    This is a cracking breakdown mate. You've certainly channeled Derek here. I have a scale book for open E in the post. I have a lot of work to do! Cheers for this!

    THANK YOU, DAN!!! I AM SUMMARILY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR EAR AND TALENT. I AM FAR MORE IMPRESSED BY YOUR HUMILITY. Please don't change a thing. Yes, steal all you are able to from Derek while developing your own style. You will certainly leave your mark on the music world. It is also a gas to watch (and enjoy your zeal) for his music. You're a treasure in and of yourself. How about teaching the major and minor scales in open E? I discovered you less than a month ago and after playing slide for 40 years I am already a better player thanks to your videos! Dr. James Santiago Calderon, retired.

    Hi Dan.
    Thanks for a really great video. Inspirational ‼️‼️
    I can only think of a better solo and that’s you and Derek doin a dual solo. Harmonising slide guitars ????

  • @NickMet461
    @NickMet461 3 роки тому +1

    I’ve noticed when he does a volume swell at the start of a vocal run lick he doesn’t have any right hand muting (to start) but the other strings aren’t ringing out. Noticed you’re able to do that too but it sounds horrible when I try this 😂What am I missing here?
    (example where his right hand is on the vol for a good amount of the run ua-cam.com/video/X1n6PgSC6IQ/v-deo.html)

    • @danvtoppo
      @danvtoppo  3 роки тому

      Great question Nick. It's difficult because you need to mute all of the other strings almost immediately after you start moving the slide to dampen the unwanted noise. So you can try to minimize moving the slide while your right hand isn't muting. IMO, It comes down to minimizing the time it takes to move your hand from the volume knob back to the strings
