My slide playing is good if you like hearing every fret knocked

Your the only guitar tuber talking about these specific nerdy, yet crucial ideas for slide! I love it!

Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you. I’ve been playing for over 45 years and while I’ve always loved to listen to slide players, I could never do it myself. Tried so many times and gave up. The simple trick of not putting the slide so low on my finger unlocked it for me. I can’t believe it was so simple. Thank you so much.

This video finally got slide to start working for me, and I am forever thankful to for that!

Very interesting. The thumb position is well explained. Thank you !

Dylan! I’m so grateful man. I got a good rock slide like you suggested, changed strings, and lifted my action just a tad. After only practicing maybe 3 times for 10-15 mins I played slide at my first show last night. I’ve been bingeing your videos and the right and left hand technique you teach set me up for success! Thanks man!

I might have said this before, but this is the beginner slide lesson I have needed for DECADES now! Much love and respect!

Thanks again Dylan. Always appreciate the reminder. Every time I catch my thumb being on the side , even when I am where I have to, I see you grimace

This is the best knowledge Ive ever seen about slide playing!! Foundational teaching at its best!

Absolute gold tips, sir! Both for the way to hold the slide, the left wrist position and for the left thumb position as well... The late Bob Brozman (who knew a thing or two about slide playing) said you should always keep you left hand as if it was holding a little tangerine in the palm.
