I want to get into playing a little slide. Mind you I wasn't going to set up a guitar specifically for slide or even adjust the tuning. I just want to play a bit on my regular guitar in standard tuning.
Anyway, do any of you have any good resources you'd recommend? Maybe there's a decent book like "So You Want to Play Slide Half-Assedly"
I was going to order one of those crazy Shubb Axys slides that spins around to accomodate quick changes between fingers and slide. But then I thought - is that how Robert Johnson got his slide? Did he call up Musician's Friend and order one? Hell no. I don't want no pussy slide!!!
So I got me a bit of 3/4" brass tubing and cut a 2 1/4" piece and polished it up a bit. Them's the authentic blues, man. At least, as authentic as this WASP can get.
