Popularized by the blues men of old, with its slow, soulful sighing, slide guitar has since made inroads with several musical genres, including country and good ol' rock and roll. Artists like John Fahey, Robert Randolph and Leo Kottke have taken the style to another level of technical excellence and energy, often playing fast and loud, pushing the boundaries of acoustic slide guitar.
Playing Dobro guitar involves using a slide made of steel or brass to sound notes on the fretboard, instead of the traditional method of pressing down with the fingers. In these free online guitar lessons on video, learn techniques to play acoustic slide guitar music. Our expert will show you the ins and outs of this unique style of playing, including choosing slides and strings, using finger picks, and how to properly apply the slide to the guitar.
