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. |

Uh-oh.
Ian is back from vacation and already posting to the Forums his first day back?
A rolling stone gathers no moss, but plenty of green, eh?

I'm glad I found this thread.
My first question was going to be about cutting glass slides. I have two of them which I've had for about thirty years. I like them both (maybe I'm just used to them) and haven't had much luck with any other glass slides (like the small Coricidan type bottle that I bought a few years ago).
The problem is that both of these slides (one is fairly thick glass, probably 3/8" and one is very thin) are too long and I'd like an inch cut off of each. Since I like these so much, I don't want to chance it myself and was wondering where to go.
I'm going to hit the phone book to see if there is any stain glass shops around here.
Thanks,
J

Thanks Diamond. I see a place right near here and I'll ask them if it won't cost too much (and if I get the feeling they understand what it's supposed to do when finished). I may take you up on your generous offer otherwise.
In the meantime I went to your site :shock: !
Wow! I'm going to think about what I'm really looking for in a slide and see if you can make one like that. Of course I would prefer to try one out before I buy one, but if I can really see what's important to me and specify that then I should be happy with a custom one I'd think.
I do know that the inside fit on the pinky is very important to me. This is one reason why I can't use that Coricidian bottle slide which I almost like for other reasons. Things like the lead crystal material and the more exotic shape aspects are things I hadn't considered before.
Great site and great products!

Thanks Johnny & Marty - much appreciated. Yep, the advantage we offer is that we can pretty much match any internal diameter you wish with our lead crystal 'Ultimate' range of slides.....we've created glass slides featuring I.D.'s from 1/2" up to 1 1/4" :shock:
If you ever want to talk about having a custom slide made - drop me a line & i'll be most happy to help
Happy Slidin'
