This is a follow up lesson to "10 Tips for Slide Beginners" where I give you some tips on how to play slide in standard, EADGBE, tuning. I really like playing slide in standard tuning because I can just pick a slide at a gig or in a recording session and add some slippery goodness to the moment and then go right back to playing with the fingers without having to think too much or retune.

Sorry I messed up the I-vi-VI-V, I said IV and played V and said V and played IV. And I say "mkay" too much haha.
BEST SLIDE LESSON I HAVE FOUND.
Thanks Doug!
Learning that harmonised scale is the first time standard tuning slide has started to work for me -and I've had a few attempts. Thanks!
What a remarkable video! You've done a great job finding melodic components on the fretboard I'd never thought of. I got lost for a few hours exploring these ones and fives all over the neck.
I've been playing for sixty years and learned more in those few hours than the last five years.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I've been playing slide in standard tuning forever. This is the best explanation I've ever seen. I wish I would have had this resource back then. Great vid
Great slide lesson. I wanted to stay in standard tuning but felt I was sacrificing so much. You've shown me some great tricks for standard tuning. Thank you SO much!
Thank you for demystifying it all! Picking up a slide tomorrow. Have played for many years and have always been intimidated by slide. Thank you so much!!
At 8:02, I thought you were going to burst into a rendition of Jessica for a second...
Great video - I've always struggled with slide and was never happy with the idea of always having to retune or keep a guitar set up specifically for slide... This has opened a door for me, AND turned on the light...
Thanks...
Nicely done. Very clear and well explained without falling into talking most of the video. Thanks.
Keep them coming… this was a fantastic lesson! I liked the onscreen visual of the intervals as well.
Thanks!
Ohhh this saved my day ! Great slide playing in standard tuning

This video is quite helpful. I rarely play slide guitar. The last time I recorded a tune playing slide, however, I did use standard tuning. It was the only way I could manage to play the melody for Woody Guthrie's song, Hobo's Lullaby. I felt then as if I was "cheating" by playing in Standard Tuning instead of using an open tuning. It's sort of reassuring to know that I was on the right track (no pun intended), and your video has inspired me to work on developing my slide guitar skills, just in case I am ever called upon to play slide guitar again.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic lesson!! Thank you so much. Greetings from Argentina.
Thanks for the video, it’s very helpful 👍
Fantastic video, great ideas.
O wow! Ive just discovered this vid and you Tom. Love the way you are communicating with the fingerboard diagrams which gives a clear vision as to what's happening. As a long time student of slide this clip has been a revelation, thank you. I'll be looking at your site.
Thanks Mark!
Great lessons. Thanks
This is an awesome lesson mate. Thank you
Thanks Tom.
Great info in here!
I have been looking for this lesson for a long time, thank you
Thank you ... very clever aproach!!!
Say hey Tom. Thanks for breaking down.slide style in standard tuning. You expertly got me to see what is right in front of me on the fret board. Much appreciated. You sound like a wicked slide player.
very helpful pattern 👍
Yup- much easier to play slide in standard tuning. Just look for the two/three note chord shapes throughout the neck. Tried to angle the slide for two note licks a la pentatonic boxes, but harder to play clearly. Chord shapes he's showing are great. Good job!!!
Thanks dude.
Thank you so much for offering tips for playing slide in standard tuning. I've looked at several videos, but I like yours best because you actually give scale options. Any advise for learning how to mute strings, i.e., where to place fingers? I'm trying to learn this on my own. Slide is so technical and challenging, but it sounds so sweet.
Awesome lesson, thanks from México !!!.😀👍🎸🇦🇩
This was excellent. Thank you.
Thanks Brad.
Bought a slide a few months ago, haven't touched it. Seeing this video is helping me a lot! Thanks for putting in the time and video. And also a beautiful (at least to me) version of The First Noel.
God bless you
Cheers!
Great video! Definitely had a couple light bulbs turn on
This was cool! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
That trick with major and minor thirds is awesome
Hey Dawg, just wanted to say your tutorial is better than some pro’s working for the G mags!
So really I wanted to subscribe and you know what?, I did!
Super helpful! Love to see some follow up videos on standard slide!
So glad you liked it. Let me see if I can think of at least five more tips.
@@TomStrahle Thanks Tom! One idea....I play in a worship band and use slide from time to time for accent and effect (vs. straight up soloing or being the main instrument). Maybe some tips around effective ways to do that sort of thing and maybe even some effects settings that you favor for slide for different types of songs (I use a Helix as FYI). Thanks again for your videos!
How do i like this more than once!? Fantastic! Great for me as a beginner to slide wanting to play in standard tuning.
Cheers Tom.
Thanks James!
Thank you! :)
You are welcome!!!
Thankyou.... Gbu.
Sounds amazing! I’m trying to learn slide and finding really difficult. It’s amazing you you get so used to fretting behind a fret and how different it is when you have to place the slide over the fret. Your muscle memory wants to argue with your brain 😂 I clearly lasso have to improve my theory knowledge :/
Muy bueno
Really glad you finally got a track out with Bieber that wasnt leaked 😂😂 it’s been awhile. Great job as always👍🏻
I know right?
thanks. This was helpful because I want to do a little this and that with the slide, but at this point I don't want to launch into open tunings and such.
Exactly.
Re minor thirds ... start tilting your slide (easier if you wear it on ring or second finger but still doable using pinky - and it gets easier as you go up the neck). I use minor 3rd interval all the time on b and g strings. Also slanting works great on skip string voicings (e.g. transform your 12th fret G chord using B, G, D strings to a C chord by moving it up one fret and slanting (and skip the G string)) . And if you are more adventuresome you can get a full triad with root on the bottom using D, G, and B stings. And don't forget behind the slide fingering a la Sony Landreth. That takes possibilities to a whole new level. Both for leads and chords.
cool goodjob...I was wondering what effects your using to get your sound...Bill
Hi Tim. I’ve been playing slide in open tunings for years and just changing to standard. I’d like to get some behind the slide fretting under my belt. Is this something that you can do?
If so how about a video??
Cheers
Peter (from Spain)
At first I thought I would learn more than I did
Then either you knew more than you thought you knew or I didn't teach as much as I thought I taught.
are you the guy who played the riff on Bieber’s song ETA? youre so talented
Thanks Buzz.
Hi, I am setting up my strat for playing just like this. Could you tell me what string gauge you are using. It is currently strung 10-46, tuned to Eb
I have bought some 11-50 but have been reluctant to put them on yet ( changing set up etc) in case the gauge is just to heavy to play without a slide. I have a good light touch and some light slides. It would be a great help to know what gauge you are using to help me decide before I mess with my set up. I don’t really want to raise the action and make the guitar difficult to play normally. I am looking for best compromise.. hope you get to see this and can reply. Subscribed:)
No need to ever change your action or setup for slide. If you just let the (Not Heavy) slide just rest on the strings, the slide won't be heavy enough to push the strings on to the frets. I use 9's.....Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top uses 7's. They're all fine. Just use what gauge you normally like.
NICE,,,,new to u! is this guitar set up for slide? meaning thick strings high action?? or can you get this with standard action and just 10 gauge strings??? thanks!
That guitar is not set up for slide. It has normal action and .010's. The dunlop glass slide is pretty light on the strings. With a normal set-up metal slides can be more difficult, but not impossible.
appreciate u! hi from nyc! been playing forever but new to slide!!@@TomStrahle
Brill
sounds like george harrison!
I wish!!! Thanks.
What’s the advantage of wearing the slide on the pinky finger? Does it matter much which finger you choose?
It doesn't really matter. Just whatever is comfy for you
When you teach US be SLOW please
Do a tutorial of ETA!
That could happen. Stay tuned.
Tom Strahle great! Congratulations on the song by the way!
Do you mute behind the slide?
I try to, but sometimes I forget. I will also fret behind the slide like Sonny Landreth.
@@TomStrahle Thanks, appreciate the response
No problem.
Go bit by bit when you teach jour students
finally someone playing with their pinky. ugh
Aaaaaa am sorry Tom, you teach very GOOD but "You are fast, you talk fast, you show fast, brevely jour explaintion ils FAST. Be slow aaaaaaaaaaaa you are so fast
You can slow down speed of video
Man that sounds awesome, excellent lesson
