Definitely Worth It!
Learning slide guitar in standard tuning is not hard but it is hard to find a good instructor on the subject. This course was great in developing the slide technique, learning cool licks and full solos to awesome songs, and it also teaches you how to navigate scales with the slide so you can develop your own improvisations. Even if you know all the notes on the fretboard and many shapes for scales, it is not entirely clear how to shape and phrase a thick slide line and this class gets you there. Definitely a lot of fun and gets you a lot of props from the audience!
Standard Tuning Slide Course
I recently purchased the Standard Tuning Slide Course after going through the Blues Method 1-5 Course. John's instruction is very thorough and detailed. He adds to his teaching little nuances such as slides and rakes that can make a huge difference. He is truly a student of the blues and seems to enjoy passing on what he has learned to others.
Slide in Standard Tuning
I thought the DVD was really good. I have been playing slide for a while and found the patterns and licks helped a lot. I generally use a pick but now occasionally use fingers too.

Standard Tuning for Slide guitar
Purchasing the Standard Tuning Slide Guitar DVD's has given me much confidencein my slide playing. The DVD's have taken my slide playing to the front of the stage. I have audience members coming up to me after a performance and tell me how the slide playing was excellent. I have been playing guitar for over forty years but I believe my slide playing would not have come this far without John's DVD's.
I had major breakthrough and improvement with these DVD's
I had taken lessons and tried several online resources to try and improve my slide guitar playing, but these discs made the light come on for me. John breaks down the fundamentals (muting, raking, picking, etc.) and then shows you how to apply them to licks and solos. He shows you how to play each lick both at full speed and slows it down so you can see his technique. Everything is tabbed with easy to use PDF files and there are even backing tracks so you can improvise and come up with your own licks and solos. This is a resource that I would highly recommend for anyone that has tried to learn slide and thinks they will never get it. I know I will keep coming back to this for years to come. Well worth your money. In addition if you're a fan of the Allman Brothers and specifically Dickey Betts you should get that lesson as well. I learned countless techniques in that lesson that I've been able to apply to my own playing. These lessons are the best I've found on the web.
