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.

Very, very nice doveman. You've got the groove goin' on that one.

It reminds me of when I was growing up. I grew up in Des Moines, which is only 400 miles from Chicago. There was this group from Chicago called Duke Tomato and the All-Star Frogs (!!) that came to town on a regular basis and they sang that song. We always had a blast.

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.

Those are nice comments ... my vocal range is kinda limited. I have to pick and choose carefully. When I played in bands, I only sang background parts ... always liked doing that ... but lead vocals is a struggle. I think I did OK on this one though and appreciate the comments. I also like the sound of acoustic slide but have not done much of it ... almost all electric for me. Glad it was enjoyed by you guys.
