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. |

New Guitars: Carbon Fiber Single Cone and Tricone!
For some reason it won't link directly to it but, it's worth the trip. They are real cool looking guitars.

I had to hunt it down but eventually I found it.
Pretty cool looking.
I understand its a custom made guitar, but it seems to me for that much money you can either go with a National Resophonic in brass for about that much, or the Martin XL for less than half with a cutaway and electronics, a lifetime warantee and a hard case.
Looks nice though.

There's a guy over here in the U.K. named Alan Timmons who made a few carbon fiber reso's back in the mid-80's called F1 guitars (...so called 'cos his main job was constructing racing car bodies!..) The have an interesting sound - extremely loud & with a very light weight. Didn't win over the traditionalists though... 
Slide On!

hi Ian. I have heard of the F1s. I look for tone, durability and light weight in a reso. I could care less about tradition. If I cared about that, I wouldn't be playing in dropped D since very few old blues guys used it..Given a choice between a 25lb. national and this much lighter reso that also has more volume- no contest.
By the way, how is the new line of dropped D slides comming? Do you have a price for them yet?

The thread seems to have been removed. There was a statement about finaly removing blatent commerce from the forum. Cosidering the endless plugs for the more traditional guitars, I find that hard to believe. I hope it is not that the traditionalists have decided carbon fiber bodies are an affront to their guitar gods. I hate cults!

I was wrong. The thread is still there but buried. This link is more direct and has sound clips of the single and tri-cone. I don't have enough experience with resos to judge the sound. How do you think it compares to nationals?
