I play slide!
This is my second attempt at playing slide. Although I love Little Feat, Bonnie Raitt and Sonny Landreth, I've never tried slide myself until yesterday. I posted a version of Slick Cat's Jazz-Blues BT and I wanted to include a bit of slide, so I bought one. Kirk, and many others made some very encouraging comments, (one of the many great things about this site) so I dug in this morning and wrote a song which had slide as a feature. To me, it sounds OK, I left in the mistakes, it's a first take after two run throughs.
Thanks to everyone, especially Kirk and Slick Cat, who've turned me on to a technique which I've ignored for 30 years!

Your doing great. A bit more control to get the slide right over the fret wire and it's all good. Just more practice. Good muting technique and clean notes. Nice

Thanks guys, I had a great time doing this. I wish I could record vocals better, but that's for the future. I like the last bit a lot by the way, bum notes and all! Charm has it's place!

Theo. thanks so much. I really get a great boost from posting here. I've recorded, and learned, more in the last eight months than I have in the last 30 years.

I probably never listen to how other songwriters write their songs, I just write on using my own imagination. windsong

Ian, this is a blast- I can't believe you just picked up a slide and started playing like that.
Awesome tone on all the tracks.

Gene, Theo, Chris, Chris, thanks so much for listening. I did grab the bull by the horns there, it's not perfect, but it's better than I'd hoped. Cheers guys.

Very impresssive, Ian. I have a feeling you're going to be wearing that slide from here on in. It really is the most fun way of playing I reckon.
