#slideguitar #slidebasics #beginnerslideguitar I've had a lot of requests for an intro to slide guitar. So I came up with these 10 tips (I could've probably done 20!), I hope they are helpful. Here are the ten tips...
1. Tune in an open tuning
2. Raise the action
3. Pick your slide
4. Mute unused strings
5. Mute strings behind slide
6. Play with a light touch
7. Place slide at fret
8. Vibrato is your friend
9. Jam along with records
10. Have fun!
