James, Lowell George, Bonnie Raitt, Duane Allman, Ry Cooder, Joe Walsh,
Derek Trucks, Ben Harper, Rory Gallagher, Johnny Winter and Sonny Landreth
are just a few of the monster players responsible for putting electric
slide
guitar squarely on the blues and rock map. In fact, the expressive and
"singing" qualities of electric slide guitar make it almost mandatory to
have at least a few tasty and versatile slide chops and techniques in your
bag. TrueFire’s Guitar Lab: Electric Slide will get you up and running
quicker than you can say "Diddley Bow."
TrueFire’s Guitar Lab: Electric Slide from Geoff Hartwell will step you
through all of the mechanics and equip you with an impressive working
vocabulary of electric slide licks and moves. " Aside from being an
outstanding musician and guitar player, Geoff Hartwell’s skills as a
clinician put him at the top of the heap. Geoff’s knowledge and
understanding of the mechanics of slide playing is bullet-proof. The
master-class he conducted was attended by absolute beginners, professional
guitarists and every level in between- No one left empty-handed. Not only do
Geoff’s skills as a slide player put him in an elite group of musicians, but
his ability to break down those skills and demonstrate them in simple,
crystal clear terms make him one of a kind."
Geoff
kicks off this intensive with a thorough run down of right and left hand
techniques, plucking, muting and best practices for navigating the fretboard
and working with scales. Next, you’ll learn how to phrase and articulate
one-note-one-string and one-note-two-string licks. Along the way, Hartwell
gives you a grip on classic moves including "pull licks" and Allman’s now
classic "see-saw" move.
As
you progress through the course, you’ll learn a variety of essential licks
and how to play rhythm with slide, how to work with major and minor chords,
how to "shwonk," how to slap and use harmonics, and how to fret
behind the slide and pull off the "harmonic helicopter" in the style of
slide master Sonny Landreth.
All in all, enough solid material in Guitar Lab: Electric
Slide to move your slide meter to dangerously proficient. |
