SlideTest CBG#1

Slide turned up today so I thought I'd give it a go.

It's running through my practice amp.

First time I've used a slide before so please forgive any mistakes and harsh noises you may experience :D

Comment by AGP # on December 4, 2017 at 9:06am: Yep!, you have definitely passed the "Slide Test" :-)

Comment by the anonymous pick on December 4, 2017 at 7:51am: sounds legit ;-)

Comment by Uncle John on December 4, 2017 at 7:45am: Yep, Holly. Sounds fantastic. My usual (hard learned) slide tips are, good body posture and guitar posture too 1 guitar not leaned back to you. Drag the index finger over the strings behind the slide to cut down extraneous noise. Keep the slide moving for more feeling and human voice character- don't hold it right over the chord - waver it up and down a bit. And always eat frosted flakes for breakfast.

Comment by Jim Morris on December 4, 2017 at 5:27am: Slide sounds good to me!
