Slide Guitar

I think it would be fantastic if someone posted so helpful hints about slide playing. or just send an email to me at [email]wejward5150@hotmail.com[/email]. I am a pretty good shredder a la Eddie van halen. But i woudl also like to learn how to play slide like duane allman. help!!! even a couple licks would be useful. Please recommend other good sites for slide playing. Thanks

i guess no one knows how to play slide??? please help!!!

Sorry I don't play slide. I would give you something but I don't really know anything. I did buy a magazine that has some slide licks in it, but it's at my real house (I'm away for a small vacation). I'll post some up once I have the mag.

I can play slide a little, though I'm not good at it. Two things that make it a hundred times easier is to raise the action on the guitar (most players have a guitar set to the side with the action raised for playing slide on) and tune to an open tuning. If your not familiar with open tunings, it's basically tuning your guitar to a chord (open C would be tuning your guitar to where when you strum the guitar without any fingers on the fret's, your strumming a C chord.)

I don't really call my self for a man who can do the Slide,
But I have one at homa and I don't give a **** how you "supose" to play !

Take your slide and turn up the reciver (amp?)
and Just Swing It man !!

Slide along the neck until you find a place were it sound's god !! ;)

Look for live Shawn Lane videos. He does a hell lot of sliding, and you might be able to figure out how he does by looking at those videos?.. hmm.. :D

Shawn Lane was a guitar genius, but I've never heard him play slide guitar before... It's quite possible that he has, as I'm not familiar with his entire library of songs.
