Andy , been watching you for *YEARS, you are a MASTER GUITARIST, I ve been playing ,over 50 years, I know great guitarist when I see & hear one 👍

[@dr.wagner216]

Mr. Aledort I learned the basics from a DVD that came with guitar world about 10 years ago. Thank for everything you've shared with us through your tutorials.

[@imannonymous7707]

Ya tru dat

[@caryheuchert]

I’ve always liked George Harrison’s slide playing. Apparently, he also used standard tuning. Thank you, Andy! An excellent intro lesson.⭐️

[@larrypower8659]

@ Cary Heuchert. George, much like Jeff Beck, flies way under the radar as a slide player. Very clean, well intonated notes, with wonderful melody. If you don’t know the song, check out Alvin Lee’s “The Bluest Blue,” from the ‘90s. George is featured on slide and it’s perfect for the song. His whole thing was to serve the song. RIP, George; RIP Alvin.

[@moreblack]

@@larrypower8659 Ritchie Blackmore was also a surprisingly good slide player

[@alangoodwin1966]

Simple directions, and it’s a great option to stay in standard while using a slide. Andy makes it look easy. Enjoyed the vid, very informative.

[@nelsonstrange888]

Been watching you for years dude. You're one of the best. Thank you

[@amandamoore8516]

brilliant! I was put off by different tunings as I just want to play in with jam buddies, no time to worry about retuning a guitar.

[@jaakkot9661]

Best slide vibrato I've ever heard.

[@ashtweth]

Got every thing in Slide that you have ever put out, i have always wanted a full dvd on standard...big surprise to see this Andy..thanks a lot man

[@JoeLazzara]

Yes, me too lol. I'm also trying to find more complete and advanced slide guitar in standard tuning lessons. I still cannot decide whether I want to stay in open E or just get really good in standard. Every time I try to do research I confuse myself even more because you got players that say you can do the same thing in standard tuning as you can in open. Obviously I wouldn't know because I can't play slide that great in standard. The problem that I'm having is that I just don't know how to navigate up-and-down the neck with the slide. I know my scales but for some reason it's not sounding right lol. Hopefully I can find something soon.

[@EricSwanson1]

I read an article by Andy 10 years ago and it revolutionized my playing completely.

[@evansgate]

I've dabbled with slide for a few years and have finally been learning about it more from the pros- I wasn't muting the dead strings, I was playing with a pick even though I prefer fingerstyle in general and I still have troubles with note selection and getting a fluid run going... lots of work to do

[@hhonez6538]

I learned Statesboro Blues many years ago. I did not know that Duane was playing in open tuning. There were a couple of things you could not do, but it is all an advantage now in my humble playing. Andy killing it as usual.

[@davidrice3337]

Mr Andy, thank you for sharing your exceptional skills - you are a very comprehensive teacher - you have helped me with the slide tremendously - You make the complicated look manageable - Thanks to you I'm learning to play slide in standard - little bit harder but that's ok You stressed the importance of picking up the guitar everyday and practice even for just a few minutes - in time you will notice it gets easier as you go !!!

[@GratefulSeaDog]

Nice work, I am an old sucker and I remember when Show No Mercy came out, it was an absolute master piece! This song has always been one of my favorite Slayer songs ever!

[@georgefry8035]

Finally a great primer for me! I have struggled to add slide into my playing but I think this video has some great ideas 💡 to try

[@ronaldshumaker5217]

Thanks for the video, andy,love to watch you play.

[@janstaugaard4098]

Thank god for Andy Aledort

[@garygordon8660]

Thanks for this slide lesson Love your tone

[@kimwestwood8840]

Thanks for sharing this. I am 70 , an old picker and have been trying to get the slide down so it sounds good in my recordings. I use standard tuning and am hoping to improve .

[@alkennedy1124]

Finally some one who, knows and can tell me how to slide with my left hand first index finger, kool thank you Jesus grace amen, BigAl California.

[@jeffmc4233]

I want to thank you 4 your great lessons through Guitar World the video you made illustrating rock guitar methods this was at least 10 years ago this was very helpful towards getting my basics keep up the great work you're awesome

[@gertlarsson9285]

Once again as I can’t sit still while hearing you play 👍🥃 Really good stuff to know and I’ll get it a try tomorrow 😊

[@ciachetti]

Outstanding lesson!!!!!

[@garthosborn8400]

I love this! I am saving up for a 335-style guitar - I was wondering if I should get a Les Paul or SG instead - NOPE! Excellent lesson. I’m an old fart (69) but still love to learn guitar stuff. I dig slide a LOT - thank you for this. You play wonderfully.

[@dss618]

Best slide advice ever !

[@edgarsnake2857]

Your playing just oozes rock and roll. Great playing; great lesson. Thanks.

[@ront8270]

Great lesson Andy

[@mdallen5]

This is extremely helpful! Playing in a cover band requires me to go between tunes and styles too fast to bother with switching guitars. Thank you for the tabs too!

[@imannonymous7707]

You wont find a better slide player/teacher than andy, period

[@jayfox7769]

I agree he’s awesome

[@JungleTelegraph]

Great lesson! Thank you.

[@SomeJustice19k]

Impressive pick work. Had never seen that method

[@stefan-d.grigorescu]

I found here very useful information I took wrong before. Thanks a lot for the lesson, it is really cool

[@matiasi4065]

Thank you so much. Greetings from argentina

[@emilianozm]

Yeah! Great approach to slide guitar! Thanks for sharing

[@brucereed4297]

Thanks, Andy!! I appreciate the lesson.

[@stephensmith799]

Wow. Done with feeling...

[@richardpenhardt6100]

i still remember you playing in queens ... i was gob smacked. great lesson.

Awesome!

EXCELLENT, very helpful & clicked LIKE

[@jayfox7769]

Haha you’re the best I watched a few videos before this and your (you don’t have to) style had me loving the lesson, hats off thanks for the tips!

Andy Aledort i hope you will make a full length version of that jam that was playing at the beging if the slide guitar in standard tuning video please

[@frankstephenson1746]

First of all, man can this guy play. Wow I always play standard for convenience. But man I gotta clean up my licks after watching this haha

[@noworries12]

very good,right to the point....the only thing I miss are a few words about string gauge/action

[@toddwilliamson8557]

I know he's not known for it but my favorite slide player is Ritchie Blackmore.

[@chesterharlan]

Great!!

[@skidrix2432]

Solid tutorial

[@anarchywon4170]

I keep the action so low on all my electric guitars that adding a slide into my playing is an impossibility, but damn it sure sounds good when somebody knows what their doing with it. Cheers mate

[@randycunningham7318]

Thank you!

[@Beachbumartist]

Great lesson man as i noticed that on the backing track you played the notes on mostly the 12 th and 9th and 7th fret. Thanks a lot.

[@migueldemaria3830]

12th has B and E, which are in the E chord, 7th has F# and B, which are notes in the B chord, and 9th has C# which is in A. I guess areas where two chord notes on strings right next to each other are going to help get a similar sound as an open tuning.

[@Drumguitarman]

Thanks!

[@wnenf]

Learned something today

[@scott.kaszyk]

4:20 That's the answer, as it usually is - play cleaner - Thanks @ Andy Aledort

[@ampersandmcvinegar5681]

I love it. "You don't have to, though."

[@richarddeady6342]

Great tips man

[@MrGuitarman8000]

😎 awesome..

[@Womble1252]

Great mate your vibrato reminds me of rory gallagher's 👍👍

[@thornil2231]

Here is my take: I never play in standard tuning, but... I can see how good it is as a practice. In open tuning, you can be sloppy, you always fall back on your feet because of the open chord. In standard you have to be precise and you can't let a string ring that is not intended.

[@officialWWM]

I’ve been playing guitar for years but I can’t play a decent slide piece to save myself 😂

[@larrycastro5113]

[@JM-pf2of]

what does he mean by bounce off a lower string @8:00

[@mattdriscoll3054]

Wow your tone is amazing what is the set up

[@gamer6550]

Would it be good to raise the action to play slide... Thanks & good video

[@wheninroamful]

No fluff, solid very helpful information. Like this comment. Thank you.

[@michaelholmes8350]

Do you raise the height of the strings off the neck so it does not buzz on the frets?

[@imannonymous7707]

Anyone know who built that guitar, never seen one before, sounds cool

[@ClassicK1rk]

im annonymous it’s D’Angelico. And if I’m not mistaken, they are like $800. Hope that helped. 🤘😎🤘

[@imannonymous7707]

@@ClassicK1rk ya it did bro thank you man

[@rocketrose2165]

How high is the action on your instrument? I keep 'fretting' when I slide unless I'm way up the neck. Also, a little more technique on the right hand muting would be appreciated. Great lesson and sound

[@AndyAledort777]

Much thx & glad you dig the lesson. Over time, you will learn to be able to play on very low action (as Derek Trucks does) tho it’s a good idea to raise it a little when you are first getting yr slide technique together. Warren Haynes keeps his action at a mid-point between high & low so he can pick up a slide & play comfortably on all of his guitars...

[@alkennedy1124]

It’s all good if I know anything about this , I’m 100 % by ear 🦻kool will it work with first left hand index finger, that’s ok I see koolany fingers will work, thanks I need more , thank, I keep trying to change my strings , and keep breaking them in the tuning, ok thanks BigAl California.

[@kevinkwasneski6977]

What gauge do you use for standard slide on an electric? On my resonator I have 12's but on the electric 10's dont sound right

[@paddyodriscoll8648]

I don't know if I have what it takes to play slide in standard ... Andy, what song are you playing in the opening?

[@imannonymous7707]

If u play lead and know major/minor pentatonic you will be fine

[@AndyAledort777]

It's just a blues shuffle in E, not a specific tune...

[@paddyodriscoll8648]

Andy Aledort is there a place I can hear more?

where u get the slide?

"You have to keep the slide over the fret" - demonstrates with a vibrato half a fret spacing on either side.

THAT B STRING THO

Can't talk about this without mentioning Mick Taylor....

[@trackerbuckmann1627]

Paul Gilbert plays slide in standard tuning.

[@captainsouth4460]

I always sound like a sick cat when i attempt slide. Everytime no matter how much I watch vids and try to play. Ugggh😢

[@Dobrovinskiy]

B string is lower than it must be

[@johnmayor2181]

That's a nasty buzz on the G string.

[@bradleydrawsweirdstuff]

go to 2:10 to skip the annoying dialog

please tune your B-String.....

Hey everyone , I can tell when things are ever so slightly flat.

[@zachvoke4152]

Please shut up

[@joebeamish]

Right?

[@bloke2201]

Some people have perfect pitch. My bestest buddy would get a sharp pain in her teeth when she’d hear two notes clash. Half the time I wouldn’t even notice it.

[@jcoopdeville]

B string is flat

[@kudshirt6061]

Pls tune the b string

[@davidhumphries1146]

The guitar must be the most complex instrument eva

[@SeanRosati]

The crazy part is that that’s true and false at the same time.

[@shayh.3556]

You can shred a guitar and not even know a note, chord, etc or have a vast knowledge and play mediocre lol It’s strange. It’s an easy instrument to play but learning takes some time

[@bradbutler7911]

Pretty good lesson but I came here to learn slide by the goo goo dolls and still can’t play

[@aadityakiran_s]

Guitar is a little out of tune isn't it? B string and A string I think.

Great vid, thanks..learnt heeps
