In this episode, I'm going to take you on a journey into playing your guitar lap style with a slide. Now, this might seem like a peculiar solution, but it's all about gaining perspective and shifting the way you think about playing your guitar. I firmly believe this change can be a lifeline when you're stuck in a rut.
