Brilliant performance. I played it last night at a minor league team and this was definitely and inspiration

Ooo man you can talk and talk, that is sure thing

I Love and Love and Love this lesson. The BEST ever!!!!!!! OMG I feel like I won the lottery!! Thank you so much 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I wonder where are you now? I wish I could meet you or see you playing.

You are THE BEST instructor plus musician. Thank you so much. I stared playing slide 35 years ago, my older brother’s friend taught me. Omg I’m so old now. But I never continued until I found you here in this video. You inspired me to pick up my slide and just focus on slide so I can play more blues. Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🎸🎸

Gorgeous.

Jules w/ an SG playing Jeff Beck? YES - we need this!

SICK LOVE IT!!

I got to see Jeff play this live a few months before he passed. Thanks for the awesome slide version

You killed it once again Jules jeez!

Yes Sir, you nailed that. Thx Jules

Wow, that's crazy JUST HOW close to the original one this is, but at the same time it sounds like you because of the slide!

So good! Thanks Jules!

Long lived Hendrix!!!

I really appreciate your video. I grew up watching Van Halen, Eric Johnson, RRhoads. They were my guitar gods. Now I’m 60. Through KZbin and videos like this, I’ve come to appreciate so many guitarists like Beck, Mayer, V. Gill and others. When you take the time to show the nuances that I couldn’t hear, it really opens a whole new world. Thank you!

Fantastic lesson ! New subscriber and thank you for sharing !

🤘👍🏿 Two of my favs in the Silktone and Benson.

“Hey, everyone, this is Jules Leyhe…” My brain: Trailer Park Boys?

How did you decide on Bloomfield vs classic reverb signature? I’m considering one or the other

I was so fixated on your hands at 35:10 that I failed to notice your right leg working the volume pedal. Another lesson learned.

Nice format Jules, and some juicy slide tones to boot 🤠

That was beautiful

Hi Jules!, good to see your videos! My question is, what is your favorite slide to play and why? I like glass, and have heard major differences when I play different types.

I feel internet famous now :)

Wow. I am headed to your Venmo tip jar. Your channel is the oxygen to my emerging slide flame.

Really just started to get into slide guitar…love the blues and this is a style that fits my lead play😢in general…wanted to start out with some delta blues type of music….aka Johnny Winter Bonnie Raitt etc…and of course the Muddy Era and 50 s classic blues man of the slide🎸…so glad I’ve found your site✅

I see a very relaxed right hand. I doubt if I inspected your finger tips I’d find grooves, like mine have after playing for a few minutes. So I should work on a lighter touch. Love the playing, Jules.

I’m repeating myself, but long form conversations like this rule. What a full meal.

At 11:15 when you discuss sliding down and the relative difficulty to sliding up. For me, I know why sliding down is more difficult at first: I cannot see the destination fret clearly, especially in the region of the 12th fret, because the other fingers obscure it. When sliding up, I have a clear view of the destination and can coordinate eyes and hand. No such immediate advantage when reversing that move.

Great lessons! Do you do group or private lessons? Thank you

Slide guitar is the story of the right hand.

There is so much going on across all Jules’s videos that one could live here exclusively and emerge a slide guitarist in a year or so.

Jules, at 11:40, that B on the 12th fret. When I pluck that B it sounds like a guitar. When you do it, it sounds like a theramin. Can you talk about how you do that, either here or in a dedicated video to this ethereal effect? ❤

The drill that starts at 3:09 is one I do every day now for 3 months. It has a lot to give, including, at least for me, an awareness of a light touch on the strings. If I drill this for 3 minutes and I allow any finger to press too much on its string, a depression or notch begins to develop in the finger. This notch does two things: 1) makes it harder to move because the finger gets hung up, and 2) it makes the picking surface wider because more finger is touching the string. More finger touching at the moment of release means the highs are damped before the finger lifts up and gets out of the way of the string vibration. So my success criteria has become: if there are significant notches in my fingers after 3 minutes, go back and focus on a lighter touch.

I may be underestimating, but there is at least a year of material here for the intermediate player.

Easiest to follow demo. Thank you!

What guitar effects

You have some convincing JB chops Jules. I really appreciated the bit where you talk about him emulating a harmonica player. I hadn;t thought of that, but it's spot on. I have always been aware of Jeff Beck, but I recently watched the video clip of him playing Cause we ended as lovers with Tal & Vinnnie and it totally blew my mind. You really have to watch him to fully appreciate his gift. BTW, what amp/model are you plugged into?

Watch the right hand walking at 3:12-3:15. This goes into my practice tomorrow.

Many life lessons here. Nicely done.

Nice playing. Just fyi. Duane modeled his playing after hearing Jesse Ed Davis' version of Statesboro Blues: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5itc2aYpdaiotE

At 35:14 during that 7 10 12: you pluck only once but you manage to extract so much out of the energy in the string without plucking again. Even at the end of the lick there is still enough energy in the string to keep going. How do you do that?

Jules, I now have the JB Strat and the harmonics are sounding much easier for me. It is so nice to have this model. Thank you. P.S. Star Spangled Banner with a slide ? Your slide is great.

Wath tuning?

The exercise at 3:10 is quite literally the gateway to slide guitar. I start my daily practice with it, and without that pluck and mute control, you just can’t play clean single lines.

Extremely! Your a top rate guitarist and instructor
