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. |

How do you store/display your slides?
I've accumulated quite a few slides by now, maybe a dozen or so.
I always envied the displays I sometimes would see in guitar shops counters. I think Dunlop has a kit they sell to dealers when they order a dozen or more slides that includes a nifty wooden display.
When I saw Sunny Landreth on a Blues Cruise he had a rack that all his slides rested on.
I ended up getting one of those mike stand attachments that Dunlop makes that combines a pick holder and slide holder. Great for one slide, but didn't solve my problem.
Around here we have a chain of stores called Michaels. It is a crafts supply chain that sell dried flowers, glitter, felt, glue- all kinds of picture frames and lots of unpainted wood objects to make things out of.
One of the items is a wooden coat rack. It s pine, and consists of 4 wooden dowels, drilled and glued in a row to a 8x3 " board. I think they were $1.99. Hmmm- instread of hanging it on the wall, they make a perfect slide holder display rack.
I bought two of them. They rest on my backline amp and hold 8 slides- ready for action, and sturdy too. One of these days I'll spray paint them but for now I like the natural wood look.

I store mine on my pinkie! Seriously, I so rarely have it off at a gig that I have a couple of spares in my kit bag, but mostly it's attached to my pinkie. At home in Australia I usually have boxes full of them that I have made, and as soon as I get home late May, they'll be on sale again.

I use glass bottle necks. I make them myself.
I have several, but I usually have a favourite one that I store in a little felt bag in my road case.
Sometimes I find myself walking around not even realising that I still have my slide on my pinky.
I've lost a few down the piss trough at various gigs.
I'd rather a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Luther Tatum from Big Heart slides gives you a little leatherette drawstring pouch with his his glass and ceramic slides. Nice touch.
Levy's guitar straps makes little leatherette pouches that are perfect too. I got a bunch of them at the NAMM show.
But the wooden coatrack is a cool way to have your slides arranged for display and easy access.
