An introduction to slide guitar by Brother John explaining 2 ways of playing bottleneck slide guitar.
1. Single note style with right hand muting.
2. Used in conjunction with the alternating bass style where the slide is used mainly on the first string.
A simple version of Blind Willie Johnson’s ‘Nobody’s Fault But Mine’ is used to illustrate this approach.
