Electric Slide Guitar
Szkoła gry na gitarze techniką slide. Polega ona na wykorzystaniu w grze metalowej lub szklanej (stąd inna nazwa techniki - bottleneck) tulejki, którą grający zakłada na trzeci palec lewej ręki. Dociśnięcie nią struny daje efekt charakterystycznego wibrującego dźwięku znanego choćby z gitary hawajskiej. Do publikacji dołączona jest płyta CD z nagranymi przykładami poszczególnych ćwiczeń i przykładów.
This book/audio method explores the basic fundamentals of slide guitar: from selecting a slide and proper setup of the guitar, to open and standard tuning. Plenty of music examples are presented showing sample licks as well as backup/rhythm slide work. Each section also examines techniques and solos in the style of the best slide guitarists, including Duane Allman, Dave Hole, Ry Cooder, Bonnie Raitt, Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter and Elmore James.
