  Oh Muris! I love you!
- Travelin' Man19th August 2007
  One question Muris. I notice your using your pinky to slide with. I find using my middle or ring finger gives me better control. To your knowledge, is there a ruling on whcih finger needs to hold the slide, or is it a comfort thing?

  You make everything look so easy, and then you give out great detailed explanations which make it easy(or easier) to learn, thanks alot.

  wow the muting is tuff, maybe you could do a lesson on muting?
- Muris Varajic20th August 2007
  Thanks a lot guys,appreciate yours comments a big time!!!
  Slide is really different approach in playing the guitar,so I truly wish this lesson will make it easier!!
  
  Travelin' Man @ I used pinky cause I couldn't stick middle into slide!! But really,pure truth!!
  Still,it's individual matter,some use middle,some pinky.
  You take what makes you more comfortable and go ahead.
  
  Dashooter @ As I said,muting IS tricky for slide playing.
  Consider this as my first slide lesson,and I will talk lot more about muting in second one,ok?
  
  Cheers guys!!

  What finger you use is just what you're used to, doesnt really matter. I personally like to have the 3 other fingers free for switching beetween normal playing and slide.
  
  Note: Dont put too small slides on your middle finger... It gets stuck... >_<

  Cool Muris, your the man in the know !
- Nick32520th August 2007
  nice but what do you mean high action?
- Muris Varajic20th August 2007
  Action is distance between strings and fretboard/frets.
  Slide has tension to hit frets if action is low which makes lot of noise...

  Muris, is that a gibson es 335?:|
- Muris Varajic20th September 2008
  No Jesse,it's a Washburn,a less expensive model tho.

  This would be hard! I've tried it with a spray can before! I found out that you have to have the slide in the exact spot so it will be on key!
