- When Boscoe France plays slide guitar, you can hear bottleneck blues, the Louisiana soul of Sonny Landreth, country licks better-suited for a B-Bender Tele, and more than a few other genres and influences. Today he's in our studio, doing more genre-bending and showing us how to apply these techniques to our playing.

The Best Slide Guitar Player in this lifetime. Good luck finding any better. On top, he’s the most humble & Loving Human on this planet.
I'll never forget the first time seeing Boscoe play. We were competing against each other in GC Battle Of The Blues district finals in Indianapolis. I thought I had a chance until he took the stage. I was a few feet from him studying his playing closely and I'd never seen anyone fretting behind the slide as smoothly as he did it. I was blown away. I told my wife, "that guy has a chance to win this whole thing". Sure enough, a few months later, he did.
This dude is not only an incredible slide player, he puts on an incredible show.
If you get a chance to see this man perform, do it. He blows the roof off every time. Huge fan.
👍🏼 great playing. Needs more bubbles.
I met Boscoe one time at Island Music in LaPlata, Maryland very nice guy! He was there representing PRS and I was thinking about purchasing a SE Custom 24, well Boscoe took it up on stage and played it! I purchased it and I have been chasing that sound of his ever since and its been a couple of years now! Was he wearing shoes this time? Lol
Nice one, Boscoe.
Thanks Boscoe, all good stuff, this is where CZcams is so good. Regards slide (particularly country-slide, and picking) I would recommend anyone, whatever level, the great Arlen Roth. An excellent teacher and killer musician of just about every style known to man, disciple of Roy Buchanan who could play slide without even the need to use one!
For blues (and country blues), it has to be Mick Taylor, the art of making it sound simple yet sweet, no-one gets near him for tone.
Even very basic slide enhances so many country songs, but man, for that style, ditch the crazy distortion
nice, and very nice tone too.
0:42 I thought my audio was acting up for a second.
0:54 g bender maybe?
What type of PRS is that?
CE Core model. You can only buy these in the S2 version now.
Fender 50's Strat thanks! funny thing is, I actually have this exact model; it’s my dads who died and I never knew the name!
He's had that thing since 1998.
@@Ttechnicolor I think those older ones are much better than a new ones.
Yeah they have a one piece quarter saw neck. The full carved maple top, American made pickups and tremolo.
Cookie Monster knobs
can i get a Ukulele anyone? lol.
5:42 Without a WHAT!?!? Well that doesnt quite seem worth it.
Reverb has gone corporate. Reverb was sold to Etsy and has changed. Beware, it isn't the same and doesn't work the same, support is not the same. Reverb sold out.
Some people can play, some can teach. Some can play but not teach. Great playing, but pretty confusion demonstration as far as seeing what he was doing there in the intro.
It's just the intro anyways. He demonstrated his technique fine later on. If you didn't get it I'd reccomend watching it a few more times
Jon S, fortunately there ARE still a few who can play AND teach but I understand your point. Teaching is so misunderstood, as I continue to discover when people offer to assist with computers, assuming everything!!!
Navigate to a part of the video where he demonstrates the technique and switch the playback speed down to 50% or 25%. Watch that part several times slowed-down, and you'll get it. No rocket science is needed to master it. Just a lot of practice.
