Amazing Slide Guitar Tips And Tricks With Songwriter And Slide Master Joey Landreth

[@Grant_Ferstat]

I really think Joey is likely to go down as a great. His writing, playing and singing are ALL of such a high caliber.

[@BrettPapa]

For sure!

[@datkinson31]

He’s referring to Mike Henderson, Nashville writer and player. Played Open C and has some great blues albums from the 90s with his band The Bluebloods on Dead Reckoning label.

[@tszegvary]

Brett - I am just amazed by your high profile guests. Thanks for sharing them with us!

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing Thomas!

[@gbarge4]

Man, Brett. You've been in a vein of pure gold. Uncle Larry, GT and now Joey. Joey is as fantastic a human being as he is a player. Everyone would do very well to track the Bros. Landreth tour schedule and get out to see them. Always great. (And wear your That Pedal Show tee shirts...) -G

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking it out! Glad you liked it!

[@blindboy1787]

Lovely playing, thanks from NZ

[@ampersandmcvinegar5681]

Joey is unbelievable. Humble and great at the same time.

[@BrettPapa]

Agreed!

[@j_drichmond]

Using open tunings and feeling out the major scale has been profound in my awareness of the fretboard… specifically related to C6 tunings and lap steel-it should have been obvious long ago that the relative minor of the IV is a ii and V a iii. Joey has been such an inspiration getting me on my slide journey.

[@RebelTheUncanny1]

Good, good stuff! I just recently decided to apply myself to slide playing after years of putting it off, so I've been devouring all the knowledge I can on the subject. This is the ticket. You rock, Papa-stacheless.

[@BrettPapa]

Haha thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@toploadtele]

5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Once again Papa delivers the goods. This lesson will turn on some lightbulbs around the world!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Thanks for checking it out!

[@bubbatheking9225]

Thankyou for this wonderful interview! The guy talked about at the beginning of this video is Mike Henderson Nashville monster at Bluebird every Monday night the past 30 years

[@BrettPapa]

You are welcome. Good to know! Got to see if I can check him out sometime.

[@SergioAureo]

It is always fantastic to listen to Joey play. Such a talent. And it's amazing how humble he is. A great guy, indeed.

[@BrettPapa]

Agreed!

[@mikek771]

My gf bought a zoom guitar lesson from Joey for my birthday. What you saw here is exactly how he is. Knowledgeable without being a snob. Very humble and personable!

[@BrettPapa]

For sure. Super down to earth.

[@kane6529]

Marry that woman 🤩

[@BrightyChannel]

Mike Henderson is "the local guy who plays at the Bluebird" I believe. Look him up he's a great songwriter, artist and musician

[@deluxerev]

Henderson passed away yesterday. Check out his blues records. Mike Henderson and the Bluebloods. I know of 2 albums. First Blood and Thicker than Water.

[@nilsx3020]

How exciting to see Joey on your show, especially in your well produced setup. You’re on a roll, Uncle Larry, Guthrie, Joey. Can’t wait to see the Bros. Landreth in September.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! More great people coming soon!

[@KelsterVonShredster]

Some of the best practical advice I've ever heard on how to learn slide from a fellow Canadian no less.....great video Brett !!!!! Love your channel, keep up the great work and great guests!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks so much for watching! Glad you liked the vids!

[@liquidsolids9415]

Joey’s mindfulness comment was huge, and the stuff about playing on one string. Fantastic interview, as usual. Thank you! 🎸🤘

[@BrettPapa]

You are welcome!

[@AlexandredeSanti]

These in-depth chats are outstanding. Thanks, Brett!

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing!

[@WhitAnderson70]

Joey is freaking amazing. Thanks for bringing us this!

[@BrettPapa]

Yes he is!

[@kerwoodspruce]

Thank you, Brett, for bringing in talent from north of the 49th! Masterminds from everywhere. What a beautiful community -- and gift for your followers. Joey Landreth is a revelation and a delight and clearly is blessed with a curiosity that is bred in the bone for many a player who knows that Winnipeg has given the world some of the most influential guitarists ever. Congratulations on all of it, Joey Landreth!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@SharpEdgeStandardOfficial]

Wow! This guy is amazing!!! His tone is incredible holy crap! That intro was out of this world! Definitely gonna check more of this dude out!

[@BrettPapa]

For sure! Joey is awesome!

[@davidharding200]

I went with Holy Cow, but Holy Crap seems a reasonable response too

[@thebrysmith3]

Just picked my G&L Tribute Fallout that I had set up for slide ( in Open C of course). Well played, Algorithm.

[@BrettPapa]

Haha it knows all!

[@rareform6747]

Amazing Grace is wonderful on slide or maxed out heavy lead with drone ... Joey has so much soul in his playing !

[@BrettPapa]

For sure!

[@lewisbeeman]

I really hope I am able to see Joey Landreth live some day. He is my favorite guitar player and his music is all I’ve been listening to since I was exposed to him.

[@BrettPapa]

He is fantastic live!

[@edtweed5e4-a]

One of the greats right there, such a great songwriter, singer and instantly recognizable guitar player

[@BrettPapa]

For sure. Fantastic talent and super cool to top it off.

[@scallywag1654]

Way cool! I'm going to see the Landreth Bros and Robben Ford this Friday!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Sounds like a great show.

[@ldf399]

That Tone. phenomenal.

[@BrettPapa]

Yeah it sounded great. REVV makes some good stuff!

[@Sammywhat]

Joey never disappoints! An absolute master of the slide... and a heck of a great guy!! Thanks for having him out Brett!! 🙏

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing! Thanks for watching!

[@martinmcgimpsey9750]

Beautiful slide work! Brett, I got to hand it to you! I totally enjoyed it! One of my favorite guitar players was Duane Allman! Love the slide! Very cool!

[@BrettPapa]

Glad you liked it!

[@kevinallman6700]

Another fantastic lesson Brett..been a subscriber for about a year now and it was you who unlocked the caged system for me and since then I've been flying.. I don't think we realize how much work goes into each lesson until we see behind the scenes and the people involved..that quote saying the harder you work the luckier you get sums you up perfectly.. you have unlocked the fretboard for me, improved my musicianship and now I am playing songs I never thought I could.. thank you from the bottom of my heart, my cup overflows with gratitude dude..♥️♥️♥️I have told friends to check you out and they feel the same.. peace joy and happiness to you and your family ♥️

[@BrettPapa]

That's so awesome! Thanks so much Kevin!

[@horizonishere]

Joey is such an inspiration to the joy of playing

[@BrettPapa]

Yep for sure!

[@danmills8521]

Omg that intro!!!! Seriously wtf that scared the shit out of me

[@BrettPapa]

Joey is pretty freakin awesome!

[@bobbyfernandez5715]

no matter what that guy do on the fretboard it sounds like music. very enjoyable moment. Thx Brett.

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing Bobby!

[@kevinmacleod8479]

Saw Joey at the beginning of his tour. Such a great show. Thanks for this amazing conversation!

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing!

[@timothy5974]

Thank you. Been a fan of Joeys for a while. Have a few Rock Slides and really love the sound.

[@12footchain]

Loved this! Thank you. How effin' cool is that open C tuning. Loved the interplay with you both

[@BrettPapa]

It sounds amazing!!

[@davidharding200]

Holy cow. Amazing

[@BrettPapa]

Glad you liked it!

[@waynegram8907]

BRETT PAPA< I don't know how Joey Landreth does certain chords because he will angle/tint the slide + fret behind the slide to make let say a Dom7 or Dom7#9 chord. Try to make your own slide guitar lesson video about these angle/tint the slide + fret behind the slide type chords because I don't know how to do them really or what their chord names are.

[@SunnyvilleMusic]

YES! Awesome! So glad you got Joey on! Are there more Joey videos coming?

[@BrettPapa]

We will see. He is a busy cat! Hopefully though.

[@1111MJR]

Re: the ‘how long does it take for an intermediate player to get good (ish) on slide?’ question 30:00 it’s taken me two years and all the lockdowns. I’m no Derek (or Joey) but I ain’t bad. Well, y’know, I no longer sound like a kitten fell into a well with a wasps’ nest in it and it even almost sounds like music.

[@Boris_Chang]

You guys are a hoot! Very informative and entertaining throughout. Kudos.

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

[@johnpandolfino8663]

I'm old enough to have seen Duane Allman play live 3 time's before he passed .....he to me along with Jack Pearson are and were the best slide players in modern day rock and blues..... Along of course with Elmore and Muddy...who wrote the book

[@BrettPapa]

Agreed!

[@IamtheActionman]

Awesome! A fellow CANUCK. Smokin player.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking it out Darryl!

[@WTF-Cubing]

My personal recommendation on who to start with on slide: George Thorogood. Simple slide songs in open G that are fun and people know them.

[@BrettPapa]

Yep that is a great place to start.

[@rossbyron]

Thank you for dropping knowledge will be working on these tips shortly papa stach is Da Man

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking it out Ross!

[@robbramwell512]

Joey is a treasure! Thanks!

[@BrettPapa]

Yes he is!

[@friendsmakingmusic1751]

Thanks for this. after playing slide for 50 years in open E and never having played a fretted instrument, his explanations reinforce how little I know! I will try to work more on half steps. Rick Vito is a great slide player you should check out as well. Thanks again.

[@BrettPapa]

Will do.

[@martinmcgimpsey9750]

Very cool Brett! Very cool! Love your video’s, Dude! Keep them coming!

[@BrettPapa]

Will do!

[@rollywells6404]

The guy with the open C tuning is Mike Henderson. Check him out and his band The Bluebloods. Great stuff and great slide playing!

[@BrettPapa]

Awesome! Will do!

Thanks!

Such a great interview! Thanks so much!

[@BrettPapa]

You are welcome!

[@mudflapking]

Great video with Joey, Brett~!!! This is actually a way better slide masterclass than the '"masterclass" video he did for premier guitar a few years ago. Thanks for the content here.

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing! Glad you liked it. Thanks for checking it out.

[@ckjjclan]

Oh.. my god. It sounds like how I feel drinking a cold beer after mowing the lawn - so much better than so good. Damn that sounds is fantastic.

[@BrettPapa]

Mindful playing is the ticket!

[@BrettPapa]

Absolutely!

[@argus8888]

Any chance of an Uncle Larry/Brother Joey session at Brett's? Thx so much for this.

[@BrettPapa]

Haha that would be amazing. It's tough because Joey is only in town every once in a while.

[@thexnewyorker7284]

Truly Amazing !!!!!

[@BrettPapa]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for tuning in!

[@craiger2399]

Is it just me, or does the "sliding in and out of notes" section 21:11 sound like Aretha Franklin's vocal mannerisms? Love this lesson. Amazing artist!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking it out. I'm not sure but it is very vocal like.

[@jamfactory4119]

You cats stimulate the inner most reaches of my cranium. Thank you.

[@BrettPapa]

Haha! Glad we can do that for ya!

[@gerinsindanight]

Great video Thanks! He says he plays in Open C, but It's not really open c? right? the sound doesen't much that: 1 string - E4 (the thinnest) 2 string - C4 3 string - G3 4 string - C3 5 string - G2 6 string - C2

[@BrettPapa]

Not sure exactly but I sure he talks about it somewhere. Thanks for checking out the vid!

[@PastaPatate]

Great stuff. I’d love to see another Rob Mcnelley.

[@BrettPapa]

Yep I have been trying to get him on but he is in high demand in the session world.

[@dannynelson1375]

Love the Tele Brett! Who’s the builder?

[@BrettPapa]

Nash. 60's style.

[@goswo]

I cant handle more… Uncle Larry, Guthrie, Kirk and now Massa Joey. This does not suck in any way. Joey and his bro are amazing, they deserve all the love they can get…

[@BrettPapa]

Haha thanks! More awesome players on the way!

@@BrettPapa love your style and stash hahah keep on keeping on

[@richardpierce7819]

When you were playing around the 2 chord it sounded a lot like Eric Johnson , so is that what he does??

[@frankscutari9516]

Quick question, what do you think of Derek Trucks playing? Greg Koch hit on something which I suspected for a long time.

[@BrettPapa]

One of the most terrifying guitarists ever!

[@southpaw335]

Love Joey, and for a non slide player like me (love it but i’m just cr*p at it) there is so much in here to absorb.

[@BrettPapa]

For sure.

[@joebubbit]

Check out Jeremy Spencer with Mick Fleetwood and Friends. That is slide da bomb.

[@BrettPapa]

Cool! Thanks for the tip!

[@joebubbit]

Forgot to give you the link BTW: The 1st 2 Fleetwood Mac albums featuring Jeremy Spencer on slide are great albums for slide enthusiasts to learn some basics. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4TOfGSYl66gfrM

[@thebrysmith3]

Jeremy was big into Elmore James.

[@billpholde4816]

Every time I listen to Brett, my mind is tricked into thinking I'm listening to Matthew McConaughey doing a character.

[@BrettPapa]

Lol

[@soulbrotha4u]

Don’t forget about Roosevelt Collier🔥🚀

[@SharpEdgeStandardOfficial]

Is that intro a part from one of his songs or just an on the fly improv deal?

[@BrettPapa]

On the fly!

[@Dmeador]

Great lesson and now time to play lapsteal

[@BrettPapa]

Sweet! Glad you liked it!

[@salx777]

Killer slide lesson. Do you know what kind of leather strap joey uses on that goldtop?

[@BrettPapa]

Not sure on that one. Glad you liked the lesson. Thanks for watching!

[@MadBallshorts]

Think he used to use a Moodys (iirc) strap from the UK I think....

[@reggieupchurch1258]

I dont know the guy who inspired him, but he sounds like Derek trucks big time.

"The American Scale Notes" Hahaha

Open C is for cookie, and that's good enough for me...

[@sethradnothy8875]

I think at some point we all say to ourselves "oh man, play something else". hahaha

Yep for sure

What kind of Les Paul is that?

I am not sure that it is a Les Paul. Check out the headstock in one of the close shots.

[@andyford8359]

If Bonnie cuts your song, you're a big deal!

[@BrettPapa]

Very true!

[@scottyvand]

Sorry guys but standard rules. Although I do love open C. Tuning lower than standard is to helps singers. Lets think..... They have been tuning standard for centuries. They must be wrong. Lets do it this way.

[@BrettPapa]

No rules when it comes to making music. Everyone is entitled to make it however they see fit. That is why there is so much great music out there in so many different tunings. Whatever inspires you to create is the right thing.

[@ricopetrilli1084]

Standard tuning was developed to make the hand fit better in the larger fretboards of spanish guitars. The strings are in perfect fourth intervals except G-B is a major 3rd. Slide or vocals werent even a consideration. A large number, if not most Delta players used open tuning, Elmore James for one.

[@scottyvand]

@@ricopetrilli1084 Thanks for the information. Makes sense.

[@guyincognito320]

Why would you isolate yourself for 2 years because of a bad cold?

[@BrettPapa]

To each their own I suppose. Canada has much different rules as well.
