Slide guitar resources

[BogartGuitars]

So after playing my guild with a new super low bridge, I've decided I do not like it's sound. Something 'plinky' about it now, even though my bridge height is still about 16+mm. Anyway, I'm putting the original bridge back in and making it a dedicated slide guitar from now on.

Any particular slide resources/recommendations gladly accepted. I currently can good around a little in open G, but I haven't really applied myself much to slide over the years.

Anyway, thanks for any responses.

Look up David Hamberger on You Tube. He has a ton of stuff on open G tuning, as well as other stuff.

Thanks a lot! I really like his teaching style. So grateful this forum exists.

What style? Blues, rock, Hawiaian?

David Lindley was one of my favorites on slide.



And David Gilmour

Just pickup some old Guild that needs a neck set, and Bob's your uncle.

David Lindley was a wizard on anything with strings, but he played lap steel in E tuning. He used the same interval relationships for tuning to other keys; A, C F. Ry Cooder plays in a variety of keys, but quite often in G.

I HAVE an old Guild that needs a neck reset.

Blues and Rock. I probably should give Hawaiian music more of a listen though.

Slide is leading me down the path to a resonator right now. That's probably the next thing.

I have resonators both square neck and round neck. Kind of one trick ponies.

I have some different lap steels that I enjoy far more. A Weissenborn style is a lot of fun also.
