Feedback
thefireball22nd June 2010This 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!
Muris Varajic20th September 2008No Jesse,it's a Washburn,a less expensive model tho.

Action is distance between strings and fretboard/frets.
Slide has tension to hit frets if action is low which makes lot of noise... 
Nick32520th August 2007nice but what do you mean high action?
mattacuk19th August 2007Cool Muris, your the man in the know !
Robin19th August 2007What 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... >_<- 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!!
Muris 
Dashooter20th August 2007wow the muting is tuff, maybe you could do a lesson on muting?
exorcyze19th August 2007Beautiful! Now I'm gonna have to set the action up high on one of my guitars, can't wait! =)
- Smurkas19th August 2007
That's really nice Muris. Now I'm going to have to buy a new slide since I managed to lose my last one
- Robin19th August 2007
YEEEAHHH!!!! This is GREAT!
Gen19th August 2007gonna learn it right now, so awesome!
Iluha19th August 2007You make everything look so easy, and then you give out great detailed explanations which make it easy(or easier) to learn, thanks alot.
Travelin' Man19th August 2007One 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?
blindwillie19th August 2007Oh Muris! I love you!
The Uncreator19th August 2007Amazing Muris!!
So many people including me have been waiting for this, great stuff!!
Hemlok19th August 2007oh awesome, i just got a new glass slide too

Hello GMC,it's time for a Slide Lesson!!
I saw request on the forum tho,so this is my contribution to that :)
I chose blues 12 bars and chord progression pattern,which is quit easy to understand why...
There are few very important things I must say about playing with the slide.
First of all,action of the strings needs to be as higher as possible cause low action will cause you lot of noise etc.
Second,you MUST set the slide ABOVE fret,not between them as you do while playing with your fingers.
And third thing,muting is something you need to think of all the time.
I'm doing it with my right hand fingers,holding stings around the one that I'm playing on.
I'll try to explain all these details while we go through lesson:)
This one includes:
-playing with slide
-"pick and fingers" picking
-blues chord progression
-right hand fingers muting
-E major scale,E minor pentatonic scale,E blues scale,E Mixolydian
and much more
Have fun!!
