How to Play "Slow Ride" on Cigar Box Guitar (A Lesson on Rhythm) - Blues U. Pt 3

[@musicalmiscellany]

This song always brings back a specific memory. My first apartment... I had friends over for some beers and this song came on the radio. We were inebriated so we started singing "Row Slide" (instead of Slow Ride) and laughing hysterically. Inevitably... I think of that every time I hear this tune. In any case... it's a fun tune to play. You're 100% right about that audience head bop.

[@musicalmiscellany]

Okay, replying to my own comment is a little weird but I want to get entered to win that ukulele. LOL. You lived next to Bob Trowe as a kid.

[@kinhelfa]

I've ordered a 'Skully' and am buzzing inside, I cannot wait to show it off!!

[@rslrandyman]

Bob Trowe. I’ve owned your T-shirt for many years. Thanks for watering my passion for cigar box guitars

[@BobBowman962]

Great Lesson! Back in 78' when Life had it's own soundtrack that played in my head and I ran the 2 mile on the high school track team - this song would start about lap 6 and taught me how to push through the hard laps. To this day, at 59, it still pops into my head and is helping me to run farther while getting the rhythm right! Thanks for the Great Lesson!

[@michaelwhalen7991]

Shane your university videos are currently the best foundational lessons going ! Nice and easy to follow, perfect speed for all players. I'm always amazed at how many CBG builders can't play a lick.. Well here is their chance ! Three lessons so far that are building on fundamentals. Glad you aren't sending everybody to patrion for the FULL lesson. Will support the channel with one of your awesome jack knife slides ! Waiting for Friday now like a kid waits for Christmas ! Love C.B.Gitty and your University lessons....and that Gittybucker !!! Boston Mike

[@offthegoalline]

Keep them coming Shane! Love these blues tutorials 👍🏻

[@kennethhope1438]

I have loved this song since I saw Boston in 1975!

[@dwood2342]

And I for one am certainly grateful for my first semester at Speal Blues University

[@larryblair9279]

Jammin this tune around the circle at the local skate rink as a teen. What fun!!!! Bob Trowe “Bob Dog” from Mr. Rogers Neighborhood in Mr. Speals Next Door Neighborhood.

[@oefpresents5684]

It is so cool that you live next to Bob Trowe from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. This lesson was slowed down so well that I was able to find a method of using my thumb to mute while playing one handed. I can get the rhythm down just trying to get the riff filled out to complete the song now. Thank you Shane Speal for another great lesson.

[@pabloalexander2471]

You are an awesome teacher. You remind me a lot of Adam Gussow the great Harmonica player from Mississippi. He has alot of KZbin videos. He teaches alot like you!!

[@johnwashburn3793]

When I was a kid,a guy named Floyd Link ran the Skelly station. Flattop haircut and a Foghat button on his shirt. Now my wife says I need a Stubby Slide and she needs a slow ride. I imagine you had a great time knowing Bob Trove who played Bob Dog,but you make this difficult for an old blind man such as I. Thankfully I see a bit and my ears and fingers are excellent!

[@kenfreestone7329]

I love how your shirt looks like it is strumming at approximately 9:30. Great lesson. Thanks

[@Cpw1959]

Thank you once again Shane, Bob Trowe "Bob Dog" from Mr. Rogers' Neighbor was your neighbour when you were a youngster.

[@raycarns7971]

Another great lesson at the perfect pace for me. Thanks. Bob Trowe "Bob Dog" from Mr. Rogers' Neighbor was your neighbor when you were a kid.

[@Jackman_NC]

Go Shane go. You pick the right Jams!

[@klbrackin]

Another winner of a lesson. I too, am a fan of Foghat.👍

[@NickDelavinias]

I really enjoy and learn with your videos at the 3 strings that i make. I did not know anything about music, but now i can scratch sounds at my 3 strings!!!! Thank you

[@richardpelland661]

Dazed and confused always comes to mind when I hear this song. Thanks for this one.

[@wesman7273]

Bob Trowe.....keep up the great work on teaching us the cigar box guitar

[@succisa68]

[@ken_g1337]

Bob Trowe lived in Mr. Speals Neighborhood! Great lesson as always, thanks!

[@pierceabshier]

Thanks for another great lesson. Very fun that you lived next door to Bob Trowe.

[@stevesstrings5243]

Thanks for the lesson! I saw Foghat in concert in 1977! It was my first concert attendance! I haven’t thought of it in years. Thanks for the flashback!

[@dicktompsett4943]

Another great lesson Shane! Your childhood neighbor was Bob Trowe who played “Bob Dog” on Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood. BE Well!!!

[@shanekneale3879]

Another really cool lesson. Many thanks. Cheers, Shane K.

[@Harpman333]

One of my favorite songs.. I got the honor to meet and greet foghat back in the day. Thanks Shane for putting this out there. Bob Trowe played Bob Dog.

[@execjet1]

Thanks for rocking the Cigarbox Guitar and all your lessons Shane. I'm just a biginner but you are making this fun and easy to learn. Who says you can't teach an old Foghat new tricks. Keep the videos coming.

[@LerxstDirkPratt]

I love Foghat, too! Great lesson, Shane! That's cool your childhood neighbor was Bob Trow. I watched Mr. Rogers Neighborhood growing up and I remember Bob Dog!

[@ks-pg5sh]

This was a great video to find on the channel after getting off work today. Thank you.

[@waynesylvia1083]

Fun song to jam and a great lesson, I can see some ZZ Top coming in the future.

[@ShaneSpeal]

Oooooh!!!

[@stlbassist]

Oh yeah, Foghat baby! 🤘🏻

[@Carl-eu6ns]

Cool lesson Shane. Bob Trowe is the answer for the competition, but Shane Speal is the answer for improving my playing! Thanks again. The Force is strong in this one.

[@GospelBluesMan]

This lessons is good for beginners to even those who have played for awhile. Lot of us old folks remember well growing up hearing this song. Maybe we also remember Bob the Dog played by Bob Trowe on Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.

[@ronellis3857]

[@billnolenjr.7582]

[@rumcaiz]

[@davidspencer2333]

Another great lesson Shane! Thank you for taking time to explain and demonstrate the chug with the right hand. Your explanation is very helpful. I need to get my stubby slide on order! Also, Foghat....one of the best names for a band ever!

[@lennyharp]

When you were a kid you lived next door to Bob Trowe who played "Bob Dog" on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. That's cool and explains some of who you are!

[@Gary-vl5ec]

Hi Shane, yet another excellent video and it’s obvious from comments that people are really appreciating the time you’re taking and the delivery and style of the lessons. You are an excellent teacher and these videos are making quite a difference to myself and many others. Looking forward to future installments. Gary

[@piercedarrow57]

Hey Shane!!! Foghat sounds Great on the Cigar Box Guitar...Slowride is an Awesome song!! Your childhood Neighbor was Bob Trowe - Bob Dog on Mr. Roger's Neighborhood! Liked and Subscribed!!! Super FUN song to play! Thanks Shane...

[@jackpmeadows]

I appreciate the alternative tuning. I am a Noob so each step is a learning experience. Thanks Shane. Blues University is sure a lot more fun than my "other" university was. It is great that you lived near Bob Trowe in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

[@johnprickett8140]

No! Your voice is fine! Thank you.

[@terrydockery3690]

I love slow ride good job

[@AcidBathFreakshow]

Another barnstormer Shane, gotta detune my box and give this a try. So you're trivia answer is Bob Trowe and as a tidbit of personal trivia I took slight exception at you asking why I hadn't bought your book, I do own it and the one alongside it too! I have everything ready to build a Shane Spiel stompbox, just need to get at it lol

[@papaduckducknbunny3492]

Loving the fact that you are doing it slow, (seems an appropriate song for that technique). I tend to lean towards slow blues and with time I may actually be confidant enough to sit in on some jams. Meanwhile I'm learning enough that I can amuse myself. Keep it up you have a good thing going here. Particularly for us old farts.

[@jamescircle6294]

love this song

[@fearlessfreddy1000]

Hi Professor, This is a fun song to make up your own lyrics to. Good lesson. Greetings from the Emerald City.

[@slewfoot6608]

You're the best Shane!! Thanks for this fun lesson! I love this song!

[@CurrituckF150]

Great video, Shane. Thank you. Please keep them coming!!!

[@Manandmachine772]

Really Appreciate this BU video. Loving the content. Please keep the videos coming.

[@trudycrow4427]

Fantastic Shane, neighbor of make believe " Bob Dog" woohoo let's Roll

[@johnnydeck3497]

Hey Shane, love these simple blues instructionals! Your childhood neighbour was a certain Bob Trowe, who played "Bob Dog" on Mr.Roger's Neighbourhood.

[@KingKernel]

I have to find out the deal with Speak, so you earned my subscription

[@patrickswartz8172]

Very cool lesson. Palm muting comes a bit easier for me. Also very cool that Bob Trowe was your neighbor.

[@mrredundancyman]

Thanks, Shane.

[@reinaldojosemoreira]

Great lesson Shane, thank you for sharing.

[@jenniferoaks4550]

Great lesson!

[@Ch3knraz3]

Thanks for the lesson! Bob Trowe.

[@uniquestringsthings]

🎶Shane Speal 🎶 🎶🎶 Take it Easy 🎶 🎶🎶 You Know the Rythem is Right 🎶 🎶🎶👍Great lesson of a great song 👍

[@martinfisher7193]

Great lesson! 🙂

[@billndj23]

Great! As usual! Thanks!

[@chrisalan3009]

Bob Trowe, that's cool. My wife can pick up a new instrument and knock out a song in a short time. I, on the other hand, can run a sound board but can't play a note. Thanks for breaking it down, maybe there is hope for me.

[@tiwflah]

Another great lesson Shane. For me the picking hand is what I find most problematic, but you are really getting me there. Thanks for that. Oh and the name you are looking for for the competition is Bob Trowe.

[@mybusiness7663]

Your neighbor was Bob Trowe I love these lessons

[@RevvyTone]

Oh god I bit my tongue laughing at your attempt to hit the upper register. Great right hand exercise here!

[@kinhelfa]

Is CBG Skynard-friendly? Getting back into LS after a way too long hiatus. Back to being a simple man feeling as free as a bird and loving it😉

[@Dr-Brown]

Great series Shane, keep it up, please! This might be a topic for a ways down the line, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on Blues call and response.

[@gregpunturiero8009]

Another great lesson Shane. I love being able to just jam, but there is something so satisfying about learning a recognizable song. You lived next to bob dog (Bob Trowe) as a kid. Speaking of dogs, are there any skydog (Duane Allman) licks that would translate to cbg? That'd be fun. Either way, looking forward to whatever the next vid is. Keep em coming!

[@oldman2012]

Ok, bought a fretless slide box guitar that amounts to a toy. any lesson on how to play it? tied a few on cd that came with it and not getting it. is fretted guitar better to learn on?

[@The1Norseman]

LOL that was the best start for a awsome day :D

[@Jack-fs2im]

yr too good a teacher,I will be up all night ,ha,thanx

[@kinhelfa]

@shanespeal I cannot wait to get started with my first CBG, but my post-op dupuytrens hand has to heal first (4 weeks and counting). Meanwhile, thank you sir for the very useful insights, tips and CBG passion. Fortunately for you, I live far, far away, like the Wizard of Oz. Otherwise, your 'favourite' neighbour would be banging your door, daily😉. Off to browse and shop at a certain CBG shop.

[@caddisking]

We Want Another Olds Sleep Jam Session!

[@brevs8387]

Awesome Shane... Nice rhythm lesson. Another, possibly more advanced because of the chord changes, but really good song in this same vein would be "Rocky Mountain Way".

[@brevs8387]

You probably already know this better than me, but you can even keep the cbg tuned to open G starting on the 10th fret for the opening riff before going to the traditional blues riff.

[@castle5711]

Nice!

[@billylebrun3307]

Awesome

[@nathandc]

What was Bob Trowe like? Did you recognize him from tv at the time?

[@ShaneSpeal]

He was a true Renaissance man. Most people didn't know he was also a woodworker and built the entire Neighborhood of Make Believe. When he moved in next to me, he built his own A frame house from the ground up. He had a big koi pond up front. At one point, he was recording a TV commercial for Hills department store and he borrowed my bicycle for it. I was only 5-7 years old when I lived next to him.

[@richardstumph7833]

Clean the rasp, that's Kool,teach it man, yeah,

[@MarkCoulter801]

You are the Bob Ross of CBG's! You lived next door to Bob Trowe.

[@marcmayou1422]

Thanks again, back tomorrow

[@kinhelfa]

@shanespeal Another way for students to follow your videos is by speeding/slowing the playback speed. This can be found within the options menu (the three dots).
