Recently picked up playing slide, thought I'd put a video up. Hope you enjoy it. (update Dec 2010) It is very humbling to hear so many comments from people who enjoy this video. I have to say, this is really basic playing, and anyone can do it with a little practice. There are a lot of guys on YouTube that play AMAZING slide, Kenny Lee Burgess, Deltablues4761, Bottleneck John and others. You can see them in my favorites that I subscribe to. You really should check these guys out, you'll love it. BTW, since this was recorded I have switched to fingerstyle. I recommend anyone starting out avoid the crutch I used with the pick and just jump in with both feet. (update JAN 2011) for those who are interested in the gear - the instrument is a Republic Tricone. The recording setup uses both an amplified track and a room mic. If you look closely you can see the neck mounted LACE pickup. This is a slim humbucker made specifically for this type of application. It gives what you would expect, a more electric blues sound than natural acoustic tone. This sounds really great through a cranked old National lap steel amp for instance. The electric signal is going into a Behringer V-Amp Pro where I'm adding reverb and tremelo and using a Fender tweed deluxe type of amp setting. The acoustic track is actually 3 tracks, believe it or not. There are 2 pencil condenser mics in an XY pattern overhead and just out of view directly in front of the me is a Studio Projects C1 condenser. The 4 tracks are sent to a TASCAM 2488 NEO digital multitrack where I mixed the final track down. So you're not hearing the audio from the video camera at all. I synched-up the audio and video as best I could in Corel Video Studio. Of course uploading in a low quality flash video doesn't do a lot to help the final result, but you get the idea. The actual audio track sounds a lot better, and in case anyone would like a copy in lossless or MP3 format just shoot me an email, I'll give you a link to download it no charge. Thanks again for all the positive words, this encouragement is much appreciated!

Original instrumental in Minor tuning.
Played on 1930's Regal wooden Dobro.
This is dedicated to the fantastic HBO TV series, 'Carnivale', set in the 1930's dust bowl,where Good and Evil face off, (in metaphor of course), very eerie and very compelling viewing,excellent character acting with heaps of atmospherics, thunderstorms and massive, amazing sepia toned blizzards, not to mention some great hillbilly, jazz and blues soundbites from the era.
Well anyway, that's what I was contemplating whilst creating this tune, almost makes me wanna run out and get my fortune read!
