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.

  Question about my resonator?

I just began playing bottlneck back in December and but have played guitar for about 6 years. I recently purchased a cheap Regal Resonator on ebay. I don't know much about how to set up the resonator and would like to know if there is any way i can get mine louder. I've noticed the screw in the saddle that goes to the cone but I don't know exactly how I should adjust it. Is there any way I get can this thing louder or will I have to upgrade resonators to get a louder sound?

thanks

The mushroom mod tends to give you more volume and better lows. A National cone upgrade helps too.

Ok So I can put a National Cone in my guitar. Do you know about how much that would cost?

It should be easy to google. I haven't looked at prices in a long time. There are also third party cone makers out there that specialize in cone replacement.
These are well respected.
