SUMMARY:Bach's Lunch:  History of the Slide Guitar
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nFrom the dusty porches of the rural South to the world’s biggest stages\, slide guitar has shaped the sound of blues\, rock\, and beyond. In this immersive clinic\, CCMS faculty Jarred Garneau traces the powerful lineage of slide guitar from its roots to the modern masters. \nWe’ll begin with the pre–World War II pioneers who defined the foundation of slide guitar\, exploring the raw\, emotional playing of artists like Robert Johnson\, Tampa Red\, and Son House. From there\, we’ll dive into the electrified revolution led by Elmore James\, whose fiery tone and signature riffs reshaped the blues forever. \nThe journey continues into the rock era with Duane Allman\, whose lyrical slide work brought the instrument into stadiums and redefined its expressive potential. Finally\, we’ll explore the modern voice of slide through Derek Trucks\, examining how tradition\, soul\, and technical mastery merge into a truly contemporary sound. \nThrough listening examples\, demonstrations\, and historical insight\, this clinic offers a deep dive into the evolution\, techniques\, and spirit of slide guitar across generations. \nThis event will be held in our historic Recital Hall. It is free of charge and open to the public\, thanks in part to the generosity of the Walker Fund. Donations are appreciated.
