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. |

Ho do I set up a Tele for slide?
Help! I'm dedicating a Tele to slide and want to know how to raise the bridge and nut for slide? Is there some plate you can get for the bridge, then use a taller nut blank (bone?) and cut for heavy stings? Can someone point me in the right direction?
A big thanks,
Mark

All I did was put on a set of .012-.052s. No other change. The strings aren't binding in the nut slots, and the action's OK for sliding or fretting. It's still very nicely intonated, too, I didn't touch that.

Set up a Tele for slide
Dan Earlywine (sp?) has a good book in print that has all you need to know to set up acoustic or electric guitars. Make new nuts, do bridge and saddle adjustments, rewire pickups, you name it. Stew Mac has it and so do lots of otheres.
