Do any slide guitarists slant the slide the way this steeler slants the bar? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnHL4R6bmOQ

(Caution New Zealanders: Don't watch this unless the syrup of ipecac ain't working.)

Thank goodness that I watched this before I had my evening meal !

And, I found out on Google that the Sirrup of Ipecac is not some eastern potentate, as I'd always believed.

This steeler, Rick Alexander, 1) was one mean bad don't-mess-with-him son of a bitch who made Chuck Berry look like a pansy, and 2) played a Guild X-500.

At any rate, I can't recall seeing any slide guitarists slanting like that. Have you seen slide played that way? Somebody must be doing it.
