Bottleneck Slide Guitar on DVD

Taught by Fred Sokolow

Nothing sounds as bluesy as a slide guitar, and this 70 minute DVD shows you how it’s done on electric and acoustic, solo or with a group. Using classic blues tunes – Little Red Rooster, Sittin’ On Top Of The World, Reconsider Baby, The Sky Is Crying, Farther On Up The Road and One Way Out – Fred Sokolow shows you how to play and improvise slide in the styles of the great bluesmen – Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Mississippi Fred McDowell and Duane Allman.

In this DVD lesson you will learn:

        • Solos, backup licks, turnarounds and fills in three tunings:

          open G, open D and standard.

        • How to play slide in any key.

        • How to improvise slide solos in standard and  open tunings

          using moveable blues boxes.

Close-ups of both hands help you see just how it’s done and the accompanying tab/music booklet makes it easy to follow the arrangements. Fred’s teaching is clear and easy to understand. This DVD lesson is a great introduction to the soulful world of bottleneck/slide guitar.
