Ariel Posen's Slide Storyteller

Electric Slide Guitar Masterclass

Memorable solos tell stories. And not unlike a great story, great solos have an arc that engages listeners with its opening, peak, and resolution. That’s why the textural, and vocal-like qualities of slide guitar will take your storytelling to a whole other level.

Ariel Posen’s Slide Storyteller is a slide masterclass for pros and practicing guitarists alike who are eager to heighten the expressive qualities of their solos and improvisations, in both standard and open tunings.

”Crafting a compelling solo is not just about scales, arpeggios, or technical skills on the fretboard. Of course, these are all important tools to master but a memorable solo moves the listener by telling a story.

The more expressive we can be with our playing, the better we’re able to bring out the essence of the story we’re sharing with our audience.

I’ll show you how to play “behind the slide”, emulate pedal steel, incorporate drones, combine bass notes, and many of the other creative approaches and expressive techniques that I use frequently when soloing.”
