    You can always tell a great lesson when you learn something new, the instructions are clear, the voice tone is mellow and easy on the ears, and you can't wait to get off ya stool and grab your guitar!

      Because when you sing you slide into the notes. That's not really his quote I've heard that many times

    THE best beginner slide lesson I've seen... and I've watched a lot.
    You've got a clean sweet sound. Keep em coming bro.

    Starting with low D string. 1st,3rd,6th strings are tuned to D / 2nd,5th tuned to A / 4th tuned to F# / 75435 for open D / Standard tuning is 55545

  • @JaguarAJ6
    @JaguarAJ6 11 лет назад +18

    Nice Lesson thanks Matt. However for some who might be new to open tunings, you called the tuning a bit wrong. You tuning is DADF#AD but you called it as DADF#BA. Thanks for the lesson though, the L sahpe is very useful.

    Great video delivered with confidence and wit from a guy who knows his stuff.
    One small slip that could cause confusion, as DENSAYO says, D major tuning should be D (6th string) A, D, Fsharp, A, D (1st string)

    I have 3 guitars that are set up for slide playing only 2 electrics & 1 acoustic (chrome body resonator) they are in various tunings (G,D & E) I need to get that resonator out and play some more but the thing weighs more than my non-weight relieved Les Pauls !
    Very good demonstration .

  • @dantalian500

  • @JonOchsendorf
    @JonOchsendorf 10 лет назад +4

    my only beef with the video is in open D tuning you have the 2nd string tuned down to B ( should be A) and the 1st string tuned to A ( should be D )

  • @RickBeall

    Hi Matt.........I've been playing slide for 2 days...........your lessons one and two are inspirational........I'm just loving the open tuning.........just bought your book...........cool man...........and the harmonized major scale is just fab............I must admit I've been playing guitar for 41 years which is rather odd..........just like you since I'm only 27..................I wish..........just retired (early 55).............back to enjoying life.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............I've never used alternate tuning's before.........apart from a few zep numbers....cool

    • @daddarioandco
      @daddarioandco  7 лет назад

      Some players will play slide with higher action. This isn't a question that is easily answered. The best solution is to see a qualified tech and have them address your needs

  • @SuperJ333
    @SuperJ333 Год назад

    "The second string is tuned down to B" - it's already at B - you mean tuned down to A.
    "The first string is tuned down to A" - you couldn't tune an E string down to A - you mean down to D.
    I'm surprised if nobody has noticed this, and that you haven't added a correction?

    @RonnieHowell 11 лет назад

    In the beginning he says the that first string is tuned down to a. I don't believe this is correct, it should be tuned down only a single step to d. The note he plays is a d as well, so I believe it was a slip of the tongue.
