Tim Williams

This is a very interesting video. It covers some different territory and unique approach to slide playing and some general techniques of guitar playing as well. I liked the easy going style of Tim and his more folk like approach to playing. The video includes the following:
- G and D Tuning
- The constant and alternating bass thumb techniques
- Cool Turnarounds
- Funky Right Hand techniques
- Soloing in Open G Tuning
- Slide Guitar Techniques
- Ragtime – Jugband Guitar Styles
- Dixieland Major/Minor moves
- Blue 3rds
- Country Blues Techniques
- Lots of comparisons and hints to the styles of the great acoustic blues players
- Double Stops
I would grant this a thumbs up, with a minor hesitation, because Tim does not do a great job explaining his licks so a beginner could understand them. That said it it still a good slide guitar instructional course.
