When you use a slide, you must hold it right over the fret, not behind it, like when your using your fingers. Remember to do this or you'll sound off key.

If you want a smoother sound...you can raise your strings from the bridge. *raise them in general*

This makes it cleaner so your strings aren't slapping against the neck and the whole "slide" motion is a lot more fluent.

If you have never tried one, try a coke can or a 'smooth' bottle of anything.

It's very easy to learn, I'm sure you'll figure out how to use it yourself.

Scar Tissue by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, or, You Aint Seen Nothin' Yet by BTO. Those have cool slide guitar lines.

Metallica's version of "Turn The Page' ... Also "Ain't My Bi*ch" solo.

Pink Floyd "High Hopes" (not so easy).

Steve Vai's "Bad Horsie".
