I’ve heard Joey explain his slide method in every video on UA-cam he’s in, but I keep clicking just to hear him play
Dude, same.
This guy is one helluva slide guitar player. Just discovered him and looking forward to many years to come!
Every musician should be humble like you! You play what you are!
Great man!!
Joey and Allen Stone should do a song together. That’d be dope.
I like where your heads at.
I second that!!!
As someone who is about to enter into the world of slide, this answered so many important questions I was wondering about in terms of technique, string action, etc. Thank you!
Awesome Joey...just what I needed to hear. Thanks man
THIS is the phrasing I always wanted to play. Amazing timbre..
Bravo man!! beautiful and thanks for all the amazing words of wisdom
World class human being and guitarist 🤙🏻🙏🏻👊🏻🇨🇦☀️🥃😎👌🏻
Very nice session and very thought provoking !
Big ups to the engineer who did this! All spot on but most especially to the master db lufs, so nice to not be assaulted by the hype, most appreciated!! And those listeners who are having trouble hearing, give yourself the best gift a musician can receive and pickup some really nice headphones, I promise it will change your life in the most positive and fulfilling way ❤️👨🏻🚀🔥
so awesome thx a lot for this inspiration
Just want to add that Joey's such a nice, humble guy you want him to do well. Generous with his info too.
I asked him two questions at a clinic in Winnipeg about a year ago now, and between the fairly simple questions I asked, I think he spent 20 to 30 minutes answering. Hard not to cheer for a guy like that. Even harder once you've heard him play live. Wow.
@27:33 dude adjust tuning mid-flight without missing a beat. That entire section starting at @27:04 is soooooo coooool.
Great vibe and great playing. 👌
Amazing! Great song
Great player/singer/writer and a great fella too. I'm really happy to see Joey on the path towards towards the level of recognition he deserves.
Didn’t know about him till now
Very nice !!
That Sorokin Gold Top Though.... Damn fine guitar!
Thanks man
What the heaven of guitar is that?!
Crazy legend !!!!
Great tone
Pure Gold
"Cop their feel"! Hahaha! I love this guy!
26:25 "Everyone knows Im a pedal junkie" *cameraman focuses on background displaying Joeys wall of pedals*
Thankyou cameraman, you did your thing. Thankyou for showing your skills, that was your time.
Round of applause
Joey is so incredible. I want to hang out with him!
This dude cooks
Hey dude really enjoyed ur vid that last piece u played man it made me go look my slide out oooooohhhhhh it was good plus Thanx for the incouragement and tips. I play low on my guitar and it doesn't work well with slide as u said and it really is discouraging when it don't sound good, al keep plugging away but when people like you are around lol goes round in circles l!
Hell yeah for this and for CHAMPAGNE JAMES!
I like how that off brand GoldTop has Gold on the back and neck. The very first GoldTops were like that.
🔥🔥🔥
This is fascinating as well as inspiring. I want to hear more of his music, because of this video, and will be going on the hunt for it today.
That pedal show room!
the forester :) , great lesson
that is some great real time camera work to focus in on the pedal display on the wall in the background when he says that he is a pedal junkie temporarily blurring him out, ...i would say that that display on the wall qualifies him as a pedal junkie all by itself.
It’s not his room. Those all belong to the “That Pedal Show” guys, since it was filmed in their studio. But it was definitely a timely focus pull.
@@lightaces oh........ right.
Refreshing approach to slide. Funny though, he thinks his hybrid finger/slide technique as a flaw. I think it's a brilliant innovation.
17:00 yep I have a blacktop Tele with two humbuckers set up high and placed with 11s
Sound is a bit on the low side actually
That Pedal Shed!
@thatpedalshow
and next weeks upload of bizzarro world rev billy f gibbons....
Edit: This was concerning string preferences...
THE MOST INTRIGUING STRINGER VID IV EVER SAW. Awesome 👏🏼 interview
That's what has happened to me. I just recently decided I'm fully dedicated to open F and D5 and theres no going back lol.
26:27 Mister Cameraman, I know what you did....
Another great video! What camera are you using?
He used a Nikon D810 and 750 :)
Probably my favorite slide guitar lesson. And thats without him playing one note!
Anazing video love joey oh so much...i do think the volune of the vid is too low tho
Waltzing Matilda - love it
I'd love to have heard about his slide also. The flat spot on the slide and the thick wall brass.
It's a Rock Slide -Joey Landreth model.
Thanks!
Nice one Joey - thank you for being generous with your knowledge! Really useful! BTW Is the P-90 your slide pickup of choice?
It's wild these guys talk about bottoming out with the slide. My approach was learning on a guitar that was set up for standard playing, medium action and nines. Now you hand me any guitar with elevens in standard tuning and it feels hard to bottom out
Chords open up so much more when you switch to open tuning
Damn, I just found/heard you play and it sounded great but then you started to talk and I was like “FU.K, ITS IN STEREO”. I’m 61 next month, totally deaf in one ear and Nat a great deal of hearing in the other and I’ve just started playing. I bought myself a Legacy resonator and an el cheapo acoustic. Both my brothers play as does my son. So plenty of brains to pick, as well as you tube teachers. Just wish I was able to hear what you say.
Phenomenal
Man, I suck at slide. It sounds so cool. I need to work more on it.
Higher action
Not a slide comment but when John Prine was asked how he wrote so many songs and why, he said he couldn’t remember other people’s words.
Are there any tips for someone who just wants to pick a slide up and throw a few licks in or on one song in a set?? So no changing your setup?
Matt Flickinger find a slide that is comfortable, not too heavy but not too light, will help to keep string noise down and help you get used to the right feel for it. Just like with standard picking, learning to mute the strings you aren't playing helps to keep the licks clean as well
anyone knows the exact tunnig is using in this video and it if it can be done with regular guitar or if it has to be Baritone inevitably?
Nice rack focus to the pedals as Landreth sez "...I am a pedal junkie".
He makes it look easier that it really is
I always teach amazing grace as a 1st guitar lesson.
I'm a dobro player though :-)
How do we transform regular guitar into dlide guitar, should we change the nuts?
I wish he would a standard lesson..
I'm glad he cleared up the Sonny thing straight out of the gate. He definitely didn't sound like him. Very good though
@Guitar thank you for making this recording.Going through all the effort of recording the video and audio professionally, then failing to mix the latter professionally, is a bit of a shame!
What the heck 7:52 🤣 I love this man
How high are the string set?
What tuning is he using ?
what is your tuning?
18 mins in and I finaly realize hes at that pedal shows place lol
I've gt my laptop turned up full, but still can't hear some of this. Why?
Low volume on video- pretty bad if there's background noise.
that intro is so tasty
Alright so a fellow slide guitarist here and bouncing back n fourth in terms of string gauges.. right now I use D'idarrio balanced tension strings the heaviest they will start at is 11 and the heaviest string is a 50 but due to my finger strength I have reduced the 50 to a 42 for the low E from the same set. Both of my necks are properly adjusted and all of my guitars are in open E all day everyday so there is no going back n fourth to toy with tension on the neck. In short is this ideal for slide guitar in open E?
I use 11 gauge strings but no matter what I do my bottom strings bottom out because the action is still too low near the nut on my guitars... one is even shimmed up with a bit of card and still my low E string will not ring out properly. Should I just bite the bullet and have someone craft new guitar nuts for both my guitars?
I fret out heavily on the low strings despite having a brass slide they still wont ring out and sound god awful. My action is about as high as it can go without the expensive option of getting new guitar nuts made or bought. Very frustrating
Have you tried just adding a bit more neck relief using the truss rod? It would have the effect of raising all strings.
If I were you I would take my guitars to a decent tech and ask them to take a look. Most won't charge for having a look at the guitar to say what can/should be done, some might even turn the truss a little for you for free, but at least you'll know what you're looking at. From what you say - treble strings good but bass fretting out - it could well be a twisted neck, the forces on any guitar neck tend to twist them that way, especially old style single truss rod ones. If you look down the neck and see slightly (or any) more bow on the treble side than the bass that's what it is. That is a pain to fix (it can only be compensated for, really). But bottom line, get it looked at and get more info. An issue with the shape of the fretboard could mean you're wasting money on a new nut.
theres no way its my necks I have had techs adjust the truss rod and its straight. I have done adjustments 3 times.
Fair enough, just a thought. What did the techs say about the nut? From what you say, with the problem being up near the nut, it sounds like that could be it.
12:03 I lost it 🤷🏻♂️
for me going up another gauge of string would be grueling for my right hand. I should mention I use a brass slide so the natural weight of the brass adds the pressure I dont have in my hand to consistently keep pressure on the strings without me having to dig into the guitar too much.
its much easier for me to play on strings 4 through 6 than the lowest pitched 3
That’s funny, I quit playing slide also because of Sonny. I just figured there’s too many slide guys around here already (New Orleans)John Mooney,Sonny Landreth,Anders Osborne. But Duane Allman was my original guitar hero so I finally said f;@k it and went back to slide. Ironic cuz I’m touring with Sonny now.
27:00 I knew he was Obi-Wan Kenobi
slide guitarist for 5 years now and I honestly cannot play anything on my lowest string. My action is raised and my string gauges are 11's but I constantly bottom out on the lower strings without notes ringing out. whats the deal? Action is raised on both ends of the guitar as well.
try heavier strings for more tension- it should help with the bottoming out
@@Br4dSp34d thanks I will try an even heavier top string mine is only a 42
@@mattmanley7118 did it help you going up in gauge?I have the same problem 😞
I would like to ask joey what he thinks about fretboard radius. Which is better? A flatter or rouder, one? And, please, Joey, come to Brazil!! #gayforjoeylandreth
What’s that thing behind the nut?
It’s a capo
This would be a great 3rd wheel in the G3.
I waited 20+ years to get properly into pedals. Spent most of my playing life with either no pedals or one analog rack reverb/delay. Would sit on top of my old tube combo, the rack had a little spring inside! Delay, 300ms delay time, no subdivisions or tap. Amp gain, two channels, ride the volume & tone pot, split coils - done.
Listen with headphones.
26:30 Mick behind the camera? 😄
Hard to hear this!
It's OK if you're biased about your amp; it's biased, too.
Alex Stanley nice joke! Is it bc the transistors in the amp are biased?
Is that a nail under Joey's nut end of his guitar? I dont want to have to buy a new nut for all 3 of my guitars could I do this on a strat safely?
pretty sure I need a new nut because despite the heavier strings and brass slide I keep bottoming out on the low strings and my action cannot go any higher. damn.
matt manley replacing a Strat nut is piss-easy, dude. Give it a go!
It looks like a shubb capo. You shouldn't need a new nut if you use really heavy strings, in theory. But I have a reverend guitar with a floating bridge that will not downtune without buzz. Even when raising bridge saddles and using fat strings.
It's a Paige Capo.
volume way too low
...and the ad came in like! Bang!!! :-)
I always assumed he was Sonny's kid
I cannot hear this at all. It sounds like whispers. I'd really like to hear this, like, really badly. Any chance you can normalize the audio and reupload? Please?
That would be awesome it sucks you gotta have a damn good set of headphones and blast em to hear anything
@@BurntMcgurnt I’m guessing it’s been fixed, cuz this all sounds fine to me.
@@MikaelLewisify right on I just checked it again it still sounds shit on my end and I have damn good headphones
@@BurntMcgurnt that’s so weird because it sounds totally fine to me.
@@MikaelLewisify that is wierd I've checked it on other videos too and its blasting just not this one
“Waltzing Matilda” Australia’s new anthem according to Joey 😂😂 speaking of which, hindsight Aussie tour!!!???
Is this Sonny Landreths son r relative?
No. They aren’t related.
@@christophertoledo968 this is actually the first thing he talks about in the video. Lol
the strings strung over the top of the bridge is tripping me out
It's a wrap around, it's supposed to be like that
Can tell right off the bat he likes using flat wounds
So no one has mentioned Shaun Verreault from Wide Mouth Mason as one of the best BEHIND THE SLIDE players!? But Ill have to say this guy is fucking amazing and on same level as Trucks. Top 2 slide players in the world
Alister Junior Ian Thornley is an absolute beast also.
too soft - c'mon this could be gold
WHAAAAAAAAT!?!?!?!?!?!?
So you have to be named Landreth to play slide. No wonder I suck.
Can't talk about slide guitar without mentioning Derek Trucks
Can't Hear You Talkin....
Would be a Good Video with a Proper Audio Mix.
Open E makes so much more sense than standard tuning
