Brett Garsed shares his innovative approach to bending the rules of traditional slide guitar with techniques like angling, hybrid picking, behind-the-slide bends, adjacent intervals, faux harmonica effects, and much more.

Course Overview
Intro: Why Slide in Standard Tuning?
Discover why you don’t need to retune to unlock the rich, vocal magic of slide. Brett shares his journey, explains how standard tuning keeps your full fretboard vocabulary intact, and sets you up with the mindset and goals to make the most of the lessons ahead.
Chapter 1: Slide Guitar Foundations
Get your hands and guitar ready for slide. You’ll explore how to choose the right slide, how to wear it comfortably, and how to set your guitar so it works for both slide and regular playing. Build essential skills like muting unwanted noise, landing notes in tune, and creating smooth, singing vibrato.
Chapter 2: Standard Tuning Triads
Start making music immediately with chord shapes you already know — now enhanced by the slide. Learn how to move them up and down the neck, join shapes together, and mix single-note lines with full, ringing chords for instant musicality.
Chapter 3: Slide Angling Basics
Learn the simple tilt technique that opens up a whole new set of sounds. Practice smooth transitions between angled and straight positions, and connect notes in a way that makes your playing feel more fluid and expressive.
Chapter 4: Advanced Applications of Slide Angling
Go deeper with angling to create richer textures and longer, more connected lines. Develop your control over slides across multiple strings, and learn to build phrases that flow effortlessly across the fretboard.
Chapter 5: Incorporating Hammer-ons & Pull-offs
Combine the slide with classic guitar legato techniques for maximum smoothness. You’ll work on timing, articulation, and fluidity so you can create fast runs and vocal-like melodies without losing clarity.
Chapter 6: Adjacent Intervals
Connect notes on neighbouring strings to create flowing, melodic ideas. This chapter gives you practical exercises for shifting positions seamlessly and keeping your lines connected and expressive.
Chapter 7: The Sonny Landreth Approach
Blend fretted notes and slide for ultimate versatility. Learn how to add quick embellishments, subtle chromatic touches, and fluid shifts that give your phrasing more depth and nuance.
Chapter 8: Pedal Steel Imitation
Recreate the soaring, emotive sound of a pedal steel. Practice holding some notes steady while others move, shape your melodies for maximum emotion, and bring a lyrical quality to your chord work.
Chapter 9: The Guitarmonica
Make your guitar sing like a harmonica. Focus on vocal-style vibrato, call-and-response ideas, and adding space between phrases so your melodies feel alive and conversational.
Chapter 10: Putting It Together — Solo Study
Bring all the techniques together in a complete performance piece. This chapter is your chance to blend chords, melodies, and textures into one cohesive, expressive solo that shows off your progress.
