Creative Chord Vocab for Slide Guitar

One of the BIG challenges we face as One Finger Guitarists is how to play chords effectively (other than just laying the slide across a number of strings on one fret).
On the surface we’re quite limited…

But what if we could create all the sounds we want with less notes?

And make use of the characteristic sound of the slide?

Well we can!

What's Included?

A comprehensive PDF eBOOK laying out the main concepts and containing all voicings used in the course

4 FULL-LENGTH VIDEOS covering:

In this course, we’re going to explore in detail how we can use a pair of notes to create a chord sound. And ultimately, the sound of any chord….

From this course, you'll learn how to

  • get unlimited access to any chord sound when playing slide guitar

  • outline the sound of any chord without removing the slide

  • understand how to throw in chords in between soloing phrases

“Creative Chord Vocab for Slide Guitar” is broken into 3 main parts:

Theory / Thinking
We’ll look at the three main types of chord, how to relate one note to a chord, relating pairs of notes to a chord (or any root note) and explore guide tones, extensions and alterations.

Technique
We’ll look in detail at how to use both hands effectively to avoid injury and play cleanly.

Application
We’ll explore a variety of chord voicings and look at how to apply these and the principles to a couple of common progressions.

BONUS Video
As a bonus, I have also included a video detailing application of these and some more advanced concepts over Duke Ellington's "In a Sentimental Mood".

To make this as accessible to as many people as I can, I’m in standard tuning, with the slide on my 4th finger, but the principles apply to any tuning and, best of all, what I'm talking about doesn't just apply to slide guitar, or even guitar :-)

    (Scott Henderson, legendary US jazz/blues/fusion guitarist)

  • “Dylan's approach to slide guitar and playing music on the guitar in general is everything I like about the learning music on this crazy instrument. Accessible, inspiring, challenging and boundary-pushing. Of course I love the way Dylan sounds but not everyone that sounds great are inspiring teachers. Dylan is."

    (Alex LoSardo - Professional Musician, London)

  • "In a short period of time my slide playing showed incredible improvement under Dylan's patient and insightful tuition. An awesome teacher. I will benefit from his lessons for the rest of my guitar-playing career."

    (Darrell Oosterbeek - Guitarist, Auckland)

  • "Dylan's an expert at the slide technique and has been incredibly helpful and patient teaching me the core fundamentals to get started. I've found my slide playing has greatly improved and I've really enjoyed the course, starting with the basic principals and then playing along to songs to master the art! I highly recommend Dylan as a teacher."
