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. |

Outside Influences
I find that many slide guitarists are only influenced by other
slide players, this seems weird because of the way the slide
sounds so similar to the human voice, a sarod, or the alto saxophone.
As a matter of fact, Joss Stone has influenced my slide playing
more then say, Duane Allman, or Derek Trucks do. To me slide
is more of vocal expression through a guitar rather then "normal"
guitar playing.
Anyone else have outside influences?

About 20 years ago I was backing up a Melbourne singer, Sharon Anderson.
I didn't know the songs, so I just copied her vocal lines.
It worked well, and gave me an insight on how "vocal" the slide is.
My mates and I used to copy people talking, for laughs. Just plain speech, and phrasing. It was fun at the time, but with retrospect it was probably good training.
I've copied trains, chickens, seagulls, sirens, drums, all sorts of things.
The slide is pretty cool for emulating sounds.
I'd rather a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
