Members Virgman Posted November 10, 2014 Members Share Posted November 10, 2014 Dick, This is going to sound obvious but 'practice sliding'. Here's a pentatonic lick with slides. Practice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jeremy_green Posted November 10, 2014 Members Share Posted November 10, 2014 It really is just something that comes with practice time and repetition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted November 11, 2014 Members Share Posted November 11, 2014 Also watch out for string cuts. Ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AJ6stringsting Posted December 30, 2014 Members Share Posted December 30, 2014 Also watch out for string cuts. Ouch! Don't play guitar ( especially Blues) after doing dishes , swimming or any other activities that involve getting you hands wet .... those SRV-Hendrix wild bends rip your fingers open. Let them dry for at least a half hour . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DocD3F4U17 Posted February 7, 2015 Members Share Posted February 7, 2015 I hold my slide on my middle finger because its my main focus, but have seen others put it on their pinky, i wish i could use fingers/slide style of play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JureGolobic Posted March 21, 2015 Members Share Posted March 21, 2015 Listen to your favorite guitarists and copy how they sound when they slide. I had an awesome teacher when i was studying at Musicians Institute who always said: 'If you want to be successful, you have to know how success sound like.' Copy success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
