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. |

Any info on this guitar?
I found this guitar in New Orleans a few weeks ago (and no, the couch is not mine..). The name "Fessler & Furst" is written on the headstock and it features an old Supro lapsteel pickup and a Hipshot bridge, which allows you to preset different tunings. It would be great if someone has more info on this guitar and it's builder etc.
Thanks!

I asked the guys at H.C. This was the only response I got. sorry. looks like it has been seriously moded
I think I remember the name "Furst" as a good guitar builder (and fair priced) from the tcheque (or slovakian, or both...) republic. But I don't remember his instruments looking so wild as the one shown on the link.

Hi again and thanks for your answers! I also asked about the guitar at some other forums and I was told Fessler & Furst is a small guitarbrand in Switzerland, more like building oneoffs and customguitars. It also seems like this particular guitar was built for a swiss guitarist called Max Lässer.
Allthumbs, sorry, I don't have soundclips of the guitar at this point but I sure will use it on a recording sooner or later, it's a great guitar.
