Licks, Tricks and Special Effects in Open G
from Slide Guitar by Greg Horne

What does an introduction to slide playing have in common with movies about aliens? Neither would be complete without a few special effects. In this lesson you'll get some new tricks that come from lap steel playing, Hawaiian music, and the wizardry of Sonny Landreth. This lesson is in open G tuning, but contains techniques that apply to any tuning. So what do you say we beam up and get started? Launch the lesson.
