Electric Slide Guitar [With CD (Audio)]

Electric Slide Guitar by guitarist and educator David Hamburger is a focused instructional method for players who want to learn and develop authentic slide guitar technique across blues and roots styles. Designed for guitarists building a solid foundation or refining their approach, it introduces essential concepts such as slide selection, proper guitar setup, and both open and standard tunings in a clear, progressive format.

Presented in standard notation and guitar tablature, the book includes guided exercises, musical examples, and stylistic studies that reflect the phrasing and approach of influential slide guitarists. The included online audio, accessed via a unique code, allows players to hear every example in context and practice with precision using PLAYBACK+ tools that enable tempo adjustment, looping, key changes, and stereo control for a more flexible and personalized learning experience.

Through focused lessons on lead phrasing, rhythm accompaniment, and expressive articulation, this method helps players move beyond mechanics into musical storytelling. By studying techniques associated with artists such as Duane Allman, Bonnie Raitt, Muddy Waters, and Ry Cooder, guitarists gain insight into tone, dynamics, phrasing, and stylistic nuance that can elevate both practice sessions and live performance.
