How To Master The Pentatonic Scale On Slide Guitar

[@thebluesrockers]

I found when I first started playing slide that slow is the best way to go. Baby steps. Don't say "I can play this or that really good. Instead, practice slow and try adding more or less vibrato to change feel. Also long slides and stop on the note without any vibrato at all. Then practice the vibrato while landing on the notes. If you can't do that yet, you should back up and practice until you have that. I just found this channel and I must say "He's a awesome teacher. He's easy to follow and well studied." Jules, thank you. I'm just getting back into playing again. I think I'm going to subscribe so I can live by the words I've spoken above. Peace.. Joe

Joe, thank you for this awesome message and so happy you found my channel - great tips you have here! Slow and steady absolutely wins the race. Keep an eye out for more videos I have a lot of stuff coming out soon that I think you’ll really enjoy!

This is really inspiring. Thanks! I’ll check out the Trucks masterclass.

[@julesleyhe]

That’s so great to hear, thank you! I hope you dig the Derek Trucks masterclass, there’s a lot to unpack in it!! Really appreciate the feedback!

[@joskefar]

Great lesson! Thanks!:) Your playing is incredible!

[@julesleyhe]

Thank you so much for that, really appreciate you checking out the video and hope the lesson helps!!

Fantastic vid. May I ask what kind of slide is that?

[@julesleyhe]

Thank you Scott! This is my signature liquislide, we're just about to release these on Friday! ;-)

Uh, those harmonics 12 frets up from the slide are gorgeous.

[@julesleyhe]

Thank you Mark! You are well on your way to becoming a slide wizard 😊

Strive to Thrive in the Five in 2025. Thanks for this instructional full of insight and instruction. Btw in what format is your DT Masterclass in? I don’t want to lose if my phone dies.

[@julesleyhe]

Thank you so much man! Once you purchase the Derek Trucks course you will own it forever, you will not lose it if your phone dies! Also you can always reach out to me if you have any questions/ issues with it 😊

[@kurtisslystne5250]

Are you using the 'Dumbleized' fender reverb amp? Or is it the before you modded it? The tone in this video is fantastic!

[@julesleyhe]

Thank you Kurtis! I’m using the enigmatic in this video, I really like using it for my lesson videos because I think it sounds great and the ease of use is hard to beat! While im a tube amp guy as much as possible I feel like my lesson videos are a great application for these amp model pedals. Thank you so much for checking out the video!

All guitar instruction videos should state the guitar's tuning, since so many players, especially slide players, use different tunings. We have information about mics and lights, etc. but not the most basic of all - the guitar tuning. Otherwise, great lesson, thanks.

[@julesleyhe]

You are correct, sorry about that! I play slide in open E tuning pretty much exclusively!

[@Everdaytillsplean]

What brand slide you using?

[@julesleyhe]

My signature Liquislide, we’re releasing it on Friday! 😊

[@Everdaytillsplean]

Thx! I’ll check it out

[@francescodefelice6650]

Hi Are you using the volume pedal for accent more dynamic sound also?

[@julesleyhe]

Hi Francesco, yes! I tend to use the volume pedal most of the time to sort of soften the attack/ to soften the end of notes, so that’s what you’re noticing- you’re correct!

[@francescodefelice6650]

@@julesleyhe I use the volume knob since I’m Stratocaster and tele lovers.

[@EJ_Crough]

ah yes, the saddest of all keys

[@julesleyhe]

Someone out there sees what I’m putting down! 😉🤘🏼🤘🏼
