Speaking with Slide Guitar (JamPlay)

What if your guitar could speak as expressively as your own voice? In Speaking with Slide Guitar, world-renowned slide master Ariel Posen shows you exactly how to make that happen. This course is all about transforming your slide playing into something vocal, lyrical, and full of emotion—whether you're playing in standard or open tunings.

Through over 50 deeply focused lessons, Ariel breaks down the foundations of great slide technique and builds your vocabulary in both standard and open tunings using major, minor, and pentatonic scales. He guides you through articulation techniques like vibrato, intonation, and dynamic control, so your notes don’t just sound right—they feel right. You’ll learn how to play behind the slide, incorporate double stops and drones, and apply tasteful phrasing to your improvisation so that your playing becomes conversational, not mechanical.

Beyond technique, Ariel teaches you how to tap into your own musical instincts. You'll learn how to connect what's in your head to what comes out of your amp, building a more intuitive and expressive approach to the slide guitar. Whether you're refining your tone, creating lyrical licks, or improvising in real time, Ariel helps you break past the technical into the truly musical.

This course is your gateway to playing with greater feeling, nuance, and individuality. If you’ve ever wanted your guitar to sing the way you hear it in your heart, Speaking with Slide Guitar will get you there.
