Super video! I love that SG; a classic set up. I generally play slide guitar on an old Telecaster. I use a standard guitar pick and the middle and ring fingers. I like a pick for any single note stuff, but that's one thing I like about slide, is that everyone's got such a different style.

ÌTHANK YOU , FOR ALL THE INFO, FROM THE TYPES OF SLIDES, TO THE BETTER TUNINGS ( E ). AND THE GIBSON SG'S RAISING AND LOWERING OF STRINGS. THANKS AGAIN!!

I have 4 Duane Allman slides, made from one of Duane Allman's Coricidin bottles. Learned so much from Warren Haynes.

Chris Rea is also a great slide player who uses open E. Great lesson. Thanks

Just coming across this video im a rhythm guitar player and always wanted to learn slide and this was a great video

Just what I’ve been wanting to see. I have my Dot tuned to E, so now I have a teacher🤠🤠

Nice lesson, I play both Lap Steel and bottle neck slide. I picked up some great tips, thanks!

Best lesson on the fundamentals and basics of slide guitar.

Hey, thanks this is just what I needed to get myself goin' with slide guitar, great era, great lessons.

Hey Troy, try a JET SLIDE. You can get it on Musicians Friend and Reverb. I had one, going to get another. It has a Ring for your Finger, then a Brass Bar, but you can get it with Glass on the Front edge as well. It has a little TAB that you can use your other Finger to Hold in place when playing, but you can also play Chords when Not using the Slide. Also, I got this, DIP, a kind of Rubber Goop, and I Dipped, just the Ring PART Into the Goop, about, 3 or 4 Times, to Create a Softer Barrier for the Ring, as it's metal. It worked VERY WELL. I think the Ring size was a little Large for my Finger, so it really Helped.

Great video…I tune to open D, however I will try Open E. The Rock Slide is awesome in regards to sound and comfortable fit (Pinky)!

What a great lesson. The Rolling Stones and Joni Mitchell used Open E without the slide. I prefer Open D with a capo on the second fret when I am not playing slide because your tuning down. But for slide, Open E is preferred and Open G. Thank you for this lesson. Duane Allman was one of the great slide players. You need higher grade strings because your tuning up and don’t want them breaking. But It adds some tension to the neck.

Prefer slide open at both ends, can get very sweaty in there after a while if one end is closed. Great vid, thanks Troy!

Nice tone, perfect for slide.

LovE your videos thank you sir

I wear my slide on my pinky finger also and I have both metal and glass.

Thanks for being.

Yes please. Let’s move on

You are a fantastic teacher, thank you so much!!!

Great lesson….thankyou😊

I use a blue crackle finish ceramic slide which i find really nice not sure of make

Thanks! Also, check out Dylan Adams. Dude is insane with the slide and plays open on a metal tele.

To think i came here from Bocchi the Rock, it truly is a fantastic show

Fantastic thanks 🙏

You could do the same thing w/ a Resonator or Dobro

I wonder what your amp and FX is set to, to get the sound? Thank you

My strings are low I'm building 2 slide guitars in a telecaster version

I'm liking what I'm seeing in this video so far. Are you going to make more videos on your website on Bottleneck Slide Guitar?

Thank you for this lesson. I like Derek Trucks very much and now have the chance, to learn and understand how he creates his incredible sound and solos. Does he play in open E as well or does he prefer another tuning ?

Hi Troy, thanks for your very entailing lessons. I had to go lap steel and slide guitar because of neuropathy in my left hand after playing guitar for a number of years. I can no longer form bar chords and most open chords. In any case, I’ve been working on my lap steel for a couple of years and now feel the need to try some slide guitar. I have an SG and I am looking for a a suggestion from you on an approximate string height measurement for that guitar that may help me to not fret out. Thank you.

Glass sounds way better. I have a short one and that way when not using i can use all fingers. Its about an inch 1/2 long.

Hey nice video Troy. I tried a squier affinity telecaster but it couldn’t hand the heavy gauge strings, the neck has been shifting and just won’t stay in tune. I’m thinking an Epiphone SG with a set neck I won’t have to worry about the neck moving like a bolt on. Is this a Gibson?

Please Troy. Open G bottle neck🤠🇦🇺👍

You talk to much

hey man can't i put a Seymore Duncan pearly gates in a Fender and get the same sound???
