Ian Siegal, "Superb" that sent shivers down my spine, what a voice! It was my birthday last Thursday and there, amongst the pile of goodies from Mrs Slidingwolf, were tickets to see Mr Siegal in April SW

I do love me some slide, and earlier I was using my glass slide on the Tanglewood in open G. Fabulous but its tricky muting the strings aft of the fret as you play. Now of course slide is a form of portamento or glissando, and Im familiar with that from my time playing with my brothers analog synths years ago! (had one myself for a while)

(had one myself for a while) I do like the sound of glass slides on wood bodied guitars. I got an old Fender acoustic which sounds good with a bottleneck - keep meaning to stick a nut raiser on it for Harry Manx style lap-slide. And glissandos , yes - theoretically an infinity of different notes on each string with a slide.

Another take on slide guitar... Thanks for posting - Mr S's playing of the strings behind the slide is the best I've heard. Tricky because you have to keep on the flat side of the note to stop the vibrato sounding like a rubber band when you play conventionally, so you have to switch it to the sharp side when you play the strings behind the slide. Not easy to keep it as fluid and in tune as he does. (If that makes any sense what so ever???) SW www.martnjwood.co.uk

Well, he's the bloke that should be playing Spoonfull! Keith Yo ho ho And here's a clip showing that using the guitar body as a rhythm instrument did not start with the your whippersnappers. You need a metal bodied guitar to stand the beating he gives it: SW www.martinjwood.co.uk
