Markio Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 what is slide guitar? Check this out: I don't know the correct terminology but he's using a 'slide' (tube on a finger) to literally slide up and down the fretboard.

Doc Holliday Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Gentlemen! Gentlemen! Please! There is only one group worth a mention when it comes to blues rock - Great White. Check out what is possibly one of their best tracks for blues guitars. It's a bit slow to get going but it's well worth the wait (especially around 4:05). They look like they got their hair from a car boot sale some years back, but other than that they are consistently one of my top rated bands.

Beardo Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 whilst on the subject of Ry Cooder, can i heartily recommend the album he did with Ali Farka Toure called "Talking Timbuktu", amazing bit of cross cultural music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
