Hey guys
i got me a dunlop heavy glass slide to work with for now.
I have just started working on playing finger style, at the moment i am working with my thumb, index and middle finger and seem to be going fine. having a little trouble stoping notes when i want then to stop, im just not used to the sustain, but i should get that down in a few days or so.
so far im just playing regular slide in standard, cause im having trouble switching between slide and normal.
I am playing in rock slide position, hand straight tumb in middle of neck with my thumb lined up with middle finger "choking the neck". wheras my lead riffing position is more of a gripping, hand bent around neck thumb just poking out over the neck, which makes bends easier with thicker strings and higher action.
tell me if im doing this wrong or if i just need practice
oh and i put 10-46 strings on my strat copy sounds and feels better that before but i still need to raise the action a bit, cause the fretboard is rounded slightly.
