Core slide techniques and picking patterns?
Does anyone have any suggestion where I can find some 3 string slide licks, techniques and picking patterns to add to my currently random wanderings over the strings?
Just some basic variations and patterns would be great so that I have a place to start with and start to get some variety into my playing.

Mike has some really good vids on learning slide along with some other great learning techniques.
Just scroll down his page and he has a vid on slide, he also has a bunch on youtube. Just click on the youtube tab on his home page and it'll take you to it.

Buzzing strings when fretted. Frets look good. I have a zero fret license plate guitar. Break angle I can inprove at the nut however the buzzing is coming from the bridge, I used a banjo bridge.
