Does anybody know how to use a slide corretly? I was just listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan´s Slide Thing, and I was wondering how to get that effect on the guitar, How should use the slide on my left hand, do I need to use a different tuning on my guitar? What is the main difference between a glass, a metal, and a bone slide? I also like how joe perry uses the silde in some of Aerosmith´s songs to make a good rock n´roll sound. If anybody knows about this, please let me know. Thanks: Richard https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...-guitar-lesson/ I'm not sure about what makes a slide unique, maybe Muris can help you! -------------------- |

With slide it's all about the touch. You must practice the touch, and be gentle with it. Also the strings action must be high enough not to cause buzzing. No need to learn different tuning - you can practice in regular guitar tuning. Slide is a technique that just requires a lot of practice that's all. For starters, work your way with 4th intervals on two strings, and one note whole step slides. Then move on to some of more advanced licks.

Thanks: Richard Hi Richard If you are beginner to slide I would do as Ivan said, first simple licks like 4ths on 2 strings etc. Also be sure to have proper action on your guitar, legato playing and slide playing are usually enemies, can't play both that nice on same guitar And about material,I really can't tell much about that, I have both glass and metal slides,each works fine for me. Maybe you should try them all to see what fits you the best for early start? This post has been edited by Muris: Dec 30 2007, 01:56 AM -------------------- Youtube

Hi Richard
About Musicman Axis I owe,it's equipped with Stan Hinesley custom pickups atm, since I endorse Stan it's not huge surprise I would say. But to be honest,I haven't touched Axis since I got my custom from MK Guitars Floyd Rose at Axis and my MK custom are both of same type,you can only move whammy bar down-way lowering the pitch, I find it much more cool,tuning is a lot more stable,better sustain etc. Epiphone Les Paul and Squier Strat... Both are fine imho,depends of what you like,play and how deep is your pocket. Deal is to have proper guitar to your plying level at the moment and I think these 2 are fine solution for you now. Latter on when you upgrade yourself you can try to get something "better", mean something that will fit you nicely. -------------------- Youtube

If anybody knows about this, please let me know. Thanks: Richard I hear people say that metal slides give a milder tone than glass, but I have a metal and a glass slide, my glass slide gives a much rounder/milder/fatter sound than the metal slide, wich gives a much sharper tone. When you play slide you got to mute the strings with your left hand. For example if you have the slide on your pinky you got to mute the strings with your other fingers. It's as simple as resting your other fingers over all the strings. I would definitely use open D or atleast drop D. But not everyone use open tuning. Muddy Waters and Eric Clapton used standard tuning. With standard tuning you can't really play much more than single notes. You can do major chords on the D, G, B strings and minor chords on the G, B, E strings. So I recommend open D tuning. Muddy Waters standard tuning Bjørn Berge open tuning Johnny Winter open tuning This post has been edited by Robin: Dec 31 2007, 05:12 PM |

If you wanna see some awesome slide stuff, in addition to what robin posted check out Sonny Landreth. He pretty much has a whole style based around slide.
Example Example And John Hiatt is pretty awesome himself (less noteworthy as a guitarist though perhaps). Also check out Ry Cooder. Ry Cooder Both of these guys have some pretty awesome solo careers (especially Cooder who does all kinds of music) and I'd suggest checking them out. Also Cooder and Landreth at some point have played with John Hiatt before such as in Little Village (Cooder, also with Nick Lowe in the band, definitely worth checking out him too) and Hiatt's own solo stuff (Landreth). George Harrison as well but I won't post an example. -------------------- Gear: Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster, Gibson '67 RI Flying V, Mesa Boogie F-30 112 combo, crazy pedals.

It's as simple as resting your other fingers over all the strings. Or you could just use a Hoolahan Slide on your ringfinger ... really gives a lot of fleksibility Check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3FQ0EPQURY Added a picture of the Hoolahan Slide: This post has been edited by Twibeard: Jan 4 2008, 09:45 AM -------------------- Guitar: Ibanez RG370DXCE my backup is a Fender Strat.
