Editorial Reviews

Learn to play the blistering guitar solos, churning rhythms and wiling slide sounds that have impressed Roy Rogers’ fans worldwide.

Roy has been called "a force to be reckoned with" (Guitar Player) and "an exceptionally articulate slide guitarist" (Rolling Stone). Now he teaches his award-winning style along with dynamic arrangements to several blues favorites.

Roy covers all the essentials—how to get into open tunings, hold the slide, play with vibrato and proper intonation, and develop a powerful picking style using plectrum and fingers. You’ll progress to advanced slide techniques including licks and their variations, improvisations, harmonics, how to play rhythm along with lead riffs, classic endings and turnarounds, use of dynamics, hammers and pulls, and much more. Roy and his band perform all the tunes taught on this DVD. Before long, you’ll be playing Look Over Yonders Wall, The Sky is Crying, Walkin’ Blues, Tip Walk and Black Cat Bone.

Don't mess with the rest!
RR shows and tells you what to do, and within 30 minutes or so you too can play slide guitar! Okay, not like Roy but satisfying enough that you keep plugging through the harder stuff. And Roy helps you with that too. The format is very helpful. The camera and Roy let you see what is happening with both hands. And of course DVDs are great because you can keep slowing things down and going back. I recommend this to any guitar player who ever said, I sure would like to try slide guitar.

I learned and am learning so much from this DVD, it's got live footage of him and his band and then he breaks it down for ya', I am an intermediate slide player and an advanced fingerstyle blues player, I recommend this to everyone, it's so basic, yet so advanced, it'll totally open up the world of slide for you and explain sooooo much!
