what's your favorite music that you play with slide? or musics...

my favorite is Ganges Delta Blues by Ry Cooder (at least he plays it)

[allthumbs]

any kind of blues of course. But,prettymuch anything. Since I play dropped D, I noodle with whatever catches my ear,jazz,ballads,rock,pop,whatever.

I've been studying early Muddy Waters lately.
When I was a kid, I thought he was hopeless, just playing like a beginner.
I had to mature to understand where he was coming from.
The more I study the little things he does, the more I realise he is a monster player, with subleties that are hard to nail when you transcribe his music.
Check out the Parkway cut of "Rollin and Tumblin" w/ Baby face Leroy and Little walter.
Also, "I Cant Be Satisfied" a Chess recording w/ Big Crawford on Bass.

I'm with 'thumbs--I like it all, from Bach to the boogie. My playing sort of reflects that, in that I know a little about alot of things, and next to nothing about one thing!

I like most anything if it's well rendered, but I really do admire the music I first heard: big band. My dad was a great enthusiast and played it loud. When I listen back to those tunes now, I know every note, every nuance, and they're all strokes of genius. How a couple of dozen players could set up grooves like they did is beyond me ... playing with one other person is hard enough!

I'm with Kirk- I like almost anything if its played well with feeling.
My slide teacher got me started on lap steel after I was fairly proficient on slide blues. that let to the C6 tuning which led to western swing kind of sounds. I just picked up the Cindy Cashdollar instructional DVD with variations on Dobro for swing and minor. Shes working in G6 tuning, and open G for the Django kind of stuff. I just started with those lessons but my intention is to apply it to bottleneck rather than lap Dobro and its very, very cool.
