitar

[@DJLodgikalNonsense]

Much Respect. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@STEAKEGGSANDCHIPS]

Outstanding lesson thanks mate.

[@TheKatula75]

Simply thanks for upload. Fantastic

[@neogeoriffic]

This is a great little lesson! Thanks, man

[@shakyhandpictures2185]

Beautifully done, with thanks

[@traxblood]

Thanks DNAblues. If your learning, keep at it. It won't take all that long to reap the rewards.

[@MrFranciscoFidalgo]

Sir I'm also a beginner, I was told that using anchor fingers to support your hand is a bad habit. Apart from that thanks for your lesson. Keep posting.

[@fizzilemon]

Thanks! You make it seem easy.

[@NoisyLittleBugger]

Great lesson - thank you for sharing!

[@nico74321]

the ending is crazy good !

[@traxblood]

Hi Sophie. To answer you question, it doesn't matter what type of guitar is used. The technique used is the same. Solid body, hollow body electric, acoustic, its all the same. I don't know why you can't find a person using a hollow body electric? They are commonly used all over the world.

[@farmanthor3770]

Love the guitar

[@RRR1081]

Nice simple lesson. Thanks Can't wait to hear some of the critics post.

[@mrvrah]

thanks for the cool lesson brother. nevermind the bonehead critics, they are way to accomplished to learn anything new anyway.

[@freshman1213]

Incredible. I honestly wish I could pick like that. I'm still used to flat picks.

[@symoncoxon2448]

cheers really helped me out ken

[@traxblood]

Hi Russ. My answer to your question is. Open G or open E. Both of these are used in thousands of songs. It depends on what you like. Whatever your favorite Artists are will determine what key to choose. The Rolling Stones Keith Richards uses open G often in their songs. The second thing is you might want to buy a cheap used acoustic for a second guitar as to keep it tuned for slide.

[@rayjclifford]

Loved it, and picked up some new tricks :)

[@russjalichandra5491]

Thank you for your tips. I was thinking open G or D which might be used with capo. I have a number of guitars to spare but too lazy to practice or master several different tunings at the same time. So i just try to figure out which tuning would be most useful and easy to play. Thanks.

[@traxblood]

Thanks Adam. Glad you liked it.

[@molarjock]

Thank you for the lesson and the beautiful playing. Your guitar is amazing! What is the make and model, if you don't mind?

[@billholmes9251]

Thanks Ken , thought it was a good lesson

[@traxblood]

Hi chokicou. The slide is a personal thing. Also the strings you use will effect the sound. So its a sound that you like that matters. There is no better slide. I used an alligator head in one of my songs and it sounded great to me.

[@flannelcat7073]

wow ken! im thinking you just inspired me to take up some slide pickin thanks eh!!!

[@EsNaujSolrak]

It's a great lesson. I am trying to have the correct picking notes and basses, but its not easy.
It is possible if U share by this way the picking tab, will really appreciate ur kindness. thanks.

[@russjalichandra5491]

thanks for d tip, the thing about slide guitar in open tuning is normally it's quite tiresome to change different open tuning all the time. so my question is, if you have to play in one open tuning only, what is the open tuning key that is the most versatile, useful?

[@nico74321]

that's a decent soul there!

[@nastydog131]

I have trouble with the down tuning . I have an electronic tuner for my acoustic and iam just plain lost . Any help would be wonderful . I loved your style and lesson !

[@Bigdaddyluv68]

Thanks for this. I use a Brass slide & and I love open D! Ry Cooder's Vigilante man got me hooked on open D. Do you have any more great tunes in open D? I'm always looking to expand my songbook for open D since it's kinda a pain to tune it there and I only bring one guitar! That said I like to have a good 30-45 mins of D material...I never remember it all! I also try to make the tunes sound very different so as not to detract from fact that they are all the same open D tuning. Thanks again!

[@RationalGaze780]

Coolest open tunning explanation in the youtube!! lol

[@maxzaxe]

Pretty simple little lesson,fairly easy good stuff for a beginner.Thanks,for posting. maxzaxe

[@resodziadzu]

I have always preferred the biscuit type resonators like the National resophonics, but your dobro with a spider bridge sounds damm good. Is the body metal?

[@joseluisfernandez58]

Thanks so much!!!

[@jeanninejublot870]

[@michaelkonrad6944]

Awesome - Thanks for keepin it simple :-)

[@sethwalker3732]

Hello to you also. Thank you also for this and etc..
From,
Seth Walker..

[@RichOReilly]

thanks for this, Huge help

[@karenfisher8776]

he used to play an old dobro cause curtis low was the finest picker to ever play the blues

[@POsomething]

What's that resonator guitar made of? The wood looks very nice!

[@JOHNO1910]

Very nice...

[@TheOldblueser]

What do you use in your slide to make it fit?

[@calleibiza12]

Hi Great Lesson, Great riffs, Tips & Style and well put across! Have you any other lessons that us mortals can follow? Many thanks

[@mecagoen666]

what do you use to tight your slide to your finger!
Thanks great vid

[@Civilopedian]

How hard do you press down with the metal bar? I have difficulty getting an even sound on all the strings because of more pressure on some strings than others.

[@chuckieweber2843]

Right on

[@jurgenblick5491]

sweet and thank you

[@traxblood]

Thanks Peter. Its an Epiphone.

[@traxblood]

Don't press down very hard at all. The thing you are calling the metal bar is known as a slide. It can be made up of many different things. Look close to what I am using and you will see that it is a glass bottle. Look into my video files and you will find lessons with explanations of this. Hope this helped.

[@guitarczar15]

that was really cool

[@berny0171]

Cool...........Merci beaucoup

[@jrdahmani8142]

Thank you a lot

[@kerbclipper1]

good lesson.thanks

[@willysunday]

thanks very much!

[@lesliecumberland2512]

Hi Ken, enjoying trying to learn this lesson Is there any chance of the TAB so I can go at my pace I just started to involve
myself into Delta slide, Thanks for sharing this lesson here. From U K

[@traxblood]

It is a Dobro. Resonator.

[@survivingthefemaleclusterb5947]

What slide are you using? This is all quite terrific!

[@traxblood]

+Surviving The Female Narcissist Hi STFN. The slide is an old medicine bottle with foam in it. Thanks.

[@traxblood]

Thanks. Enjoy.

[@SassoRJR]

Hi,
I started to play guitare few weeks ago and I try to play the song but I can't follow all the movement of the fingers.
Is someone able to write the tab ?
Thanks

[@montymammoth3340]

Open D# tuning is sweet too (D#,A#,D#,G,A#,D#)..

[@1000MRJason]

Is there a name on this particular tune? Sounds great

[@traxblood]

Thanks man. Its only a jam, an idea in the style of Delta blues. Thanks again for listening.

[@MostLikelyMortal]

Is there any major differences in the necks of resonator guitars that make it easier for slide use? I've been experimenting with slides recently and have been wondering.

[@rev.jimjonesandthekool-aid4488]

No

[@TheCleft]

My bottleneck is in steel. Is Porcelain better? What about glass?

[@dmlz4844]

thank you

[@andrewmoodie1]

Nice to see some right-hand emphasis, there isn't nearly enough of that with these types of vids.

[@starbound6287]

thx big leaque,,

[@joshfaust8160]

What kind of guitar is he playing? I really want one...

[@peterwright5249]

Hi ken great lesson 👌 is that a hound dog Gibson or epephone

[@007007niki]

hey man I had a stroke an forget a lot , uhm this stuck gooood! im pleezed

[@pelumaad331]

Is that a Republic resonator?

[@traxblood]

Thanks.

[@carrilloinc]

hey Ken,
how the action on that guitar? I went to guitar center to buy a resonator guitar and the three that i saw the action was insanley high? did you buy with the action high and lowered it or do some resonator guitars come with the action low? thanks...

[@georgescarlett2320]

Were you looking at Square Neck Reso's? It's like any other new guitar, set-up to suite your own playing style.

[@heavymandrilrock]

good man!!

[@traxblood]

Thank you WysteriaGuitar. Are you learning?

[@chuckjordan2856]

Coool

[@Blue_3rd]

True, it is a brand name. However, for many years ‘Dobro’ has been widely accepted as a generic term for ‘resonator’. I’m sure this guy knows the difference. I’ve heard many people call their guitars Strats when they are not made by Fender. Perhaps ‘Dobro style’ would be more appropriate. I’ve played a Dobro, now made by Epiphone, is it an Epi or a Dobro? :)
In Britain we call all vacuum cleaners Hoovers, same thing - people refer to the name of the first one or the most famous.

[@thmpick]

Is this a Dobro Hound dog he's playing here? I've seen cheapo looking Hound Dogs but they tend to not sound a s good as his.
