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.

  dobro player here

hi i play a dobro style guitar in my lap . my preferred tuning is DADGAD and i was wondering if anyone else here plays this way ? also i can't seem to get the hang of finger and thumb picks ... feels much more natural with plain old finger picking w/thumb and fingers....sans picks . am i doing this the wrong way? is there any skydog fans here in the philly/bucks county Pa area that wanna get together and jam/record here at my place sometime? send me an email if so!

So long as you're making music, I don't think there's ever a right or wrong way, chrisnickey64. I also use my bare fingers, I hate the feel of finger and thumb picks. I used to use them though ... a hundred years ago.
