Well I do luv this slide stuff but, my pinkie finger needs to go to the gym and work up some muscle, it feels as tho its bouncing a little at rest. That and learning more steady/consistant control with the attack from my thumb. After I get a grip on those mechanics then it will be time to add the non-slide single notes to my playing. Of course I still need work on tone and timing and ...and... and...

Kenny,
Thats just great. How can we not love this place.

[allthumbs]

Good start X. Now work in some tremolo.

[X4StringDrive]

Thanks Eddie, you got that right!

Thanks AT, will work on it!

[CanuckTodd]

Cool.. was that you on piano too? Slide adds a dramatic tone.. like something bad happened.. or is about to...

[X4StringDrive]

Thanks Todd, I just do the chord changes and the keyboard does the rest. Yeah I love the sound of slide, can't wait till I get further down the road with it.

It is very cool, I am looking forward to giving slide a go. How are you getting along Kenny (Even if the pinky is a bit tired)?

[X4StringDrive]

Hi Kriss, Thanks! Luving it says it all. Kirks DVD has so much to offer that I had to put the brakes on a little. Right now being as this is all so very new to me, I'm concentrating on mainly making clear sounds. Trying to mute properly and learn the fretboard in drop D tuning{not that hard but still, this is me we're talking about}

You're gonna luv it Kriss and I'll be waiting to hear you when you get going.

That was an interesting sound was it done with one of those metal
things you wear on your pinky?

[starsailor]

Slide Kenny slide, you're doing a great job and I find your positive approach to learning very refreshing, this is cool

[X4StringDrive]

Thanks Tom, yep...done with one of Kirks custom slides that I got when I ordered his DVD lesson on playing slide. This was done on the low 3 strings only, the D,A&D using standard tuning but with the low E dropped to D. I was using one of the presets in guitar rig 1 for the effects, this is something I'm enjoying as well...discovering new tones.

Thanks Chris, its the great support here that keeps it easy

I'm scared now!! I had to take a look round to see what monster was coming to get me!!
Very different X4, I enjoyed that, in particular the lovely piano playing

[SlickCat]

Ok....Im gonna name that song GODZILLA !!!!
Nice job Kenny...your intonation was right on.
Give us more...try some smooth distortion use your neck pickup add mids to the amp tone back off treble a wee bit...its all good

[X4StringDrive]

Thanks SlickCat, but I don't think Godzilla is going to make Jomi feel any safer. lol

Thanks Jomi, at least half of it pleased you...I'm gaining I'm gaining

Thanks SlickCat for the tips, between Kirk, you and allthumbs, I may just get there someday.
