HOT199
Lee Roy Parnell is a slide guitar player of the highest order!
An American country music and blues artist, singer, songwriter and guitarist extraordinaire. Since 1990, he has recorded nine studio albums and has charted more than twenty singles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks – three of which peaked at number 2.
In the early 2000s, Lee Roy Parnell made a shift back to the bluesier sounds of his early works, releasing two blues albums on Vanguard Records and Universal South. Besides his own work, Parnell has played slide guitar and resonator guitar on several other country and blues recordings and is an in demand session player. “Midnight Believer” was named among the Top 10 Blues albums of 2018. In January 2019, Gibson issued Parnell’s signature guitar, “Abilene Sunset.”
On this HOT LICKS DVD, Lee Roy Parnell delivers in-depth examples of both acoustic and electric slide playing. Using E and G tunings and covering both blues and country, Lee Roy deals with scales for slide, emulating blues harp, vibrato and slide control, glass versus metal and using a capo.
It’s a real professional’s treasure trove of tricks, tips, and techniques brought to you by a star player. For anyone interested in slide guitar – whatever the genre – this DVD is a must have in your reference library collection.
