Warren Haynes on Right Hand Slide Technique & Left Hand Position

[@punkrockadict619]

Warren needs to have his own master class on the guitar.

[@snogglemonkey]

That is a great tutorial - especially the right hand muting part, which when mastered, absolutely changes the tonal quality to a much richer sound.

[@thewyldeone89]

such a great musician

[@VonBluesman]

Even if he never formed Government Mule, his playing and singing with the Allman Brothers Band alone, was phenomenal, note for note, a remarkable musician. Stay healthy and blessed, I hope you are around for many years to come. Thanks.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

Yep the right hand muting is the secret to accurate slide playing, I am always working on that one!

[@Sco3000]

Warren is great, always try to catch Gov't Mule when they come around.

[@anonymous_friend]

Great tips. Nice of him to share. Humble guy

[@KenjiKitahara]

His speaking voice is super musical too... but man, his slide playing is just killer

[@gto1607]

I've been hearing a lot about muting lately. As a bass player I saw a lot of people using foam at the bridge or something around the nut. Two different kinds of muting for different results. What you don't play is as important as what you do play. I always palm muted naturally especially with a pick. That was a perfect explanation. Thanks Warren. I LOVE the slide solo in Blue Sky. One of my Favorites.

[@donkloos9078]

Very helpful. Thanks. I put glass slide on my middle finger (Bonnie Raitt) and lay index finger on strings behind it to reduce some noise. I'll have to try muting on other side now. Thanks!

Most traditional Delta-style players (re: Elmore James, Muddy Waters, so many others) did not care whether it had overtones or not. They just went with the jangling sound of Miss- issippi bottleneck. Not to criticize Warren at all - far be it for me, I love the guy - but the modern style with the right hand muting is not the only way to play slide. Elmore could just kill you with that open D tuned guitar ripping with a metal slide. It's just another way of expressing the blues. Duane Allman really ushered in modern slide guitar and Warren is a master at it. As he says, it's very clear and clean, no harmonic overtones. But some- times perfect isn't the way to go. Jangle on, you Elmore disciples! And thank you, Warren, for the excellent short lesson on your style.

[@sld67869801]

larry geetar not only Elmore but Hound Dog Taylor and JB Hutto had those nasty overtones too. Love that stuff!!!!!

[@wittvonwitt4403]

All depends on context of band. Elmore and Hounddog played in a trio so over tones would sound good. Warren plays in larger enables so he needs to be cleaner

[@shayh.3556]

I’ve said this before, there really is no wrong way to play a guitar… It is an instrument of personal expression and music theory and techniques is just that.

[@american_psycho1147]

Shut up already

[@LostMyMojo100]

What a beautiful soul....

[@larrypower8659]

Elmore James, Robert Johnson, and Muddy Waters didn’t mute. It’s just the old school bottleneck style. Duane Allman ushered in modern slide technique with right hand muting and that’s what Warren, Derek Trucks, Sonny Landreth and many others do. It’s just a different style. Jangle vs No Jangle. Both are wonderful when played well.

[@davidreid6957]

That was awesome. Been trying to learn slide, and the right hand muting was extremely helpful, thank you

[@peggyjohnsonmusic]

This is a fabulous video!

[@MrSmiley1964]

Amen!

[@vincentlepes]

My head just exploded

[@phallystorm]

Love you Warren ♥

[@MrSmiley1964]

There are years' worth of learning in this video. Take it from a guy who learned slide on his own long before there was an internet.

[@lucasrabellolimas8093]

Master.

[@davidrice3337]

Thank you Kindly

[@gerardgerard8344]

Great Tips!! Will Try!! Thank you!! G :D London

[@owre]

Right on.

[@ampersandmcvinegar5681]

He looks like John Goodman ate too many mushrooms. He's still my hero.

[@chingasofarkaso]

Me before watching Warren show the right hand muting? Alright. I can do this. It's not that complicated Me after watching Warren show the right hand muting? Fuck.

[@rayross997]

Would love to spend time with this guy & have some more of his instruction, in just a few minutes here I learned some valuable stuff. Warren put in the time & practise & paid his dues, what an awesome musician.

[@burakyy4907]

Id like to know what this great musician thinks about fretless guitar.

[@aschneider70]

the King on the heel

[@travisk4215]

Cool dude

[@bobdeluxeandtheideals1356]

👌👌👌

[@seanronan4726]

anyone know what kind of slide he has?

[@Twirlyhead]

Very, very informative. John Goodman sure knows his slide.

[@satoshinakamoto3342]

If I saw Warren Haynes and God at the same time, I'm going towards Warren Haynes first

[@francoisdallaire5424]

How is the super reverb is setup ? Volume etc

[@bjethier5910]

is that a greatfuldead slide

[@ensignofindustry1033]

30 years playing guitar. Bought 3 slides over the years. Sounded horrible. No one mentioned What Mr. Hayes just said 😔. Gotta find my slide.

[@jakemitchell1671]

I'm like Warren with those note positions but with women. Sometimes the thin one works best, but other times only a fat one will do.

[@DanLeRoy]

Great vid thanks... my slide playing is awful, maybe now I'll just suck🤗

[@snogglemonkey]

Arlene Roth made a great video explaining right hand muting in detail- - well worth watching.

[@MrSmiley1964]

It's been 6 years, how's it going?

[@DanLeRoy]

@@MrSmiley1964 surprisingly, better. I got a resonator and spend a lot of time playing it in open G. Not great, but better.

[@MrSmiley1964]

@@DanLeRoy Don't worry, I've been playing 45 years and one of the first songs I learned was Free Bird. Yeah I still suck at slide.

[@LeftyLooselegs]

yeah, this is BAD ASS. Warren knows the fretboard like I know how to get high... very well.

3 thumbs down? for what?

[@denysstryker3751]

Looks like a dressing room at the Beacon Theater

[@AnthonyBurrito1313]

I suck so bad at slide playing

[@TheEpicImpaler]

don't get discouraged, keep it up!

[@boomhauer20055]

This would have improved your book if muting had been explained better.
