Hi I'm Rock Tobey and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to demonstrate some slide guitar. Sometimes it's useful to use some open chords, without actually using the slide. For example you can play the G chord open and you can play a G 7th chord like this. Or you can play it like this. Then you can play a C chord like this and then back to the G. Then a D chord like that. It's useful for example if you wanted to do something like this. That way you're incorporating open chords with the slide. It gives you a lot more variety of things to do.
