I am new to Reso playing and feeling very "challenged"

I see plenty of video lessons for Dobro, but none concentrating on blues slide on an open tuning Reso......old dog trying to learn new tricks here.

Search for Stephan Grossman he produces a Book/ CD and corresponding DVD for beginning bottleneck blues playing. You can probably find YouTube samples. A faster pace would be the 3 DVD set from Bob Brozman.

Good luck

Check out Keni Lee Burges at kennileeburgess@aol.com he has a lot of instructional material and they are all only $9.99. I had one of his 4 string Cigar Box videos and it was great. Check this out, He is also a respected member here http://www.cigarboxnation.com/ and it's fee to join. I believe it is approaching 4-5,000 members. Good luck.

I forgot about Keni Lee's YT videos, didn't know he had lessons for sale, thanks Grizz, I'll check them out myself. I also forgot one of my favourite slide guys, Steve James, he's got a DVD out as well, but not strictly slide.

My first link was wrong it's kenileeburgess@aol.com  and CBN is free to join not fee. Boy do I have egg on my face.

Thanks for the info, as any help is greatly appreciated.

not a lot out there on this subject. I am interested myself. I ran a google search for " bottle neck blues " lessons and I got a few websites. nothing great enough that I think it needs sharing. best you run the search for yourself and make your own judgement. I found a nice app for my iPad called "slide guitar" it had some tab and then jam tracks to play with. It shows open e, g, and d stuff. 3 songs for each tuning. may not be complete songs though, there isnt enough measures to be a complete song. it's maybe 3 days of learning if you are slow like me. the jam tracks are ok. a person can play about anything over a jam track as long as you are in the right chord.

Jake and Tammy.  Here are some sites that I found that IMO are exceptional. I didn't originally post them because I understood Jake to be looking for instructional videos.

maybe he looking for just video lessons. I could have read it wrong or forgot what the topic was by the time I got to the bottom. old age creeps up on us faster and faster. good links though.

Bottleneck Slide Guitar For Beginners taught by Tom Feldmann is a great place to start.

It's an older video, but Arlen Roth's is great

I've been through almost all the DVDs and by far the most detailed and interesting were the 2 DVDs by Mike Dowling on Homespun.
