How to Play Slide Guitar in Standard/Dropped-D DVD by Kirk Lorange
If you really want to spice up your playing, slip a slide over your pinkie and add it to your musical vocabulary. There's no need to re-tune your guitar to an open tuning, just stay in standard or lower that bass string down to D. Kirk shows you how in this 70 minute DVD, talking and playing you through the basics, vibrato, muting, playing single note lines, finding all the chord flavors (they're all there!) and mixing it all into one very neat hybrid style of playing guitar. To order or to find out more, click here. |

My favourite slide players are (and in no particular order)
David Lindley, Kirk, Dave Hole. There's probably others.
I don't know if anyone has heard kirk play live with chasin' the train (or their demo ), but their version of Layla is the best version I have heard anywhere outside of the original.
Cheers
Cameron

I'll post my favourites
1- Derek Trucks (his playing with Clapton on the recent tour was awe inspiring)
2- Eric Clapton (one of my favourites guitarists of all time)
3- Dan Rumour (from the Cruel Sea) I love the sound.
4- Kirk Lorange (I remember when 'We've come a long way' was released as a single- I also remember the video)
5- Chris Whitley (if you haven't heard him play- you need to)
6- Joe Walsh (saw him play live at the Village Green in Melbourne with the Party Boys a long time ago, I will never forget the great vibe)
7- Ry Cooder (although he dissapoints some times with poor songs and too much other noise around his playing)
8- Jeff Beck
9- George Harrison
10- Johnny Winter ( I don't know why I forgot about him when I was thinking of number 7)
11- Matt Corcoran and George Thorogood for redneck rock/blues
I've probably forgotten many others, but these come to mind straight away as my favourite slide players.
I wish I could play slide!!

I'll check out Chris Whitley if you check out who played the slide on Layla..Duane Allman.
Another addition for top fifty
Gene Hardage 'Sarasota Slim'
opened for Winter in the 70's Florida circuit.
I consider 'control' and lack of 'string noise' to be paramount
to top notch slide playing. That being said, I am not a producer/agent..etc. but if I had one of those posh Long Island
studios..I'd be getting ready to count the cash, because i'd have Kirk
working out numbers with the leftovers from STP and Cornell.
I have been fooling with slide for over thirty years..(it pains me to say that..lol) and Kirk is WAAAY better than Derek. Duane Allman
would have been in awe of your ability Kirk.. and I am too old to blow smoke for no reason.

Thanks Csason,
I didn't include Duane but I should have put him in there. I have plenty of Allman Brothers music and of course all of Derek & the Dominos stuff. He's one I missed. OOPS.
I still prefer Derek Trucks.
There is one more great thing about Kirk Lorange, .... he teaches what he knows. That's priceless!!!

sliders
Wow, I didn't know this thread was still going! In my post a few mo.'s ago I forgot to add Joe Walsh to my list...........can't believe I left him out! I saw him proform at a small auditorium in Melborne ( Florida) a few years back..he lives about 40 miles from there,..he drove over with a couple other guys and put on an awesome show,..dressed in his old dirty Levis and tee shirt and a John Deere tractor cap. I think that show is what got me interested in playing slide. Ceedodie

First of all I have to omit the orginal slide guys because different time and technology. They didn't have the benefit of all the knowledge and technology that todays sliders do. But for me these five are the ones I love. Maybe not the best technically but who I enjoy listening to.
1. Sonny Landreth...(check youtube video with Hiatt *circle back*..amazing)
2. Duane Allman...(Layla need I say more)
3. Bonnie Raitt...(saw her in 1977 at the Continental Club Austin TX.)
4. Ry Cooder...(master of the pause)
5. Rod Price...(listen to some old Foghat and you'll see)

Van Wilks,
Man I.m from Austin and I jammed with that guy about 7 years ago playing harmonica and you wouldn't believe how far down he has gone. Slightly deranged about his sound..we must have spent half our time waiting on him to tweak between songs. I remember in 1975
when he played with a band called Fools in Austin and he was the king of the town. Great band and he was so different than last time I saw him.
