Your pitch is NUTS man. I’m gonna try a hand at the hybrid slide style you’re doing. I love how Greg Koch uses his bird finger for the slide, but how you manage with the pinky is awesome!

I HOLD SLIDE BETWEEN PALM AND LITTLE FINGER IN PICK HAND I CAN GET A LOT OF SOUNDS. NICE SOUND.

You are certainly fit to call your self a Tutor. Your whole instruction is well thought through. Speaking as someone who was playing a guitar a long while before you were born - reaching 55 years experience now - and also a guy who has rarely bothered with slide-guitar, I can tell you, You KNOW your stuff. Thank you. I am learning a lot here.

That intro was BAD ASS!!!!! Gives me chills.

As an old fogey guitarist who has never been able to nail slide, I have to say "nIce lesson"! Subbed so I don't have to search for your excellent content. Cheers Dylan.

I'm all in. What a world we live in. To get this quality of teaching for free? Thank you my brother! Godspeed!

What a world where “we” can get teaching like this for free? Speak for yourself bud. Yeah! Isn’t it great how society has evolved a gig economy where things run on the honor system but also allows freeloaders easier ways to take advantage!? You can bet that Dylan here didn’t wake up one day only to realize that his life’s calling was to give away all his knowledge and hard work for free to people such as yourself. You’re that guy who was proud of ripping off musicians on Napster back in the day because you could, and you’re the guy who’ll say, “Isn’t this a great world where “we” can get high quality restaurant food delivered right to our house and not have to tip!” What a DB thing to say to an artist and his nearly 12k subscribers, honestly smh. Oh but after absorbing his content and learning from him you did take a moment to type him a Godspeed, I’m sure he considers that the equitable trade of value that makes this all worth it!

​@@LeashMechanic chill out. Dylan can perfectly decide for himself if he wants to give this lesson away for free and there are many reasons for this, from altruistic to commercial. Enjoying this doesn't make you a freerider.

By far, the best "nuts and bolts" video on playing side.

That was a VERY impressive lesson Dylan. After more than 40 years playing I still haven't developed any real slide skill because I just didn't know how. Now I feel like I do! Glad I found you, GIMME MORE!!

As I get older (I'm 55), guitar is becoming tougher and tougher on my hands after years of abuse. I've been getting into slide, specifically standard-tuning slide using my pinky, and you've been my inspiration. Really enjoying it so far, and it's so much easier on my fingers to play this way (I haven't done much behind-the-slide fingering, though). Great stuff and I look forward to more. Rhett made a hell of a find in you.

Have watch a lot of lessons and not just on how to play slide. This is right up in top 10 of all time. Super organized, concise and laden with experience. Thanks

Thank you Dylan. I just found this vid and wanted to tell you that I have been struggling with slide, in all tunings to make music and you just gave me a couple of great keys to fun playing. My practice guitar was already in open G, my favorite slide, a brass closed-end model at hand, and your explanation and demonstration of why fingers on strings and thumb on back are important along with "the box" have given me hours of pleasure and a new beginning. Again, thank you.

This is the first slide lesson I have seen and I’m not sure I need another one until I can get through this info. Wish me luck! Thank you for the quality lesson.

I can't t thank you enough for this. I hope this becomes a series. Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Difficult to teach in short form, but well thought out and expressed. Kudos. Slide is linear, like piano, if that helps anyone coming from keys. Especially in open tunings. The thought pattern is transferable.

I’ve been playing guitar for 20 years and have avoided slide like the plague. Now I’m trying to gig in Nashville and this is pretty much a requirement. So here I am. Thank you sir, there was so much gold in this video.

Best slide tutorial I've ever seen. Love your playing!

Great lesson! Excellent teaching.

So happy this came out!! Thank you for posting!!!

Amazing. Short, sweet and all the basics right there! TY Dylan!

I've played slide a little and wow. I feel enlightened after 15 minutes of watching this video. I am happy to say I knew some things but you've helped fill in a lot of gaps. 💡

Awesome man, thank you for this video! So helpful and great insights. Keep em coming please!🔥

Second video of yours I’ve watched - as a newbie just diving into slide, I really appreciate your approach and guidance. You’ve got a new subscriber - thanks for keeping it real! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Superbly done, Dylan. Extremely helpful!

Dylan - wow. You are a great teacher! I learned a ton. Been playing guitar for some years at this point but didn't spend any of my early days working slide guitar techniques. Now, I am feeling the spirit. Found your video and just got a ton to take away and work with. THANK YOU for taking the time to provide this. Subscribed!

Thanx for posting this! Crashed into slide a while ago with no instruction. Had a lot of fun with it but never got it clean & right. Watchin this helped tremendously. You do a great job of presenting the material. Lookin forward to more posts from you. Rock on

I have been waiting for years that kind of content. I've always loved slide guitar but found it to daunting and now i'm gonna try myself at it and be patient. Thank you Dylan you're the man!!

There’s some great stuff in here. ‘Learn scales vertically on each string’ was such a lightbulb moment for me! It’s really bringing me great new sounds. Thanks for this! Looking forward to more content.

Great lesson and fantastic playing! I needed a push to get the slide out again and this did it. I'll be watching again and checking your other vids out. Thanks!

Such a great video! Please keep them coming!

Awesome stuff! Love your playin!!!

Honestly watching your videos inspired me to try some slide playing, and I was struggling with pretty much everything you covered in this video. Excellent job covering everything in a simple and succinct manner. Very grateful that you are so willing to share your experience and knowledge!

I've never really figured out how to play slide in any useful way, so I've stuck to "normal" playing for all my life. In this video you are covering so many of the questions usually completely glossed over elsewhere, like actually talking about the finger/slide fit itself, something I've *never* seen before. It's always at best "find one which fits you". But here, finally.. I already knew that the ones I bought in the past were useless, but I had also never found any good explanation of how to pick one (at most it was about glass vs brass vs whatever - and that doesn't help anyone). Thanks a lot! And all the other useful tips. I'll give it another try now. Subscribed.

what a piece of gold your Chanel is! Thank you - I am just learning this and did not know a single thing about this! :D Now I will look at all your tutorials! 😍

After the intro of this I’m already hooked. Awesome playing man

Thanks so much for this Dylan. All these years I've been struggling to get a consistent tone when using a slide, but the trick you showed here with curling your finger inside the slide was such an epiphany for me. Game changer! My tones are already sounding better and I can go for the notes with confidence. Thanks a million! Cheers from Norway, Thor (PS! New subscriber of course).

I'm just gettting started on the slide/blues journey. This is a really well done lesson, thanks.

Very good, straightforward lesson. 👏👏👏

Excellent Video Dylan! I found you on Insta a few months ago. I love checking out how slide players approach their way of playing. I wish you well!

Picked up a slide just recently. I feel like you just helped me pass months of the learning curve. Keep doing what you do! You connect.

This is awesome. Been playing for 25 years and just recently decided to pick up slide and these lessons are so helpful. Big thx!

Awesome vid! Just learning slide...and guitar in general. Pretty much answered all the questions i had! Thanks! You sound awesome! Great tips!

Great lesson. Thanks for posting this. Straight forward and to the point.

Thank you! Very complete intro and explanation of the basics in slide playing.

Dylan, this video is phenomenal! Thank you so much for making it, so much useful advice here. This should be required watching for anyone starting out with slide guitar. You’re a great teacher.

Thank you! Excellent video! 👍👏👏👏

Perfect starting slide video!!! Thanks again Dylan! 🙏🙏

Wow best video I've ever seen on slide guitar. Maybe I can finally learn to play slide. Its always been so intimidating but I love the sound of it. Thanks for such detailed instruction!

What an excellent lesson Dylan. I’ve been a Prog/shred player all my life but now venturing into serious slide. Always used slide as more of an effect in parts of my own compositions, ala David Gilmour. Really enjoying your playing buddy.

IMHO Gilmour used slide as far more than effect, especially when on lap steel.

A really great lesson. Clear and concise. I learned a lot from this. Thanks.

Dylan, I picked up slide a few months ago and you have totally helped me with so many things. I play only in standard as well and use a “preachin pipe”. I’m sure you know what it is, but if you don’t, it’s a nicely weighted tapered brass slide. I’ve tried open tunings, but standard is great because I’ve learned SO much about the fret board. I’m finding notes all over the place now. Thanks man.

What a Helpful time this is! Thank You!

Very nice lesson Dylan, thanks. I really enjoy your playing also- would love to hear more

A free masterclass on beginning slide guitar! So timely, I was just playing around with my slide last night!

Great info given. Just starting to learn slide, and your tutorial best I've come across thus far. Thanks

Dylan that was a excellent lesson. I’ve been trying for a while to get comfortable on slide and not getting far. I especially liked your explanation of the pros and cons of open versus tuning. I think I that is where I was aimlessly exploring but not moving forward. You provided me with a clearer path than I have seen before. Thank you so much!

Excellent Tutorial, Dylan,

Thank you so much for posting this video Dylan! I'm so glad I found you here on KZread... Saw some of your shorts and TikToks! I was absolutely floored by your playing. I love the hybrid playing as well as your note choices are a just so dreamy. I'm so excited to get started playing slide the with all your tips. Thanks again!

Man this was such a great tutorial.very clear and easy to understand and made a lot of sence . I’ve been playing open D for years and I’m very excited to grab a slide and see where that leads . This video was the perfect start I needed and has explained everything that a slide beginner should know . Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge I’m very appreciative🥇

It’s crazy to see your slide on scale so intune dead on! I learned so much from this video thank you so much!

Great video Dylan, I did pretty much know this stuff but never hurts to recap and confirm. You have a good teaching style, getting to the nuts and bolts without much waffle. Looking forward to more from you breaking down how you play slide

Awesome man. You break it all down.

Hey Dylan, Awesome video man. Been waiting on this one from you for sure. I played slide when I was younger but fell off with it and you've inspired me to pick it back up. Your intonation is dead on, super impressive. Can't wait to see more videos and hopefully catch you with smokestack ASAP.

Nicely done Dylan.

Love this man. I love playing slide in standard also. It just feels right for me. You’re awesome!

Thank you❤ best beginner slide lesson yet.

Thanks Dylan. Much appreciate you man!

Great basics instruction! Thank you!

thank you so much Dylan. I've been playing guitar for decades but have just recently picked up a slide. Much more difficult than I expected, for an experienced guitar player. I WILL learn this and I WILL learn because of your videos. thanks again!!!

Awesome content Dylan, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the no-nonsense quick start guide. I have picked up and put down the slide a couple of times in my life. Gonna pick it up again and I feel like I have a better understanding of the basics that I didn't before.

Excellent and clear

Great vid. Answered a lot of questions for me.

Great lesson and video! Clear explanation and nice teaching. I especially liked the detail on the right hand muting, that has always been harder for me to pick up from videos.

Unbelievably great lesson. I'm going home and tuning my guitar to open D and start learning. You are a great teacher. Thank-you!!!!

You rock Dylan! Great video, thank you for sharing!

Now that's some mighty fine guitar playin', my friend.

Great lesson man. Thanks again for sharing.

Great video !! Thanks for all the thorough information 👍🏻

Great stuff. You are a good teacher.

Great lesson! I’ll be tuning in for more!

Love your tone and control. Keep up the good work!

Great lesson Dylan. Thank you!

You're a good teacher, and a fine player. Thanks for taking the time.

Loved the intro lick! Great vid!

Fantastic Lesson !!! You are an inspiration for me to start playing slide again. Thank you for your expertise and skill

Great tutorial. Needed this. Thanks!

Dude is amazing! Thank you!

Thank you, Dylan - I've been in love with the sound and effects of slide guitar for over 50 years, but never had a glimmering of how you can even make a start. Your presentation was very clear, covered all the details which I'd never have given a second thought - such as, which finger do you put the slide on! - and provided all that the most novice guitarists need to make a start.

Great dynamics! Love that guitar and your tone is crazy sick.

Fantastic teaching skills Sir, keep it up. For years I wanted to play slide and know nothing about playing any instruments and can't even read music sheets but hec I'm still motivated after seeing your lesson on slide! Maybe one day I will finally buy a guitar and start sliding even if I just make some noise sounding good to me.

Great lesson. Generous and humble. Thanks.

Really enjoyed this, thanks!

Outstanding lesson and really sweet slide tone….thanks! 👏👏
