This is one klassmate that honestly enjoys your smart ass tidbits & comedic additions. And your more serious comments, rare as they are, contain wisdom only obtained via experience, as far as I can tell. And I appreciate all of it. You are a big part of this channel & little community Uncle Larry has created. Thank you for being here…long haired viking basement dweller😉🤘

I don’t play slide but, the part about combining slide with fingers made total sense. I find it incredible that Uncle Larry takes the time to do this. Thanks, I think everyone deeply appreciates what you share.

Mate, I just got to say how good a communicator you are. Im sure a lot of us out here in the world dont understand how hard it is for a person to have a natural conversation with a black rectangle on the desk and make it feel like you are talking directly to each of us. Great stuff.

Thank you Tom! You keep us all striving to be better.

Great lesson! More of this please. Pure gold.

I've been playing slide for over 50 years. I toured with a Hawaiian Show Band in the early 70's. I'd sometimes tune to a 6th. It would give that Hawaiian sound. No one ever taught me anything on guitar, I developed a bad habit of putting the slide in my middle finger. I can still play chords with it on though. One trick many people don't know, I usually tune my bottom string to a "D". It gives that 'Allman' type tone without changing your whole tuning.

As soon as you said, "Now, I'll play some pentatonic blues over major", I started laughing out loud on the bus. Tom Britt, beautiful player. Aloha from Hawaii

Amazing insights! Thank you, Uncle Larry.

thanks for taking the time to do this. your well never seems to go dry. thats very cool.

Thank you Tom, this is a super helpful video. Love the concept of practicing finger independence with the slide on! Great advice!!

just..... gorgeous! that opening practically makes me cry.....

This is one of your all time best episodes in so many ways.

Thanks man, took a work break to view this. You hit ALL of the important slide issues I have. One of the most useful Homeskoolin' lessons simply because few people ever really talk about or teach slide nuances. Not that I am huge slide fan (much less player), but the country band I am in (first time doing mostly country) keeps asking me to do more slide and about the only slide I did prior was stuff like Tush.

That’s damn good !

Always fantastic, thanks so much Uncle Larry. This should be appreciated by everybody that comes here. Thank you

Gorgeous melody as per usual from the King of melodic lines..😍

Tom - Blind Willie Johnson and Willie McTell come to mind

Fantastic insights Uncle Larry, and sure going to apply. Good thing i only ever wanted to sound like myself....cause i sure haven't ever been good enough to sound like an exact copy of a great!.

George Harrison became a great slide player. His own unique style and tone. “How Do You Sleep” is one of the best slide performances ever recorded. Great tone on the white Strat.

Great video Tom. Beyond the technical stuff, the big takeaway for me is to not be embarrassed to take lessons as an adult. So many of my favorite players talk about lessons in interviews, etc... There's always something to learn. Have a great afternoon.

Tom: Thank you for a wonderful slide lesson for us all, a great topic and it’s helps very much. Every video you produce and music choice you play is very helpful to us. Heard your beginning comments on a writer that writes to you maybe with a negative bias? They could be a troubled person. You have so much to give and you deliver it to us, to help us. A friend told me once, “be like a duck let the water roll right off your back”. Because >110K subscribers can’t be wrong. Thank you for everything you do for us all.

Derek plays slide like he's playing trombone! SO musical. I really appreciated you comments about not copying our heroes. Keep up the good work!

Love slide!! Ever since I heard "Dust my Broom" from Live at Fillmore East in 1972 when I was 13

Tom, you know it's not that easy for us mere mortals. 😂 You're such an amazing player. You're my favorite channel, there's no one else out there with your level of knowledge, yet and so down to earth.

I didn't hear what you said in between jams...and then suddenly heard the awful sounds of pentatonic over major...i quickly rewound to hear the introduction...of course.. Uncle Larry making comedy on the guitar...that is funny stuff. THANKS BUK!!! Love it

Hey Tom, I got home to a cool package today. I opened up my copy of In Stereo, put it in my stereo, and listened to you and GT in stereo. Totally awesome from front to back.

Good ep 👌

Great lesson Tom! And over the years have seen Jack Pearson play long slide passages with his eyes wide-shut... :)

Thanks UL for the slide lesson. You covered the basics and they are 90% of the difficulty for me. And thanks for not getting into the fray about which finger to use with the slide.

Breeeliant episode Sir. The speed and accuracy of the “pick tuck” in the transition from “fingers to slide” was some weapons grade stuff. I’m constantly floored by “some guy in his kitchen giving free guitar lessons”. As always, thanks for the data.

I'm learning the missed notes in-between these styles. Time seems to be learning tool for this , which gives so much character. Tone , Touch , feel. I'm still diggin the channel. Inspirational as alway's

You are a funny man, brother Tom.

Sick video sir

Salut Tom ! Tom Britt is a great player he is a friend a great painter, artist, too!

Never seen Ramen Noodles shaped like a Doggo. Gonna be a great week.

That was great Tom…..

Thanks for the lesson Tom! Great tips! I dabble like a hack with a slide but appreciate the art form. Slide to me was Ry Cooder, Jessie Ed Davis and Duane Allman, Rory Gallagher, David Lindley, Johnny Winter, Lowell George and Bonnie Raitt.. and much later Derrick Trucks.Derrick can play anything with a slide...he can play almost eastern Indian ragas with the damned thing...that man is mind blowing....

5-Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Some great practice recommendations for slide contained within! Thanks. If you have not done one previously, would love to a similar segment on the aforementioned Ebow.

Your slide style really reminds me of how Marc Ford does it, love it

I finally got your CD today! It took almost 3½ weeks to get here but it was worth the wait!

Timely slide tips. I’ve been playing slide for most of the 50+ years I’ve been playing guitar. It comes and goes, but just this week decided to refurbish the slide playing. Thanks.

Tom you gave some of the best advice about playing slide that seen. Especially about playing in tune and how slide position is the key and use your ears is so important. Homeskoolers should check out Sony Landerth in Congo Square just do it.

Love how your melodies are instantly recognisable, if that is how that word is spelled..

❤ready for I-5. But never ready to leave my sanctuary here

For the curious, Tom Britt has a solo album or two. One of ‘em is called Elevator Man. Really cool record. Check it out.

Thanks Uncle Larry for your immense knowlege and insight..im still afraid of bouncing off the frets and flaming off the rails though 😂😂😂

It’s kinda crazy. As amazing as Larry is as a player, I find that lately I am coming for the talking part more than the playing. 4:06 my favorite moment of wisdom.

5:18 a KILLER slide lick, I tried it immediately and it feels fantastic. And actually 5:12 also a tasty little slide lick when Uncle Larry shows us how NOT to bend the slide!! :D Even that sounds perfect. Thank you for everything you do once again!

Electro Harmonix Freeze pedal is fun for slide too.

Way cool Tom! One of your better posts!

Okay that was actually HUGE for me to hear you say you do not mute behind the slide. As a casual slide player I have always been led to believe you have to do that and I have never been that good at it. Great video

Man that was some sweet Betts / Allman slide ..

I dont know if you look forward to making these Tom but I sure do look forward to them.

As we say, better sharp than out of tune.

I was watching Bonnie Raitt the other day and noticed her slide is on her middle finger. Seems to help her voice chords over the slide finger. She's got a strong pinky

Good Mornin'
