I find that many
slide guitarists are only influenced by other
slide players, this seems weird because of the way the slide
sounds so similar to the human voice, a sarod, or the alto saxophone.
As a matter of fact, Joss Stone has influenced my slide playing
more then say, Duane Allman, or Derek Trucks do. To me slide
is more of vocal expression through a guitar rather then "normal"
guitar playing.
Anyone else have outside influences?
