Hi all,

Been playing guitar on and off for a few years now and am still fairly rubbish... My biggest problem is I haven't had much experience choosing guitars so don't really know what's good and bad.

I want to start learning to play blues with a slide and was wondering if anyone knew any decent electro-acoustics for around £300? Looking to sound like Jack White, if I get the right guitar I'll just have to work on the talent...!

Tom.

Well the first thing you will have to do is learn open tunings if you want to sound like him.
Slide guitar is a bit less demanding in terms of quality of your guitar. You can find cheap guitars that just sing under a slide. Best thing to do is take your slide and try a bunch of them in your price range. Sometimes you will run into a real blues dog waiting to be bought. Good luck. Your looking for a semi hollow body with a humbucker pup in the neck position by the looks of what he is playing in this vid
