Lots of people “play a bit of slide”, but very few play it with confidence, authority and expression.

Even for experienced “conventional” guitarists, slide guitar presents some serious challenges
- playing in tune, keeping things sounding clean and controlling vibrato are just some of them!

Played badly, slide guitar can sound like cats fighting, or a beginning violinist…

But once you have your skills together, the tones you can create and the emotion you can wring out of a guitar with a slide are out of this world.

I’m here to help you do just that.

  • I bring decades of guitar teaching experience and a deep passion for helping others develop confidence in their playing.

  • I’ll break it down into manageable steps, make it simple and help you make real progress.

If you’re wondering where to start, you can check out some of my teaching on the One Finger Guitarist YouTube channel.

Then, when you’re ready to take things a bit more seriously, check out the in-depth slide guitar courses and Zoom lessons.

It’s going to be a wild ride, so strap yourself in tight, and get ready to take your guitar playing into a whole different dimension!
