Play Slide Guitar Like Elmore James Elmore James only knew one lick, but you had the feeling he meant it. – Frank Zappa
Part of Mr. Zappa’s remark, maybe that’s because I marvel at Mr. James’ slide playing. Besides, how could Elmore become the King of the Slide Guitar without knowing a few licks?

The opening bar is played on the middle three strings with the slide over the twelfth fret. Then in bar 2, join up with the band and chug out the rhythm part. The next few bars alternate this slide – rhythm part with a couple of short slide licks thrown in to keep the feel going.
The four chord and the five chord rhythm parts need a little special attention to play properly since you have the slide attached to one of your fingers. My finger of choice is my ring finger. So normally, when I play the typical blues shuffle I use my ring finger. That doesn’t work out too well with the slide attached! So I will use my little finger instead. Go with what works for you but be sure you nail the chord properly.
The lick finishes up with a classic open G turnaround to get you back to bar 1. Again, take care to keep the slide out of the way when fretting the notes in the turnaround.
