How to Play Slide Guitar for Beginners

Here's a video lesson that's great for any beginner guitarist or just anyone new to playing guitar with a slide. Slide guitar is great because it has a very cool sound, you can also play all kinds of different blues, bluegrass and surf music without worrying about complex fingerings!

This lesson covers the basics of slide guitar, to follow along and learn, simply tune your guitar to drop D tuning (D - A - D - G - B - E), or drop your lower E string to D from standard tuning. This tuning is the basis for many slide guitar songs because the slide needs to bar across different strings and create chords. This is possible with drop D tuning because it leaves your lowest three strings in a root-fifth-root configuration so that you can play power chords with a bar over the strings.

Enjoy one of the easiest guitar methods that any novice can pick up quickly and sound great right away!

How to Change Chords on the Guitar

One of the greatest challenges that a beginner Guitarist faces is learning to change chords. The best way to learn to do this is by starting out with chords that have very similar fingerings. You'll find that when learning to play chords this way, you actually rewire your brain to think of chords as shapes rather than fingerings. You can then begin to play more and more complex chords and easily move between them.

To see what I mean, view the video lesson and practice along with the different chords that are demonstrated. Once you've been able to play two chords in sequence, you can begin to put more together to form different songs!
