Must-Know Slide Guitar Tips that Save Years of Practice

If you’re serious about learning slide guitar, this video is just the beginning.

I’ve spent decades refining my slide technique across electric, acoustic, and resonator guitars—and in this video, I’m sharing a handful of the most important tips that can save you years of trial and error. But if you’re ready to go deeper, to develop your slide playing step-by-step and build a real foundation, then check out my full slide guitar courses at https://JustinJohnsonGuitar.com.

The Slide Guitar Essentials course is designed to give you everything you need to play with confidence and control—even if you’ve never picked up a slide before. We start from the ground up: choosing the right slide, tuning, setup, technique, and muting, all through structured lessons and song workouts that build real musical fluency.

Then, when you're ready for the next level, Slide Guitar Mastery picks up where Essentials leaves off. It dives deep into advanced techniques, expressive phrasing, slide in Drop D and Standard tuning, expanded theory, and full song walkthroughs, and backing tracks. It’s designed to help you play with nuance, emotion, and clarity—no matter what style of music you're aiming for.
