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.

  Heavy slides vs Light Slides?

As the title suggests, What slide do you prefer? Or do you use both depending on the mood and style of the song?

For me Ian over at diamond bottlenecks is making me a heavy slide so I can also use it on my resonator.


Ok now discuss


Slide $27-$50
New strings $4-$6
New Cord $45

I like heavy on Resonator and acoustic.....semi heavy on electric. Light slides lose tone and sustain.

Heavy brass slide. Heavy strings are my preference.
