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.

dropped D setup question
lately I've tried the tunning and found it great as I like to play on 4-5-6 strings mostly and it's easy to go into some 7th chords and so on...
But now the 6th string lacks tension to play slide over it. Moreover I have a short-scale guitar and if I' not mistaken that meens the strings have less tension.
Any hints on the case?)
I use '10 strings so going up to '11 or '12 is acceptable if it helps.

It cant hurt to bump up a gauge or two overall, especially for slide on a short scale guitar. Alternately you could just try a heavier low E if your high strings are not fretting out.
I play 11-52 electric and 12-56 acoustic. My teacher used a 14 on the high E!
