  • Greetings from Granada, Spain!

    Welcome to my new lesson!
    This is an exercise to play a rock solo with bottleneck or slide guitar technique in normal tuning.
    It is a bit difficult to play clean notes with overdrive, be careful with the noises.

    Music Style:
    70's ROCK

    Tonality & Chords:
    E Major tonality
    E, A, D, G Chords

    Techniques:
    To play slide guitar in normal tuning it is important to make scales with vertical movements. If you play with overdrive then you have to take care of the noises produced by bottleneck (slide). I use my right hand palm muting to do it.

    Sound:
    I used ENGL Amp with Overdrive. The guitar is a classical Gibson Les Paul Gold Deluxe from 1974. I use the bridge pickup with all tone down.

    Tuning:
    Standard: E-A-D-G-B-E

    Tempo:
    90 BPM

    E
