Handmade 3-string guitars are often fretless, which means that in order to play chords and melodies, the player must use a finger slide to change pitch and add inflection. This 3-String
Slide Guitar DVD will cover tunings, songs, riffs, beginner and intermediate slide guitar techniques, rhythms, and road-tested methods to mastering these instruments and developing slide guitar technique the same way many of the most famous and prolific musicians of all time did.
