I was looking on my shelf and I notice that the glass slide I bought a few years back has just been laying there. Need to pick it up I guess.
But anyway, are you a glass or metal slide user. I've never used metal. I do like the balance of the glass slide I do have.
Any of you know a site or use a site for slide guitar instructions that are free
thanks

I have a glass slide but I have never really used it. I got it years ago, before I became more proficient at playing. I found that it was really difficult to use.
I might give it another go soon when I have time, as i do really like the sound a slide can make.
It always amazes me how people can put it on, and take it off again in the blink of an eye whilst still palying guitar continuously!

Reso Hangout and Blindman's Blues Forum have some links, I seem to remember. I use slide a lot, and prefer brass, mainly for control and for the crisper sound it makes in open tunings like C or D.

Slides are for wimps.
I prefer the swings.

I thought all the swings had been removed because a kid falls off once every ten years- and also because they can't be used by people in wheelchairs so they are not ""appropriate""?
Wow, wouldn't you hate to be a kid today? Fat, fearfull, paranoid about a possible pervert lurking around every corner to grab you when you have more statistical chance of being struck by lightning, and in your country under view by one CCTV camera for every 12 residents

Tying to rule by fear. This is a belief that many have. Things are not all they first seem. We are told what they want us to believe and not necessarily the truth!

Is there an echo in here?
Yep, that's why I headed for the hills twenty years ago, , downsized, Thoreaued, eliminated car payments and mortguage, went off the grid, sourced house water supply from the rain and power from the sun, and got off the radar as well as much as possible.
