Mick Taylor, a former member of the Rolling Stones, brings his years of guitar expertise to this Hot Licks Video release. With deft fingers and an ear for the right note, Taylor attempts to pass on the lore of the guitar by throwing his bag of tricks onto the table. Focusing mainly on Rock and Blues slide guitar, Taylor also examines the finer points of how to use a bend while playing the Blues, the vibrato effect, standard tuning slide, and how to use the slide in an open E tuning. Many people enjoy the sound of the slide guitar, some have made a living on it, but if you just want to be introduced to it and see if you like how it sounds with your playing, then Mick Taylor is a competent coach.
