Traditional, Country and Electric Slide Guitar (Book and Record)

Learning from this

Early innovative Blues artists put small bottles on their left fingers to make the guitar weep, moan and swoon, often to imitate their voice. Roth is passionate about the sound, showing a beginner how to easily create riffs and play some of the original songs. He loves Robert Johnson the most, there's more of his songs than any other artist, and I can't stop playing "Come On In My Kitchen," the best song IMHO in the book. Each song includes tabs and notes.As a beginner, I found many of the songs too difficult, so I bounced between "Love In Vain," "Dust My Broom," and the song above. I wish that there were more simple songs to play. Intermediate or Advanced players will probably appreciate this book more.My book was used, and didn't include the CD, which might have helped. But all the original songs are available as MP3s.Slide acoustic guitar is transportive, emotional and fun. From the first moment you produce slide note and a vibrato, you'll be hooked. Just do it!

Nice selection of traditional approach to mainly Robert Johnson material in open E(D) and G(A). Best for slide players at moderate to advanced level. Surprised to find out that the included audio music exercises in my version were on an early thin pressed, 33 record page. I converted it to a CD with my ION USB turntable with no trouble. Most of the Johnson material is readily available on iTunes but the other songs are traditional arrangements by Roth.

The book has valuable information for learning this technique. I would have liked more music tracks but the quality of the recording is excellent. I understand this was first published several decades ago. I have used the book every day since it's arrival.

wish the cd would have come with the book

ok

Where to start and where to go after that when your self-taught guitar journey leads you to slide. Requires a turntable to play the flexidisc, but worth finding one.

Somewhat dated but still relevant. An updated version would be nice with better media.

Had a copy years [ 20 ] ago but found it a bit hard to understand as well as small digits on the tab...that was all down to me though but seeing this book in a new light now very informative by one of the leading lights,ps YOU have to work at it time effort will bring rewards.

I really liked a few of the practice pieces from this book. I found it useful to just pick a few of the licks out of the pieces and throw them in with some of the stuff I already knew.

great book and cd ,in as new condition,thought there would be more on cd but only a minor quibble .great value thanks

Just what the doctor order.. As the saying goes

Des bons excersices de Slide guitare en open TuningLes bémols :Tous les exemples et morceaux ne sont pas sur le CDVous en avez quelques uns sur quelques plages mais plusieurs sur une même plage donc mieux vaut noter sur le livre la plage et à combien de minutes ce trouve l'exempleIl aurait été préférable qu'il soit noté sur le livre exemple 1 plage 1 etc...La c'est un peu brouillon, ce n'est pas noté sur le livreSinon plutôt bien il fait reprendre les bases et permet de travailler la précision au Bottleneck
