Happy Birthday (to me!) 😁 Can’t decide if playing happy birthday to myself on slide guitar is the saddest thing ever or not 😂😂. Day 91/100 #100daysofslide #happybirthday #itsmybirthday #slideguitar #guitar #sadboy #gettingold #guitarist (at Leighton Buzzard)

A tiny bit of Joe Bonamassa today. Not sure if this is a song, I got it from a video of him talking about slide playing so I think it’s just a jam. Of course, being Bonammassa, it should be much faster! I’m definitely going to spend some more time with Joe and slide!

Got this cool little lick from @johnbohlinger video lesson with @premierguitar called ‘behind-the-slide blues’ in case anyone wants to check that out. It’s in standard tuning but because all the cool stuff happens on the top two strings it would be easy to put into open e or d tuning.

A little bit from Vaseline Machine Gun by Leo Kottke today. Thanks to @jtdawsonmusic for suggesting this one. The slide side isn’t so hard but the right hand was a nightmare, and still don’t have it anywhere near full speed! The original is on 12 string guitar which sounds amazing.

Smokestack Lightin’ - Howlin’ Wolf. Not a slide tune but a great riff that I thought might work well on slide. Day 87/100 #100daysofslide #smokestacklightnin #howlinwolf #blues #slideguitar #coversong (at Leighton Buzzard)

Into to Pony Boy by The Allman Brothers. Really enjoyed this one. There is another really nice bit later on in the song so might do that bit another day.

The opening lick to the steel guitar solo on Super Blue by JJ Cale. Today is definitely a ‘something is better than nothing’ day… Day 84/100. #100daysofslide #slideguitar #jjcale #superblue #tulsasound #guitar #somethingisbetterthannothing (at Leighton Buzzard)

This is the very first riff/lick from Keb Mo’s ‘Am I Wrong’ which is a really great track! Had to work a lot on my slide angle to get it clean, still needs work but hopefully I’ll get further into the song next time!

Did quite a bit of practice this morning covering a few different things. End up messing around with this Celtic sounding vibe, maybe it’s all the cold and snow getting to me!

This is the lick over the IV chord in the solo from Hey Baby by JJ Cale. Lloyd Green plays it on steel guitar. Haven’t got the rest of the solo down yet so this lick will have to do! Day 70/100 30 to go! #100daysofslide #jjcale #heybaby #lloydgreen #slideguitar #steelguitar #troubadour #countrylicks #countrymusic #twelvebarblues #blues #12barblues (at Leighton Buzzard)

Footprints - Wayne Shorter. Thought I’d have a go at something a bit different today so here is the head of Footprints, I think it works quite well for slide.
