I made these videos as a basic course on playing blues in open D. Open D is a fun and easy tuning to play and compose in. Once you learn the basics you can improvise endlessly in it. You don't have to play slide in open D. A lot of blues as well as folk artists have used this tuning to great effect.
I first started in this tuning 20 years ago. I really wish I would have had someone to show me some of the basics to begin with. These licks and chords in open D are just things I picked up here and there over a number of years. You can tune any guitar to open D. Have fun! You can check out the second video here • Open D Chords and Lick...

It took me well over five years to get anywhere near ok at slide. I would have a little go every day after my practice. I eventually found a friend that played slide well. He showed me what he did. I have got to the point where I can jam with it. Well worth learning. I love the sound and being able to make it myself. Your videos are up there with the best on KZbin.

[@myfreebluesguitarlessons]

Thanks. Yeah I just work on it a little at a time. It is such a fun and expressive way to play guitar.

[@mr59301]

Useful lessons. You're both a gifted player and a patient instructor. Thank you.

[@josephh151]

Marvelous, best 38 minutes spent on KZbin yet. Just found your video and may I say awesome job. As a blues fan I just started using this tuning and it is so much easier getting that raw Delta Blues sound. Even though I don't have a Resonator yet, my acoustic sounds fantastic in this tuning. I really like how you combined a compilation of licks. Again Sir, Awesome.

[@myfreebluesguitarlessons]

+hammer 1963 Thanks, and thanks for watching.

[@myfreebluesguitarlessons]

Grossman I've heard of, and I think he has a channel here, I think I watched a guy named Ernie Hawkins there. I've seen Ernies videos elsewhere, but he did standard tuning blues stuff. Most people do. Open tunings are so wide open and yet people will teach just a song in the tuning. I like people to learn to improvise in the tuning as well. I never had anyone to teach me so I was always wandering around in open tunings. That's kind of the way I teach them :)

[@doriscampbell9775]

I picked up a pyle resonator off of Amazon for under 2 bills. Not a life long friend but great sound, once i get a little better, i may move up a model or two, but it is killer to play.. way better slide sound then my Gretsch. That "hub cap" adds a lot.

[@christopherstorz6184]

A handy tip for developing your slide ear. Take some tunes that you know by heart. "Happy Birthday" , "Amazing Grace", or something else and figure them out just on the high string. Once you have the tune confidently under you slide, play it without looking at your left hand. You will immediately know when you dork a note. Correct it without looking. I still use this method when learning new lead lines by ear. I figure them out on one string then once I am sure of the notes I move across the fretboard. Hope that makes sense.

[@martyjohnson5861]

You are awesome man!! Great teacher..I spent a year learning standard tuning and then met Don Young and Marc Schoenberger. I know own amd play 20s and 30s Nationals..Your lessons are So easy to follow..You are easy to listen to Over and Over..I come back over and over to pick up and perfect each little piece. Keep the open D licks coming!!

[@richq8530]

Such an informative video. Thank you for taking the time to make this. I have watched this several times now since picking up slide a few months ago and it's been a massive help for me. Made a lot of things click. Take care, Rich.

[@Donoftheded]

Wow I was truly humbled today. You can make that thing sing!!! Thank you brother🤘

[@myfreebluesguitarlessons]

Thanks. I loved that guitar. They're all gone now, fire, drunk guy with a cigarette. Fighting with the insurance company. But I'll never be able to replace her.

[@dannyfisher6681]

This will be the 3rd time I watched this... I just keep coming back to it. Great video and lessons. Top Notch!

[@myfreebluesguitarlessons]

Thanks. I'm happy if it's helping someone.

[@kajetandrozd1608]

There aren't many good lessons about slide guitar on the internet. I learned a lot from you. Thank you so much. This film is a really big step for open D begginers like me.

[@povallsky]

Have just watched this through with guitar in hand; accessed a few of the licks and enjoyed learning and succeeding. I can see myself watching this one over and over again. Great video brother, love it.

[@timmcdonald9877]

Sir, I can't believe I havent found your video before, your teaching technique and delivery is perfect. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this!

[@davidscott7833]

This is by far the best slide lesson I've found on KZbin. I've had a ton of fun exploring the ideas shown on this video. Thank you!

Fantastic Lesson! This lesson has put all the missing pieces I needed. I could play the licks in standard tuning but I've been struggling in open tuning. This has made it a snap. Great job!

[@cedricpichon6975]

Thank you for these tips, my practice of the guitar is easier since a few hours. I used to play EADGBE and wanted to try open D; it's like i am a beginner playing for 20 years, so it's like a challenge; really motivating, and your video helps a lot, really. (sorry for my grammar, i'm french)

[@terrybennett4700]

Nice easy Lessons, appreciate you taking time to put on youtube, your guitar sounds fantastic. Just started learning open D, so you video was great. cheer's

Good information here.... as I watch this I can't help thinking about the original guys down in the delta , man them guys had it rough , but this music is true Americana.

[@eblake021]

WOW! 3 THUMBS UP! You've got me inspired. I've played guitar for many years and with some of the best. I always loved the blues and the whole slide thing especially. I tried quite a few times to learn it but never got to a point where it felt natural to me. I'm giving it another whirl and feeling good about it. Thank you for a good kick in this old vintage butt!

[@myfreebluesguitarlessons]

Hey, thanks for watching and your comment. Nothing like being inspired. Glad if it helps in some way :)

[@srm8866]

Absolutely fantastic video! I've played acoustic guitar for many years - but never ventured off into the slide. However, this video inspires the hell outta me, and I want to kick back and jam to the memorizing sound of the slide. Thanks so much - I thoroughly enjoyed watching!

[@myfreebluesguitarlessons]

Thanks for watching. It is fun to add another dimension to your playing.

Thank you for reveling the truth....many hours of practice ...good video

I haven't seen all the slide players on her but you are right. It's about the ear. Being from austin texas and listening to blues i just feel it. Im not horrible and I've only been doing it consistently for a year. I think it's easy. Not bargin on ya but you are clarifying what I want to do. Notes and slide. Sweet brotha. Thanks.

[@Pistuhlero]

Keep up the good work man!!!! I am 2 weeks into learning, while in school full time, and also working 45 hours a week. But I am getting to the point that music heals my soul while I'm at work and instead of going on a "BREAK", I spend my time at the guitar store; JAMMING and playing on other more expensive guitars that I can't afford! I am really trying to teach myself musical theory, and also learn how to master OPEN D, and even OPEN E, though similar, they both have such unique tones! Glad I stumbled my way into a Guitar Center so I could kick off this incredible journey I have been on! Funny I own 3 guitars by Taylor, and my name is Taylor, maybe it was destiny!!!! HAHAHAHA

Great video! I've been playing for a fair bit and I still picked up a few new licks. Way too many slide videos on youtube just cover how to tune and the very basic damping techniques. Well done, sir.

[@myfreebluesguitarlessons]

I know. That's always been a bit of a mystery to me. Why does almost every single video on slide have to be geared towards the absolute beginner? There are a lot of people beyond the very early stages of learning slide guitar.

Great lesson, this is the kind of video i was talking about as I think the finger timing and constant thumb is the part it'' take time to get used to and i have some finger pucks on the way. I think as a beginner a slowed down version on how to do the timeing on the finger picking stuff if that makes sense? I love the classic blues shuffle and turn arounds with it and fillers coming off those. Thank you.

[@myfreebluesguitarlessons]

Yeah. I can do another one slowed down more.

[@gymover]

Thank you so much for this, just what I wanted from instruction, I qwsh for you be my teacher, you are right on my friend

[@myfreebluesguitarlessons]

Those strings are a medium gauge john pearse resophonic strings. The high string is .13 I use them on all my nationals. On acoustic guitar I use medium gauge martins or other brands.

[@DasDoge]

there is absolutly nothing like a person like you who just makes it sound sick

Is .12 gauge also possible to use . I am mainly doing fingerstyle and bending.
