Have you tried putting up notices about this on your local shops windows or on notice boards?
Apart from that, and/or having a look online, I'm not sure where else you could look. But it's almost a sure thing that someone else on here may have a good idea on what you could do. So stay tuned!

I been looking on internet but I find only basic blues shuffle and rhytm...I have a wish to learn more and specialy with the slide.I know that is dificult to learn that thing but anyway I have a wish to learn.

For the Delta blues style, I don't think you can go past Bob Brozman's DVD series on slide guitar.

Nenad,

There's already a number of good lesson videos here on this site by Kirk. You can find them here.

If they are not what you are looking for then you might have to try another website. It's unlikely you'll get step by step instruction on any website. If you are looking for step by step instruction the best thing to do is to take lessons from a teacher in your area.

Heres a some good bluesey slide songs, my first slide song was you got to move by fred mcdowell, and he is the master of delta slide I think.

Heres "You Got to Move", a great slide song for beginners of the slide, or as the bluesmen called it, the bottle neck

And heres a little harder one, muddy waters's "I Cant Be Satisfied:

http://www.slidingzone.de/SLIDINGZON...Satisfied.html

Heres probally the most famous slide song, or lick, of all, elmore james's "Dust my Broom", Its easy to play to:

This ones not exsacly a blues song, but a fun song to play, and pretty simple, its keiths slide lead for "No Expectations":

http://www.slidingzone.de/SLIDINGZON.../Noexpect.html

Heres a good slide site over all with some other good slide songs:

http://www.slidingzone.de/SLIDINGZONE/tabs.html

Theres some other slide sites but there not so good as the "Slideing Zone"

Anyway, I hope you find this stuff helpful and I hope you can discover some other great slide bluesmen, have fun.

You can google or do a search on Yahoo or any other search engine for terms like : blues lessons or blues scales or blues chords, slide guitar lessons etc and find lots of links. A lot of the information is abstract to some extent but what blues is about is playing the major and minor penatonic scales for the most part. The most basic blues chords are E and Em and A7 and G. by playing these chords in a pattern like Em,A7,G you have the basic blues sound. To vary from that is basically you picking strings within each chord to get a sound you like. slow bending of the strings and poping the strings on the notes within the chords ad's your own touch to that. A old guy told me one time Blues aint about a style it's about a feel! Play what you feel! That makes it real to! Ive been playing a long time but am not real good at slide guitar and for me it's hard to get a feel for it but the procedure is simple it's all in the touch and feel . to some people it comes easy but for others you have to work at it. I use a glass slide right now but think I will change to a metal slide as they seam to have more friction and grab. Ive played with a lot of types of slides and a piece of copper pipe has more grab so you dont slip all over the strings making you sound sloppy. some good slide players go real fast but to start you might want to just cut some copper pipe as its soft and will grab the strings more so you dont slip all over the place till you get a feel for slide guitar. Then you can change over to a glass slide if you like. It takes time no matter what and I played for five years every day till I even got good at it! Some people are great quick. I taught my sister how to play the guitar and in six months she was great! Freaked me out that she was so good so quick but it was more natural for her I guess. Just remember each person is diferent and dont get frustrated and it will all fall in place in time.

Peace
