The technique of using a slide whether a metal tube glass bottleneck or a knife was used by many of these early bluesmen.This lesson offers a look into the players from that era that used this technique. Many had only one or two patterns by which they played but we have the great fortune of gleaning from them all creating a well rounded grasp of the genre.
