Slide Riffs Following the Chord - Riff Ninja Academy

Slide Riffs Following the Chord

Want to sound good on slide — without learning a bunch of theory first?

In this lesson, Colin Daniel walks you through a simple way to follow the chords and build musical-sounding slide riffs right away. It’s all based on just a few shapes that work great in open E tuning — no note memorization required.

If you’re comfortable with a 12-bar blues progression, you’re more than ready to try this.

Slide guitar can feel like a mystery when you’re first getting started — but it doesn’t have to be.

With the right tuning and a simple approach to following the chords, you can sound expressive and confident without needing to overthink it.

Like this approach? You'll love the full course:

It’s built for players who want to break into slide playing the easy way — one move at a time.

Just FYI, the four notes first used are E, D, B, and A, not E, D, A, and G.

Smoken hot on that one. I just picked it up again for the 3rd time in life and this time it looks good. Looking at stuff like this makes it easy to justify all my Git’Mo’s hanging on the wall, not to mention hard explanation to the Wife and they all new to me within 6 months, But Muscle memory is better and easier to play these days. I even think there’s a song in here some where. Anyways thanks for the info and I enjoy good Ideas like these on the Vid, Have a great day,,, Top of the Day to ya,,, as Pappy would say,,,, LOL
