Hi everyone, just joined
I have been playing guitar for a year now and have mainly played rock/heavy metal music. I have always thought
slide guitar sounded really good in american country music but that is not a style that i am interested in.
So i started learning blues.
I want to learn bottleneck but have no experience with a slide and need advice on what to do.
I have an sx strat copy with a one way[down] whammy bar which i don't use[it detunes the guitar] and a slightly bent forward neck. it cost me $200 australian and i want to use it for slide.
I also have an epiphone sg g400 vintage with really low action which i am using for jazz, rock, metal... and most everything else
With it costing $800 aus, there is a big quality difference but i don't want to raise the action so i'll use the strat copy.
i would apreciate any advice on setup, technique, types of slides, good music to listen to[both blues guitar and bottleneck] and whether i should get a teacher or just learn of the net.
