Just thought I would share this really great slide player demo.

Whatever, it be pedal or without getting these little tidbits are great.

Take care Michael

Enjoyed very much. Your slide has pedal like dynamics must be your technique.
Truly a great loss but isn't so true that we keep the music alive and some is totally ageless, still refreshing to hear today these tune like its new music.

Dom thanks for the info. Great knowing that you are not using the latest recording devices. I'm using 10 year and older equipment as well. I also love the recording process but have to focus on balancing between playing and being the engineer. Have found the learning curve tremendous with recording ...

Hi Dom, Great recording, I know we mainly focus on Guitars but p;ease share some of your recording highlights very clean and can hear all the instruments so well. Most of your recordings so clean so I wish you could share some of the devices you are using for recording. And lastly are you playing st...

Great Slide work and your lead guy has the Jive for sure. Thanks for sharing. Michael

Great fun Jam. Love to see folks playing real music..Thanks for sharing.

Yes Morphine definitely slides on the bass I guess you would say Bottleneck style. Course I love the sax too. Its a possibility in my future sliding for sure. Since I did play bass for years could make my Ole Ibanez a sliding monster. But still excited with the Lap Steel Bass slides and Combos. But ...

Chas smith you are the thunder my friend, what wonderful inspiration...These creations rock and you too. And James I'm way impressed followed many threads from both of you. So maybe first I think I'm going to experiment with my Ibanez bass playing it either/Or Bottle neck style or on my lap never th...

Hi Steve thanks for the input. I think now i;m really considering more having two lap steels tied together a 5 string bass and a 8 string. Never played the 8 string yet but am really impressed what I have seen. Seems it would be easier to have a few tied together opposed to bending strings. This gui...

Thanks Steve this will be a future project for sure with more research. Will keep an eye on sales too. Don't want to do anything to my tonemaster so will keep eyes open for a fixer upper that could be added to or maybe one that someone has all ready modified. Sounds like it would be great to play. L...

Posted this video a while back. I love his style and interpretation. The guitar is amazing I was very interested in getting one but the price is like 2 grand probably way worth it for live performances. Still researching on this great steel guitar seems you can bend notes change octaves like a pedal...

Started playing on an Old Stella Lap Steel, Music lessons The United Institute Of Music at the time age 9 1962.

Have heard mentioned a few times about Bass Guitar slides. Through the years have heard a few. Currently where are we at with Bass Slide Guitars. Maybe refereed to has a Steel Bass Guitar. So do we have some sample demos and some craft Guitar makers making a sliding Bass? I'm interested for sure. Mi...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_guitar Wikipedia definition: Slide guitar is a particular method or technique for playing the guitar. The term slide refers to the motion of the slide along the strings, To answer Eddie maybe. don't think it's safe to ascribe the slide "confusion" solely,...

Eddie is right to me. The Hawaiian Steel Guitar is what it is. Truly a style all it own played on your lap, legs table whatever. The English language we all agree is complex many interpretations for one word. When I think of slide Guitar I think of the style players like Johnny Winters for example. ...

OK here is my experience... When I was 9 years old and a group(Sales People) are going door to door selling music lessons. The choice was Hawaiian Steel Guitar or Violin. My Dad chooses the Hawaiian Steel Guitar for me since he was born in Hawaii and for the most part that was the kind of music we l...

Will do more research thanks for reminding Michael Happy New Year!!!

For sharing these fine videos. It has been so many years, brings back memories of keeping it simple and clean. Happy New Year!!! Michael

Hey Derek,

Listening to your tunes great interpretation of Wade in The Water. Saw Harvey Mandel do that song in the 70's. I think you have a great feel for the slide, style your own. So great to hear the slide taking to so many places. Nice backing tracks. Happy New Year!!!

Michael

Enjoyed very much. Good balance and great licks for what you are calling a rough recording. I'm impressed to hear this music so tastefully performed. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Michael

Thanks Dennis and all. Some of my latest questions have been answered. I'm really into the tunings because it makes it so much more easy for the blues and to switch genres. Great leads bookmarked em for sure...Michael

Opening up so many new things to experiment with. Thanks for sharing I really enjoyed this new approach to what I used to think was a very limited instrument.

http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix1205/3865_109746576_el_2.jpg I love playing this new guitar. Growls and is smooth as can be too. Ordered these machine heads because tuning this guitar is a real bear. and I like switching tunings on the fly. So these are arriving soon. Thanks Tom for cluing me ...

Beautiful Guitars and I bet they play splendid. Now you have my interest even more a Bass? What a concept. How many strings? I guess a 6 String slide bass would be perfect. Wow I can' wait to hear the plan. You all are so inspiring, real music and real people its more like the America I like being i...

Right on for sure I have both these great slide players in my favorites and I'm excited to learn more about their technique and the type of guitars they use. Now after all these years of playing the 6 string, I'm becoming fascinated with the sound of the 8 string and have been thinking of a combo a ...
