Shane's back with another request...this time for the late, great Robert Johnson's "Preaching Blues."  This lesson is for a 3-string slide guitar, tuned low to Open E (E-B-E).  

First, let's hear the original.

Now on to the lesson.  Take some time on this and pause/rewind the video as needed.

  • Love these lessons, Shane. I'm astounded that you are still taking time out from what I'm sure are very jam-packed days to share some of these classic blues tunes. If you build and don't play, you're literally missing out on half ~ if not more ~ of the fun of being involved with cigar box guitars. Much appreciated! Please keep on blazing a path back to the heart of the blues for us!

    I'll grab my electric 3-string electric wash board from the wall of the hobby (CBG) room and will learn this song asap !! 

  • Hendrix used this same riff in "all along the watchtower"listen for the muted tone .
  • This song sounds good played with distortion also
