nice lesson- but ( ...( 8 months ago by DJG105)
nice lesson- but (in my opinion) it's much better practice to keep the slide on your second knuckle as opposed to situating it all the way down your finger- bend your knuckle to keep the slide in place on that knuckle if it's too big. your mileage may vary. From my experience, having the slide on the second knuckle puts your hand in a better position to use your other fingers as well doing slants and such.
Thanks for the ...( 8 months ago by eyeguitar)
Thanks for the comment and advice DJG Slide positioning seems to be quite open to many interpretations of what's 'right' and 'wrong' Also, like some people's preference for different types of slide, be it copper, glass etc... or which finger they prefer to put the slide on! Thanks again for the comment, James

This is harder than I thought (keeping the slide finger parallel to the fretboard) Suggestions? I even have the same slide!!
Not quite sure what ...( 6 months ago by eyeguitar)
Not quite sure what to suggest. It is difficult to keep the slide parallel to the frets! I don't think it's so important when you are playing single notes, but chords do sound better when the slide is in line with the fret. You just have to look at where you are playing with the slide hand and keep practicing. Sorry I can't think of anything more instructive to say! Anyone else have anything to add? Good luck with your playing, James
what type of picks ...( 5 months ago by 187inc)
what type of picks do you sugjest, im buying a new guitar today. i recently played bass for a few months and didnt like it too much. im no so good with fretting and i like blues so i figured i would give slide a try im prolly gunna start with metal finger picks and a plastic thumb pick

Array( 5 months ago by eyeguitar)
Hi 187Inc, I'm not sure what to suggest as I don't like using finger picks. I have long nails on my right hand for playing classical guitar, but I have experimented with finger and thumb picks and found them to be awkward to use. But that's just me.. Sorry I can't make any useful suggestions. James.
