Slide / open G How to play a couple of my songs.

[@JohnGilmore-sp3ns]

Great lessons easy to follow real nice licks relaxed approach. Thanks for your help

[@lilchucktheonemanskifflema2214]

Thanks for the kind words John :)

[@78tag]

It is nice to see someone emphasise the relaxed, jam feel of playing reso's. I am just starting to mess with the open tunings and G seems to be one of the best. Learn a couple of songs, get a few licks under your belt and let it rip is what I'm after with videos like this. Thanks.

[@lilchucktheonemanskifflema2214]

good luck on your Reso journey :)

[@cmmbsnyder55]

Thanks for the tutorial! It's much appreciated! I'm a very green slide player. I do have 2 different Regal Resonator Guitars - one wood & one metal. Always enjoy your videos 😊

[@lilchucktheonemanskifflema2214]

Thanks Chuck! cheers for checking in :)

[@spencerboaz2385]

Slide is my new adventure and I'm starting in open G . Great video . There are so many great guitar players it would be almost impossible for me to pick a best . But if I could only listen to one , I think it would be David Gilmore . Well I'm gonna see if you can teach this old dog a new trick , maybe two . You have a blessed one my new friend .

[@lilchucktheonemanskifflema2214]

Thanks for the great words Spencer, good luck on your journey. :)

[@leeburnley]

You had me at "I don't know what I'm doing half the time". Me neither brother I'm just along for the ride wheni pick up a guitar but I hang on real good. 🤣

[@lilchucktheonemanskifflema2214]

nice one Johnny :)

[@Mightyfineart]

These are great tutorials. I'm just trying to learn a bit of slide having now got very little use or control of my fingers on my left hand (bike crash). I can still fret with my index finger and the middle to a certain extent. Thanks to you I've just about got whisky and ginger and little red rooster down. Just need to keep practicing. Keep 'em coming please.

[@lilchucktheonemanskifflema2214]

Keep Rockin' :)

[@bujia69]

Thank you for your detailed, free and very humble lessons. I have 'Spotified' your discography.

Lil Chuck great stuff! I gotta learn whiskey and ginger...Ginger was probably trouble. jb

[@lilchucktheonemanskifflema2214]

Great stuff, Enjoy W&G! :)

Cheers Terry! I'll keep you up to date with everything. Really appreciate your support :) facebook.com/skifflemachine/

[@Doctor.T.46]

Thanks for that Chuck but I'm afraid I don't do Facebook, too old sadly for new technology. I'm an analogue harpist in a digital age. I'll be keeping up with you on KZbin, I can just manage that. You keep playing and posting on here and I'll be the first one listening,

[@lilchucktheonemanskifflema2214]

That's brilliant man, I'll keep posting you you on YB for sure!

[@captscratchybeard]

You always remember the first song you learned to play. Now I'll always remember Whisky and Ginger as the first slide riff.

[@lilchucktheonemanskifflema2214]

Brill! glad i could be part of your musical journey :)

[@outlaw1099]

Thanks George! :)

[@carolinamangiavacchi5447]

Hi Chick, I've just started playing slide and I was wondering how high is your action at the 12th fret? Mine is 6mm. Going through your songs now. You have a great sound and really cool licks

[@lilchucktheonemanskifflema2214]

Thank you. I don't set my guitars up specifically for slide as I play a combination of regular style & slide... I think my guy set up my National at about 3mm.

[@Dutcharmytent]

Have subscribed great banter

[@lilchucktheonemanskifflema2214]

Thanks Mr S :) :) you can hear more of my music right here. skifflemachine.bandcamp.com

[@jeffcalvert7209]

Hi Chuck - just come across you and your music whilst looking for some Open G stuff. You got a new fan! I am just an old guy who started a couple of years ago and via the use of KZbin can pick up a few bits parrot fashion. Just about got Whiskey & Ginger slide riff nailed, but wondered if you could fill in some of the other bits in that piece? Hope so - as I have lots of bits but no full songs (except Albratos by Fleetwood Mac on my other guitar) If you could by the power of technology video some of the rest of that piece so this old guy in the Isle of Man (small island between England and Ireland) can see what you do I would be grateful. i'll link into the mailing list also. Cheers Jeff

[@lilchucktheonemanskifflema2214]

Hi Jeff, sorry, I just realised I didn't reply to your comment. How are you getting on wiht W & G? what bits are you having trouble with? I'll see what I can do. I love the IOM, I gigged there number of times in the early 2000's :) more music here....skifflemachine.bandcamp.com

[@charliefarleyba8940]

Just found you Li'l Chuck, good vibe and real friendly delivery - I'm at the beginning of my 'slide' effort left-handed, like your songs & would hope eventually to try playing 'em. I've started with the slide on my 3rd finger, would that be a problem attempting your tunes? Subbed, every success bro, best wishes from Blighty :)

[@lilchucktheonemanskifflema2214]

good luck with your journey. my rule is that there are no rules when it comes to music. Play from the heart and you'll make it sing what ever finger you use... look at the difference between say Bonnie Raitt and Dave Hole technique..... ps I am left handed, I play right-handed guitar and left handed drums simultaneously.... no rules - have a loot at some of my one man band videos and you'll see.. :)... ps I have just released a series of hand made slides and a tutorials here... all the best from NZ :) www.backyardmusic.co.nz/bottlenecks

[@carlryan3936]

What strings are you using? Will mediums work?

[@lilchucktheonemanskifflema2214]

Thanks for checking in, I generally use 12-54’s but any old brand really. 😃

[@WinsomeJohnny]

My hero.

[@lilchucktheonemanskifflema2214]

Thanks man! cheers for the good vibes, more of my music right here! :) skifflemachine.bandcamp.com

[@tonyb2337]

I've got to get a guitar like that.

[@lilchucktheonemanskifflema2214]

Do it! tell 'em I say it's ok :)

[@darkmysterytemple]

Nice , but no not claw hammer. It's called simple 3 finger picking (Scruggs style). Your strum is a claw hammer but not the finger picking.

[@lilchucktheonemanskifflema2214]

Thanks for checking in...As I say at 17 seconds. "I don't know what I'm doing half the time" :)

[@darkmysterytemple]

@@lilchucktheonemanskifflema2214 the great banjo player Roscoe Holcombe would sometimes string his guitar differently and play it clawhammer. Great channel thanks for posting.
