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.

  Steel and Slide Guitars

I was wondering, as I can't play either type of guitar, if the steel guitar you see so much in country and western bands is played just like a slide guitar? What I see going on between the two looks like they both are used in the same manner. Also, are barr chords the only chords that can be played on either?
Thanks in advance,
hb
