Summary: Decent overall but needs more explanation for beginners
Comment: I got this knowing nothing about slide guitar and wanting to learn from the very basics on up. There are tons of examples and the included CD is great (a must). However, the book jumps right into playing without a better explanation of how to play. For example, one of the first topics is on dampening - very important. But a more detailed description of dampening is required because this is very tricky for the beginner. I found out on the internet that a plucked string needs to be dampened behind the note - dampening is not just for the notes around it. Not explained in the book. And dampening is done with both hands - but how?
I really would have liked some technique passages to work on before getting into actual licks and phrases and a description of how to get the best tone and what guitars offer what qualities (acoustic, resonator, electric, etc.) would have been appreciated. Just rented Warren's DVD from Netflix so hoping that will shed some light before I continue with the book.

Summary: warrens' world
Comment: This is one of the best book/cds on guitar that I own, and I have a couple. Warren teaches slide guitar in standard tuning which is great. Everyone else wants to do it in some open tuning.He starts by teaching some basics like muting and simple lick examples. The cd is high quality and the backing tracks are performed bv govm't mule rhythm on one channel lead (warren) on the other. The licks get more interesting and then lead to a 24 measure example. There are several of these examples a couple are 60 measures.He teaches playing over chord changes utilizing triads and dyads along with some scales. Then gets into advanced soloing and more involved chord changes. Some of this stuff is tricky but really fun, again the cd is really cool, there are even 5 backing tracks at the end. About 40 pages long and 50 examples this should have cost much more. great value great book\cd, a must for anyone who wants to play slide.

Summary: Warren Haynes slide guitar
Comment: Warren Haynes is the best slide guitar player since Duane Allman. I've been playing for over 30 years because of Duane Allman and I love the stuff Warren puts out. You can definitely learn some cool licks from this book/CD combination. A good investment.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great slide guitar tuition in standard tuning
Comment: Learning slide guitar in standard tuning is a great way to add another dimension to your guitar playing with the benefit of not having to retune your guitar. That's not to knock open tunings, they are great too, but playing slide in standard tuning allows the player to use all of their knowledge of scales, chords etc when playing slide. A highly recommended book by a great guitar player and teacher.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent book for a serious guitarist
Comment: This is NOT a beginner's book, but provides excellent samples and written examples of very useful slide guitar licks.
Note that this book teaches slide guitar in STANDARD tuning, not in various open tunings like other books. Practically speaking, this method can provide a non-slide guitar player with the ability to add some slide flair to a song withou having to swap guitars.
