How to Play Slide Like DUANE ALLMAN in Standard Tuning

[@DonTheGuitarGuy]

Awesome, Thanks. so glad I found your channel. After 50 odd years of trying cop Duane's and Dickey's tones and licks, I'll need another fifty years ha. Can't wait to dig into your stuff.

[@lynfox1533]

Excellent video lesson Dylan, so happy there's a teacher like you with a Duane theme running through the site. He seems to be forgotten to often

[@larrypower8659]

Excellent tutorial! The Dickey Betts vid was also outstanding.

[@japokeapeg1648]

I love the idea that a specific scale pattern enables you to start to sound like Duane . I wonder if other artists have their scale patterns too? George Harrison maybe? Great vid, thanks Dylan. There's very little standard tuning slide tutorials about so well done!

[@BrentSends]

Dude so good! Between you and Ben McLeod there are some amazing learning resources on YT to start getting into some Duane slide licks. Thank you!

[@GuitarSwan]

This and the last Dickey lesson were really good, man.

[@blackdeathnapkin]

This is it right here! Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring! And I saw on IG your perfect engagement photos! I wish y'all all of the happiness!

[@Pitsman87]

Really fantastic video !!!! Thank you so much Dylan !!!! So stunning, sounds so great and everything’s about musicality.

[@slyyder24]

Thanks!

[@Dang...]

Dylan, thanks for this excellent video lesson. Your playing is SO clean! Your string muting is so skillful! Can you please make a video lesson like this that details good right hand technique? Thank you for this and all your other videos. So informative.

[@kengouthro]

What a great lesson! Thank you Dylan.

[@michaelmerrullo2043]

Love it! F all that tuning, takes me long enough to get my guitar in pristine tune as it is. Thank you.

[@larryn2682]

Lazy

[@CorbCorbin]

Why? It shouldn’t take more than half a minute to tune. There are so many tuners that can do whatever key you want. You don’t even have to spend much.

[@fr3ak1shh]

@@CorbCorbin If you change to alternate tunings, you should also ideally adjust your truss rod. And if you play a guitar with a floating trem, you may also have to adjust the bridge springs, or your bridge isn't gonna be level (which could also lower or raise your action). Definitely helps to have a hardtail, but I still prefer not switching tunings.

[@scottcurry4116]

Nice video Dylan. I love working on this!

[@zapa.mp3]

I'm happy that somehow I figured out some of those licks by myself even never hearing Duane Allman before. Those patterns are the soul of the slide guitar. Probably I was inspired by Dylan's improvisations, so those sounds stuck in my mind.

[@matksful]

Great vid and lesson, thank you! I love these 1/4 note bend/curls but played with slide. I always tried to be spot-on to avoid strangled cat effect and that sometimes makes me sound almost as if I didn't play with slide at all ;-) these curls expanded my vocabluary. Thank you!

[@BlackofAzur]

Great video as always ! Standard tuning slide is awesome ! You're a monster player, keep em coming 🙌

[@amandamoore8516]

brilliant tutorial, so much material.

[@josep.maria.b]

Great teacher, awesome player 🧡 Thanks !!!

[@Cahaya100]

Thank you for sharing your skills. Thank you so much ❤

[@scottemmonsmusic6001]

The "blue note" is in between a major and minor 3rd. Old knowledge. There's another between a 5 and flat five. Good video, good playing, good tone.

[@Lilphesh]

You mean between the 2nd and 3rd+4th and 5th degrees of the scale? A major and minor 3rd are only a semitone apart, there’s no note between them, same with 5 and flat 5, the flat 5 itself is the blue note

[@AdanLucass]

@@Lilpheshwhen you play the guitar, bending (or in this case sliding) can give you infinite notes inside a semitone, this kind of out of tune sound adds so much to someones playing when it comes to the blues

[@aaronlarsen7447]

Once you learn open tuning in major or minor, you don't memorize the note names, but the intervals. It's like a major scale is the same intervals for every key. You can start with any note and tune your guitar as a chord.

[@1nv1nc1bleczars]

really helpful. thank you!

[@phillytle5114]

Thanks! Good start to slide

[@drewdietz2115]

Sweet lesson Dylan!! thanks.

[@johnkas23]

Great lesson

[@avatar90404]

Great lesson Dylan...Thanks!

[@dylanadamsguitar]

Thank you!

[@rijancaffe]

As a teacher myself, it might be easier for people who don't know theory to avoid terms like 4th and 5th. Maybe say '5th of the scale' for clarity. Love your lessons and playing though! This is good stuff!

[@nicfabrizio1776]

Can you do some Derek trucks lines lessons in standard ?

[@Suanagan]

It would be great!!!!!

[@sirfultonbishop]

Good stuff!!

[@RomanGostylo]

Thx for damned good lesson!

[@andrewboore3899]

Derek Trucks licks in standard next?? Excellent content much appreciated!

[@aminahmed2220]

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day also i have subscribed to the channel ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@michaelclark9562]

Fantastic lesson! Can you give me a link for email subscription. I really would love to have the PDF. THANK YOU AGAIN !

[@nicfabrizio1776]

I needed this video🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@francesco0185]

Hi! Nice lesson. According to your opinion, the slide so on Guardian Angel by Lee Roy Parnell is in standard tuning? Thanks

[@OniDasAlagoas]

Thanks for the tips as always, Dylan. Do you have any tips for playing the slide classics on standard tuning. Songs with big slide chords in open g for example.

[@kennylyon1934]

That was great; many thanks. Question: how high do you set your action for playing slide?

[@tropejm]

Amazing stuff! Question: Would you say the 57 classic or Burstbucker pick ups are better for Allmans stuff?

[@jamescatron6572]

How about to set your guitar up for slide like Duane Allman.

[@dobrostarr3759]

I play dobro. I would think slide would be an easy transition but I struggle. I have short fingers so my slide hangs way over when I try to stop before my knuckle like you recommend. I also can’t find the tone…I’m either overly distorted or it’s too clean. Just can’t dial that quack like you get.

[@Womble1252]

Get a lap steel openng dobro g tuning is beaut on electric lap, a $45 bad monkey pedal into a clean amp setting is an easy tubey tone..😊

[@andrejgregoric1324]

dmn, all clear until I get to my slide 😂. Just doesn't sound right. Yet...

[@officialWWM]

Same!

[@waylandmayo]

Do you set your action high for slide?

[@alguitarchristie]

Is this you using the Lion? Sounds awesome!!!!Thanks for the lesson

[@edwardgarcia8651]

Nice guitar what kind is it?

[@timsellsted521]

Awesome Dylan! Do you only use your thumb and index finger for picking?

[@LakeDaisy]

Dylan. Why is your therockslide slide password protected? what's the password?

[@tristanm-v7b]

Website is broke as hell, can't even find the PDF lmaook

[@XxSkydog71xX]

Where did u get the shirt dude? Great video.

[@dylanadamsguitar]

Some online store, sorry man I honestly can’t remember it’s been so long! Thanks for watching 🤘🏻

[@Shaddy89]

What made you commit to standard vs. open tuning? I’ve heard you mention it briefly in older videos but is it simply a matter of flexibility, comfort, or something else?

[@dylanadamsguitar]

It was mainly that I was starting to feel limited by Open E and unable to break out of sounding like a Duane/Derek clone. Standard felt like uncharted territory and the best place to try to find my own voice, plus I liked the idea of not having to switch guitars to play slide. That said, I still wanted to be able to play that Duane/Derek style stuff in standard if I so desired (they’re still my biggest influences after all), hence relearning it all in standard like I demonstrate in this video!

[@Shaddy89]

@@dylanadamsguitar it’s a killer video man I appreciate you making it! I’m having the opposite problem, I feel like I’m going back to old habits and licks when I’m in standard but open D seems to be giving me some fresh ideas. We will see what wins out ultimately!

[@fredfloyd68]

It would be great to show tabs...But great stuff...Very hard to tell where youre at..Who doesnt love ol Duane's tunes.

[@John666Galilee]

6:49!

[@dieselclean3193]

in fact, allman lerned from les dudek,

[@larryn2682]

Without excellent string dampening, this standard tuning slide is going to sound sour.

[@Craig52-zq1bt]

I have a slide book that contains a picture of Duane Allman playing slide, Coricedrin bottle on and drool from his mouth almost to the fretboard.
