What Bohlinger Plays - Fretting Behind the Slide

[@michaelmcfarland5272]

I may never implement John's techniques note for note, but it keeps me humble knowing that there is a world of untapped knowledge out there waiting to be shared.

[@Dagger_323]

It's a new goal of mine to get comfortable playing slide on my pinky finger like John does. So much more versatile and frees up your other fingers to fret notes and chords!

[@lipstickspeedball]

You Know I have been racking my mind for the simplistic idea of playing slide with Regular "A" 440 tuning. I'm blown away at the simplistic way you put it, in your vid. Wow now I am a Spycomatic Slidomatic that just "Can't Stop" I didn't want to even stop to write this.Thanks man Great Tutorial. Slide Guitar "Rocks"!!

[@frozencons]

Great lesson, John. Very practical, useful stuff that doesn't require a tremendous amount of prerequisite skills to get a hold of. You're a great instructor and very humble. Cheers!

I don't have any words to put in the comments section to describe how absolutely awesome this video is. Always love John's playing but his playing and that guitar combination is sublime!!

[@neobx2]

John Rocks \\m// he is the coolest most down to earth guy and is always exited when he does Rig Rundowns.

[@StephenAndrew777]

I think it's just that he's an actual guitarist.

[@markh7523]

John you are a great communicator as well, thanks

[@TheThinker39]

Great lesson! Clear explanation of a valuable technique. Thanks.

[@madsthomsen5842]

[@alexisalescio1562]

[@rickpaulson8524]

man, best lesson yet ! thanks

[@duaneanderson6393]

very nicely done. A very valuable demo .!

[@WilliamJackson-by1bb]

Thanks so much for this video, its given me some ideas! Love the cigar box guitar too!

[@theycallmejpj]

I bought a slide at xmas, best $5 I ever spent, it's almost like learning a whole new instrument

[@robroy4058]

Nice lesson

[@frufru0071]

That's some kind of amazing sound you're getting from (your fingers) & that guitar. I'm surprised that you didn't mention Mr. Jeff Beck, who is kind of a senior and an inspiration-I'd BET on it-to Trucks, (who's no slouch himself), when you were talking about great finger-pickers/players who don't use picks. Too many players to choose from, I guess. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@RickKillian]

Tells us about the guitar please. And thank you for all the inspiring and motivating guitar lessons!

[@gtr1952]

Great stuff John! I could hear a little Beck in there to. 8) Stewmac.com has a nice glass slide with a bevel on the inside. Once I got it it's all I have used!

[@reggiehobbs8800]

GREAT LESSON. WHAT TYPE OF SLIDE IS THAT?

[@johnbohlinger4868]

thanks. it's a Jim Dunlop Blues Bottle. They sound great, and give you lots of control. Love them.

[@Mistertbones]

Cigar box guitars are great for slide.

[@Jakeman90210]

What happened to the Jeff Beck rig rundown?

[@YomYestreen]

Thanks a lot for the video, John. Great playing and guitar sound. Do you recommend the small size Blues Bottle for a pinkie?

[@johnbohlinger]

I like the Dunlop blues bottle because it's light. But I have some metal slides like my Tony Whelan slide that sounds amazing, It depends on the music. Thanks

[@MAP448]

Thanks

[@StephenAndrew777]

Want.

[@bigfranchise]

I want to be like John when I grow up!

[@johnbohlinger4868]

First step, don't grow up.

[@bassa69]

great video but the setting makes you look like a vampire

[@JackBealeGuitar]

It takes many centuries to get to play like John, it all makes sense

[@stuartbegley2085]

1, ah ah ah, 2 ah ah ah. He does a bit lol.
