Welcome to "Getting Ready to Slide"!

This course is designed to answer the most common questions people have about starting to play slide guitar - the things that put them off even trying.

It will help you get kitted out and give you the confidence to dive in to a whole new world of guitar playing, transforming you from a normal guitar player to a One Finger Guitarist!

Slide guitar sounds amazing (as I’m sure you agree, if you’re reading this!)

The tones you can create, and the expression you can wring out of a guitar with a slide are out of this world.

However it presents even experienced “conventional” guitar players with a set of unique challenges.

• with the slide on one finger, suddenly you’ve become a One Finger Guitarist! 
• not only that, but it’s as if someone has removed all your frets! Suddenly we have to learn how to play in tune…
• then we have to learn to mute the strings to stop everything just being a noisy mess
• and if we decide to go down the open tuning route, we have to re-learn the fretboard again

I’m not saying any of this to put you off, but rather to prepare you for the exciting journey ahead.

In this course we'll explore

• how to choose a slide
• which finger to use for the slide
• guitar setup for slide guitar
• tunings
• whether to use a pick or your fingers

It’s a wild ride, so strap yourself in tight, and get ready to take your guitar playing into a whole different dimension!
