I'd love to be able to
slide in std, but I get all these dissonnant notes sounding when I do. But I'm a beginner, and I haven't yet mastered the proper muting techniques. I use my strat for sliding (equipped with 9-42's). Now you are all prolly gaping "how can you slide with those puny strings?!?", but I'm primarily a picker who loves bending more than life itself. Plus I only have one axe I really use. I'm working on getting a resonator, though, eventually, sometime, when I have the ca$h...
Anyway, this is the reason I'd like to learn to slide in std--because of the insufficient axe factor, and because retuning is really a pain, even though alternate tunings sound awesome. I can play the slide solo to Zepp's "Tangerine", and Jeff Beck's "Beck's Bolero", which are in std tuning, but I can't really do much else.
