Hi I'm Rick Tobey and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to demonstrate some slide guitar.

So for example, I'll play a little bit and show you what I mean. So in this case you just kind of hit on some notes mainly using the strings in the middle of the guitar and going back and forth from the fifth fret to third fret and the open strings.
