Hints 'n' Tips

Welcome to my hints tips page for playing slide guitar. After playing for just over 40 years I hope that some of the things I have learnt along the way will prove of interest to you.

The set-up I am going to describe is one that allows for normal fingerpicking to take place when the slide is not being used but still worn.

This offers great versatility and offers to the student the possibility of learning a very broad spectrum of slide styles, whilst at the same time helping to enable the student to create a more personal style.

I have outlined below a quick fix to set up your guitar ready for slide playing. If after trying this set-up you decide you are seriously going to study slide guitar then you will need to look at the advanced set-up guide, this set-up is paramount to a successful education in slide guitar, it is slightly controversial and does not comply with the normal text book teaching, but I highly recommend that try it, just once.
