Guitar seminars high school today I'm gonna cover slide and finger picking

My boys are at work me having coffee . All students can attend regardless of grade level last time we did this maybe 15 kids showed up.
I’m taking my Tokai Les Paul from 79 if you’re gonna go slide why you need Humbuckers I bought it in 85 off another GI in 85 maybe $275.-$300
I ordered bundles glass slides online well the music teacher did kids can take them home with them and practice.
Standard and open E

I personally would like to sit in with this classically trained guitarist hope I can.

Not sure what I wanna get these kids started with we have four hours starts 09:00
Definitely some Allman brothers
Trouble no more
Or Aretha Franklin and the weight
Definitely a nod to Elmore James as well
Maybe Blackfoot train train tell you poor shorty Hunlocke and the lady he wrote that song about 😂

Just gonna have blast do not get serious on me children we’re having fun.

But you know what is great when they start getting it you can see them lite up.

1. Rocky Mountain Way. The part is fairly easy, played in standard tuning, and uses every slide trick in the book.
2. Run Run Run by Jo Jo Gunne. That is easily played either in open or standard tuning, and there are some nifty links throughout the whole song.
Have fun.
