lyrics

WELL I’LL TEACH YOU HOW TO PLAY THE SLIDE GUITAR
IF YOU DO IT WELL, YOU’RE SURE TO GO FAR
WITH PLAYING SLIDE, THERE’S NO SET RULES
YOU’VE JUST GOT TO FIND WHAT SUITS YOU
BUT IF YOU WANT TO HAVE SOME FUN THEN
LEARN TO PLAY THE SLIDE GUITAR.

FIRST YOU GO AND BUY YOUR SLIDE
TRY ONE ON AND FIND YOUR SIZE
SOME LIKE STEEL SOME LIKE GLASS
SOME LIKE BONE, SOME USE BRASS
BUT WHEN YOU HEAR THAT SINGING TONE YOU’LL
WANT TO PLAY THE SLIDE GUITAR

WELL YOU PLACE THE SLIDE ON THE STRINGS LIKE THIS
COVER THE FRET SO YOU WON’T MISS
THEN YOU DAMP THE STRINGS WITH BOTH HANDS
SO YOU’VE GOT THE NOTE AT YOUR COMMAND
WHEN YOU START IT DON’T SOUND SO GOOD BUT
KEEP ON PLAYING THAT SLIDE GUITAR.

NOW YOU’RE PLAYING THE SLIDE GUITAR,TRY TO FRET BEHIND THE BAR.
YOU CAN PLAY IT COUNTRY, PLAY IT SMOOTH
PLAY IT ROUGH, PLAY IT BLUES;
BUT IF YOU WANT TO LEARN SOME MORE THEN
HEAR THE BEST IN SLIDE GUITAR

PLAY THE BLUES WITH ROBERT JOHNSON
DUST YOUR BROOM TO ELMORE JAMES
TAKE A TIP FROM OLD BLIND WILLIE,
SIT ON THE PORCH WITH FRED MCDOWELL
HEAR THE TONE OF RY COODER, MOVE YOUR FEET TO LOWELL GEORGE
GO DOWN SOUTH WITH DUANE ALLMAN
TAKE A SLOW RIDE WITH BONNIE RAITT
AND IF YOU PRACTICE WHO KNOWS ONE DAY
YOU MIGHT BE A MASTER, SO JUST SLIDE DON’T FRET
