About this course
David Hamburger is the real deal; phenom electric slide player, top recording and performing artist and author of several top-ranked instructional books. TrueFire jumped at the opportunity to work with David on Slide Shop, a interactive video course focused solely on electric slide blues guitar.
Slide Shop is a hands-on playing course that will get you up and running with your first tune in less than an hour. Every nuance of electric slide guitar is touched on with a curriculum featuring 10 rhythm grooves, 10 corresponding electric slide solos and several hands full of variations for each theme. You will add a set's worth of electric slide tunes to your repertoire and quickly get a grip on the blues' most expressive style and technique.
Each of the 40 lessons featured in Slide Shop includes two video segments (80 video lessons in total), corresponding jam tracks to practice over, text overview, source links, standard notation and interactive tab.
Most blues players would love to get some slide under their belts but shy away from learning the techniques and open tunings thinking that the process would be too time-consuming and challenging. If this describes you, Slide Shop is your solution.

Hound Dog Rhythm 1
Most slide players tend to play with their fingers instead of a pick. It helps in playing some of the more country
blues-derived rhythm parts, which come straight out of a fingerstyle approach, and playing clean single-note lead lines also
really depends on using a right-hand muting technique involving your thumb and at least two fingers. So even if you feel
inclined to grab a pick, try doing everything with your fingers until it becomes more comfortable.

Hound Dog Rhythm 2
In the early 1970s, Bruce Iglauer founded the Alligator record label for the sole purpose of putting out a record of Hound
Dog Taylor. Taylor was holding down a weekly neighborhood gig in Chicago, churning out good-natured, ragged-but-right boogies
and shuffles backed up by just Brewer Phillips on second guitar and Ted Harvey on drums. Speed this groove up, slow it down
or play it as is, and you've got a handle on Hound Dog's favorite way to pass the time.

Hound Dog Solo 1
This solo owes something to Hound Dog Taylor's Hawaiian Boogie, which in turn owes something to the Hawaiian style of steel
guitar. One theory has it that the original bottleneck guitarists of the 1920s were playing a street-singer's version of the
steel guitar music that swept the nation after the first Hawaiian bands appeared in the States. Rustle up Sylvester Weaver's
1920s Guitar Rag and compare it to Wills' Steel Guitar Rag featuring Leon McAuliffe.

Hound Dog Solo 2
Try to think of each lick you play as a phrase, like a short sentence. Play that one idea, then take a breath before you
make your next statement. And don't be afraid of repeating yourself. As one wit put it, you can't have a theme and variations
if you haven't got a theme. For this solo, there's a lot of repetition, moving a single idea or theme around, from the
twelfth to the fifth to the seventh fret. Try keeping things simple - it worked for Hound Dog.

Another Hamburger
As I own practically all of David Hamburger's courses, I felt it was my duty to also buy this early one. I haven't worked it through yet, but I am sure it is excellent like all the others by this outstanding musician and teacher.
