How to Play 'Hip Shakin Mama' on Slide Guitar: Part 2

Hi I'm Rick Tobey and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to demonstrate some slide guitar. So this is how we would play Hip Shakin Mama using primarily the slide. In order to play the G cord with a slide we could play in on the twelfth fret, so the first part of the song. So the first part of the song would go like this. So basically what we are doing is we are using a pick or you could use your fingers if you prefer. And with the slide on the twelfth fret you can stroke or strum the guitar using the right hand to kind of muffle it a little bit. And you can also pick some individual notes. You notice that the slide just stays on that fret and I just kind of wiggle it back and forth.
