Topic: Sliding In :0)

A big hello to all here.Just signed up today, what a great forum this is.I am just kinda starting to learn acoustic guitar, although i have bin messing about for a few years with chords and such. I watched a session on Saturday night~BBC 4- Seasick Steve & Company~ I really want to learn open tuning and slide guitar, any suggestions for complete begginers on this ?? There is sooo much info on the web it all gets a bit confusing.

Cheers~ MMsippy

Welcome.  Always happy when someone new comes in here.  The best advice is stick around here to see what you can learn and practice, practice, practice.  With lots of practice everyday, if you can, you will see and hear a difference over time.  Good luck.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Hi Missmessippy,

  I can't help with the slide, but wanted to welcome you to Chordie. I'm sure someone here can and will help you, as we have all levels of musicians here, and were a friendly bunch, so just hang on, someone will be along shortly to help you, though it is a little slower on the weekends, so keep checking back. Glad your onboard!

Hi Cam,
